Our read

The Gel-Nimbus 28 continues ASICS' plush max-cushion neutral lineage, aiming squarely at comfortable long runs and easy mileage rather than speed. At 256g with an 8mm drop and soft FF Blast Plus/PureGEL midsole, it favors protective cushioning over responsiveness, making it a dependable everyday choice for runners who prioritize a soft, cloud-like ride.

Ride

Soft, well-cushioned ride from FF Blast Plus and PureGEL, tuned for smooth long-distance comfort rather than pop or ground feel.

Fit

Engineered knit upper is designed to softly wrap the foot for comfort; documented only in standard width.

Best for

Runners wanting a plush, high-cushion neutral trainer for daily miles, easy days and long road runs.

Avoid if

You want a lightweight, responsive shoe for racing, tempo work or a firm, connected ride.
