GEL-NIMBUS 28
The GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is one of the most comfortable styles in the ASICS running shoe range. Approximately 25g lighter than the previous version, this shoe continues to offer excellent cushioning to make running longer distances feel smoother.
The midsole features a combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and PureGEL® technology. These components help create a lightweight and soft cushioning experience that feels like you're landing on clouds.
The upper is constructed with an engineered knit material that softly wraps your feet and keeps them comfortable.
- Engineered knit upper - A lightweight, breathable knit material that reduces the need for additional overlays
- PureGEL® technology - Softer, updated version of our GEL® technology that maintains all the acclaimed properties that have made GEL® technology famous. Approximately 65% softer vs standard GEL® technology
- FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning - Midsole foam that provides a blend of cloud like cushioning and a responsive ride that is lighter than FF BLAST™
- OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner - Premium sockliner that provides cushioning performance and moisture management for a cooler, dryer environment
- Reflective details - Visibility for enhanced nightime and early-morning reflective brightness
- HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole - Combines ASICSGRIP™ rubber and AHARPLUS™ materials to help provide advanced grip for various terrains and advanced durability
- At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content to reduce waste and carbon emissions
- The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology
Designed For Neutral/Underpronation
Neutral
Foot Type: Normal-size arches.
Push-Off: You experience even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries: Getting hurt is less likely due to effective shock absorption, but not impossible.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: Your foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, absorbing impact on the body.
Underpronation
Foot Type: High arches.
Push-Off: The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
Considered Injuries: Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
How Your Foot Contacts the Ground: The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
