ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 vs ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 takes it — 83 vs 82.
Both are strong — the call comes down to what you prioritise:
- ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 — You coach runners who want maximum underfoot protection for easy days, long slow distance, or higher-mileage and heavier runners.
- ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28 — You coach runners who want maximum underfoot protection for easy days, long slow distance or higher weekly mileage, and you want the current Nimbus rather than run-out stock.
Our pick 
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27
83Score · Medium
from €129.90
A supremely comfortable, stable max-cushion daily trainer for easy miles — best bought on discount as the outgoing model.
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 28
82Score · Medium
from €140
A lighter, slightly more agile Nimbus that keeps the plush, stable ride for easy miles. There is still no pop for faster running, and at about €140 street it now costs what the 27 did on discount.
