Experience more comfort with ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® running shoes
Feel like you're landing on clouds with every step. The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® running shoes have been revamped for a softer and lighter running experience.
When will the GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe be released in the US?
ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® 28 running shoe, the latest model in the GEL-NIMBUS® series, will be released in the United States on January 09, 2026.
What are ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® shoes best for?
ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® neutral running shoes are a good choice for running longer distances, easy everyday runs and recovery days. If you're a runner looking for exceptional comfort and lightweight cushioning, you'll appreciate these shoes.
The combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and PureGEL™ technology creates a lightweight and soft experience that feels like you're landing on clouds. Additionally, the engineered jacquard mesh upper comfortably wraps your foot while allowing ventilation. The HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole also uses ASICSGRIP™ rubber and AHARPLUS™ materials for advanced durability and good traction on a range of terrains.
What's the difference between the GEL-NIMBUS® 27 and GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoes?
The new ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is lighter than its predecessor. We cut between 20 and 25 grams from the shoe without sacrificing the cushioning that the GEL-NIMBUS® name is known for. Long runs will still be easy on your legs, and you'll experience soft landings and smooth strides. We also redesigned the shoe's upper using an engineered knit material that's breathable and supports stability.
GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe vs. other ASICS running shoes
Every running shoe has unique properties that suit different runners. ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is for runners seeking shock absorption, comfort and a lightweight feel in a neutral running shoe.
Unlike the GEL-NIMBUS® model, the GEL-KAYANO® shoe features structural support that controls overpronation and guides a more stable stride. The NOVABLAST® model has a unique shape that offers an energized run. In contrast, the GEL-NIMBUS® shoe uses ASICS PureGEL™ technology for a softer, cushioned and more comfortable run. The GEL-NIMBUS® running shoe also has more foam in the underfoot for comfort compared to the lighter-weight GEL-CUMULUS® model.
Are ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® shoes suitable for walking?
ASICS GEL-NIMBUS® cushioned running shoes are an excellent choice for walking. The lightweight cushioning that absorbs the shock of every step while running will keep you comfortable on long walks, too. These shoes could decrease the impact on your lower back and knees, and the supportive upper may help relieve tired feet.
