Been a supporter of Nimbus since the beginning but they are getting cheaper with the materials. I went to buy a pair yesterday at my local running store put them on and I already knew they were built cheaply.<br /><br />I think everyone has had those experiences when the wear or use something they know is cheap. I had one of those experiences with the Nimbus 17. I know they were going for a lighter more flexible version but In my opinion a trainer should not be light and made of cheap lightweight synthetics to make it more flexible. Make the Nimbus how they were always made.
