Weighing over 20 grams less, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 running shoes delivers enhanced comfort. It retains its signature plush cushioning, helping runners move both body and mind.
ASICS today proudly announces the launch of the 28th generation of the GEL-NIMBUS™ shoe, the iconic cushioned running shoe. It is celebrated for its cloud-like cushioning and superior comfort that uplift both body and mind. Through a weight reduction of over 20 grams compared to the previous model, the shoe provides an even more refined, comfortable running experience. This is achieved without compromising the signature plush cushioning.
At the heart of this comfort is ASICS’ FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, which provides soft landings that feel like running on clouds. It supports a smoother, more effortless stride. The shoe features PureGEL™ – a softer, updated version of ASICS’ renowned GEL™ technology. This is positioned under the heel to ensure the same trusted shock absorption. It is presented 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. It maintains durable traction where it’s needed. Meanwhile, 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. It also creates 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. It provides a comfortable fit that enhances the overall running experience. eyelet loop design minimizes visible loops on the upper, creating a sleek, modern, and refined look.
The shoe will become available on December 1st, 2025. To find out more about the GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 shoe and the latest technologies, please visit asics.com.
