Experience premium comfort with cloudlike cushioning in the new ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 28
The latest ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 has arrived. This iconic, neutral, cushioned running shoe is celebrated for its cloud like cushioning and superior comfort. The latest model offers a weight reduction of over 20 grams compared to the previous model without compromising on the signature plush cushioning.
At the heart of this comfort is ASICS' FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, which provides soft landings and supports a smoother, more effortless stride. The shoe features PureGEL™ – a softer, updated version of ASICS' renowned GEL™ technology – positioned under the heel to ensure the same trusted shock absorption in a lighter, more refined form.
The significant weight reduction has been achieved through updates to the outsole construction, a new upper material, and an updated heel design. The HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole has been refined while maintaining durable traction where it's needed, while the engineered knit upper maintains the excellent breathability of the previous model while providing a softer, lighter, and more comfortable fit.
The updated heel design further contributes to weight reduction while creating a streamlined, modern look. Together, these updates create a lighter overall feel without sacrificing the plush cushioning that defines the GEL-NIMBUS™ series.
In addition, the new tongue loop construction makes it easier to slip the shoe on, providing a comfortable fit that enhances the overall running experience. The updated eyelet loop design minimizes visible loops on the upper, creating a sleek, modern, and refined look.
The GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe's carbon footprint is 36% lower than the industry average and has a carbon footprint of 9.3kg CO2e/pair.*
Whether you're an avid runner looking for a long run-shoe or a beginner for maximum comfort everyday, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 is designed to help keep you moving with ease and comfort.
