Weighing over 20 grams less, the Asics GEL-NIMBUS 28 delivers enhanced comfort while retaining its signature plush cushioning, helping runners move both body and mind.
ASICS proudly announced the launch of the 28th generation of the GEL-NIMBUS™ running shoe, the iconic neutral cushioned running shoe, celebrated for its cloud-like cushioning and superior comfort.
At the heart of this comfort is ASICS’ FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, which provides soft landings that feel like running on clouds and supports a smoother, more effortless stride. The shoe features PureGEL™ 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, 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 minimises visible loops on the upper, creating a sleek, modern, and refined look.

“Our approach to the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe reflects ASICS’ Kaizen philosophy, continually refining every detail to create better experiences for runners. Through thoughtful updates to the outsole, upper, and cushioning, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe takes comfort to even greater heights. This process ensures that every runner can move both their body and mind with greater ease and enjoyment.”
