The GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is one of the most comfortable styles in the ASICS® running shoe range. Approximately 25g lighter than the previous version, this shoe continues to offer excellent cushioning to make running longer distances feel smoother.
The midsole features a combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and PureGEL® technology. These components help create a lightweight and soft cushioning experience that feels like you're landing on clouds.
The upper is constructed with an engineered knit material that softly wraps your feet and keeps them comfortable.
