ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 vs Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
Sqwod verdict
Dead heat — 82 vs 82. Your use case is the tiebreaker.
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.
- Saucony Endorphin Speed 4 — Runners who want one shoe for daily miles, tempo and race day, especially at today's discounted prices.
ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27
82Score · Medium
from €140
A supremely comfortable, stable max-cushion daily trainer for easy miles — best bought on discount as the outgoing model.
Saucony Endorphin Speed 4
82Score · Medium
from €119
A benchmark nylon-plated super-trainer: light, bouncy and genuinely do-it-all. With the Speed 5 out, the 4 is now a steal at German street prices.
