ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 Running Shoes

ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 is built for runners who put comfort first. It is a road running shoe with a plush feel underfoot, making it well suited to longer efforts and easier recovery kilometres.

This version keeps the familiar GEL-NIMBUS cushioning story, with FF BLAST™ PLUS foam and PureGEL® technology helping soften each landing. It is also around 20g lighter than GEL-NIMBUS 27, with an updated engineered knit upper that wraps the foot comfortably.

Smiths Sports Shoes stocks selected GEL-NIMBUS 28 styles across current colours and sizes. For runners who already like the soft feel of the Nimbus range, this model gives the latest version a smoother, lighter step without moving away from what the shoe is known for.

ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 Fit & GAIT Advice

GEL-NIMBUS 28 should feel soft, but it still needs to sit properly on your foot. The cushioning can only do its job if the heel feels settled and the upper holds comfortably through the run.

GAIT analysis can help check whether this neutral cushioned shoe suits the way you move. If you tend to land through the heel, the PureGEL® setup may be useful, but fit and stride still need to be looked at together.

The team at Smiths can also help compare size and width options. That matters with a shoe like GEL-NIMBUS 28, especially if you are choosing between a standard fit and a wider option.

Bring in your current runners if you have them. Seeing what you already wear often makes it easier to decide whether GEL-NIMBUS 28 is the right next step.
