ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 vs On Cloudmonster 2
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.
- On Cloudmonster 2 — You coach neutral runners who want a firm-but-cushioned, durable max-stack daily trainer and like On’s rockered ride.
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.
On Cloudmonster 2
81Score · Medium
from €122
A stable, durable max-cushion daily trainer that rides firm rather than plush — buy it for the cushioned roll, not for softness or speed.
