The GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe has now arrived! Here’s what you can expect in the latest version of one of the most comfortable styles in the ASICS running shoe range.
Who is the GEL-NIMBUS™ shoe for?
Since its release, runners have turned to the GEL-NIMBUS™ series for cloud-like cushioning and legendary comfort. Fans of the GEL-CUMULUS™ will discover even more reasons to love the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28.
Explore the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe if you’re looking for:
- A plush daily trainer suitable for long-distance and recovery runs
- A soft, cloudlike cushioned feel underfoot to move your body and mind
- Strategically placed PureGEL™ technology delivering enhanced shock absorption for those who like to land heel first.

What’s familiar
Key features from the GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 shoe also feature in the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe:
- PureGEL™ technology in the heel for soft landings, impact absorption, and smooth transitions from landing to toe-off.
- FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning for a lightweight feel and cloudlike comfort

What’s new
Always, we implemented our philosophy of kaizen (“continuous improvement”) to make the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe more comfortable than ever.
The GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 is approximately 20g lighter than its predecessor, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 27, thanks to strategic material and design enhancements—such as the redesigned HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole, which delivers unparalleled traction and durability with a lighter feel.
Runners upgrading from the GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 shoe will also notice the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 has an updated engineered knit upper, which delivers more breathability for all-around comfort especially during those long runs, and a new tongue loop that makes the shoe easier to slip on and get going.
Lastly, the GEL-NIMBUS ™ 28 shoe features a streamlined heel and pull-tab design that helps reduce overall weight allowing you to pick up the pace easier than before.
