Based solely on manufacturer evidence, the Gel-Nimbus 28 continues ASICS' plush neutral daily-trainer line, dropping roughly 20g versus the 27 while retaining deep cushioning aimed at long, easy runs. Independent ride, fit and durability testing was not available, so real-world firmness and stack figures remain unconfirmed.
Soft, high-stack cushioning with FF BLAST PLUS foam and GEL prioritizes comfort over energy return, giving a cushioned but not particularly springy ride.
Runs true to size with a comfortable, plush upper and multiple widths including standard, wide, and extra-wide.
Long, easy road miles and recovery runs where maximum underfoot comfort matters more than speed.
You want a responsive, ground-connected ride for tempo work or racing.
