I "stand by" the Asics Nimbus 26 for 3-500 miles. (3 mos)
Men's ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26- Sheet Rock/Thunder Blue - Standard Width D
The Gel-Nimbus 26 makes subtle improvements to the previous model, which was one of the best running shoes of its year. An updated tongue and engineered knit upper create a softer fit and more supportive hold, but the overall construction is very similar to the 25 and still outstanding. Get fast...

I've gone through 2 pairs, and except for the fact that the top mesh is weak sauce and I can see my socks through them - they're great.

- Hoka Bondi 9

These for the rain
And some other joints just for hoofing it/hitting the gym (can't find a pic, might already be discontinued after a year..)
I actually need a new pair since last week. I've put 500 miles on my 26's and might upgrade to the 27s.
