ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 vs Brooks Ghost 18
Sqwod verdict
Our pick: ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 takes it — 83 vs 81.
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.
- Brooks Ghost 18 — You coach beginners or neutral heel-strikers who need a stable, durable, foolproof shoe for daily easy miles.
