The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 28 remains a top choice for runners and walkers who wants comfort above all else. This latest version offers a luxurious, plush fit in a surprisingly lightweight package, making it the perfect companion for long runs, casual walks, or even long shifts on your feet.

Featuring the FF BLAST PLUS midsole, the Nimbus 28 delivers a soft, smooth ride designed to keep your feet happy mile after mile. For those who felt the previous Nimbus 27 was perhaps too soft and pillowy, the 28 introduces a more refined, runnable feel that balances softness with a smoother transition.

The design is also incredibly accommodating; with its thin, stretchy tongue and flexible lacing structure, it provides a perfect fit for those with high-volume feet or anyone who simply appreciates a bit of extra space. It is the ultimate everyday trainer for anyone seeking pure, distraction-free comfort.

Nimbus 28 Womens

"Recently bought a pair of these for my wife to replace her Kayanos as she no longer needed the extra support. She has been really linking the Nimbus which she says fits her true to size and is extremely plush and comfortable for walking and easy runs."

— Chris H. (5/5)

Wonderful as usual

"I’ve been wearing Gel Nimbus since model 16…we are up to model 28 now. It is an amazing comfortable shoe with lots of room in toe box. I have a wide foot for a lady and have always chosen the men’s 2E wide and it fits beautifully. I have a neuroma on my right foot and I never have to wear orthotics because the gel nimbus is so soft and comfortable. Three cheers for ASCIS’s Gel Nimbus…. . never lets you down. Cheers, Mary"

"The product itseld is amazing and effective! My gait really bounces right off the pavement and gives cushioning and a literal spring in my step! Only downside for me was that I couldn't get it in the colour I wanted, green and orange, because that model was exclusively for people with wide feet 🥲"

— Fabio (4/5)

A good update

"Reduced weight is a welcome update but heel to toe drop seems less than Nimbus 26 for comparison - specs note the same drop"

— Jared T. (4/5)
