GEL-NIMBUS 28
GEL-NIMBUS 28 is a maximum-cushion trainer for daily miles and longer runs. ASICS places rubber only where needed, cutting about 20g from the previous version while retaining grip and durability. FF BLAST PLUS foam and heel PureGEL soften landings; an engineered knit upper varies its weave for ventilation and a wrapped fit. HYBRID ASICSGRIP pairs midfoot ASICSGRIP with durable AHARPLUS at the toe and heel.
