Details

The ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 continues its reign as the brand’s flagship luxury daily trainer, delivering plush cushioning and effortless comfort for runners of all levels. Designed for smooth, easy mileage, this latest edition introduces a lighter, redesigned knit upper that refreshes the fit and feel while preserving the Nimbus’ signature softness underfoot. The result is a more modern, breathable ride that still feels unmistakably Nimbus from the first step to the last mile.


Underfoot, a generous stack of FF BLAST™ PLUS foam provides shock-absorbing protection that smooths out road impact and keeps legs feeling fresh on longer runs and full days on your feet. In the rearfoot, PureGEL™ technologycreates a deeply cushioned landing zone for silky-smooth transitions and added comfort at touchdown. The updated upper features a refined heel construction for secure step-in comfort, a redesigned pull tab for easy on-and-off, and new eyelet loops that allow for personalized lockdown across a wide range of foot shapes.


Finishing the package, the HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole delivers reliable traction and durability for consistent weekly training. Soft, protective, and thoughtfully updated, the Gel Nimbus 28 remains a go-to choice for runners seeking premium comfort and dependable performance mile after mile.
