The details
About the ASICS Gel Nimbus 28
Soft, lighter, all-day comfort.
The Men's ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 is a max-cushioned neutral trainer for runners who want a plush, protective ride on easy days and long runs. It sheds weight from the previous version while keeping the signature Nimbus comfort.
FF BLAST PLUS foam runs the length of the midsole, and a PureGEL insert, about 65% softer than standard GEL, softens landings. An engineered knit upper with at least 75% recycled content wraps the foot, and a HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole combines ASICSGRIP and AHARPLUS rubber for grip and durability.
Key Features:
- FF BLAST PLUS cushioning
- PureGEL technology, about 65% softer than standard GEL
- Engineered knit upper with at least 75% recycled content
- HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole with ASICSGRIP and AHARPLUS rubber
- Reflective details
- 8mm heel-to-toe drop
- Neutral support
Ideal For:
Neutral runners and walkers who want maximum cushioning for long runs, easy days and all-day wear.
Why We Love It:
Plush, protective cushioning that makes long miles feel easy.
Expert reviews
What reviewers say about the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28
Our take
A soft, stable neutral trainer for easy miles, long runs and all-day wear. It is lighter and more comfortable than past versions, but the ride feels firm and muted rather than bouncy.
Reviewers like
- Very comfortable, secure upper
- Lighter than the previous Nimbus
- Stable ride for a tall shoe
Watch for
- Foam feels flat, little energy return
- Thin tongue can cause lace pressure
-
RunRepeat86/100
Their lab found the lightest, comfiest Nimbus in years with strong shock absorption, but the foam returns little energy and breathes poorly.

Doctors of Running
The reviewer found it lighter, stiffer and snappier than expected and very stable, though firmer underfoot, with some lace bite from the thin tongue.

Believe in the Run
A dependable cushioned shoe for easy days and walking, but the updates are modest, so a discounted Nimbus 27 is a tempting alternative.

Running Shoes Guru
Comfortable, well built and much lighter, yet firmer and less lively than rival max cushion trainers, so the ride can feel dull.
