GEL-NIMBUS 27 delivers plush cushion and smooth strides for daily road running
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I grab the GEL-NIMBUS 27 anytime I want a luxurious, no-fuss run. It’s soft without feeling sluggish, and the knit upper hugs my foot perfectly without pressure. It’s my favorite for easy miles and long recovery sessions when I want max comfort."
We rely on the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 for cloud-like comfort and a smooth ride, whether we’re racking up weekly mileage or just cruising through a recovery day. With its max-cushion profile and supportive yet responsive platform, this shoe lets us run longer without fatigue setting in.
Designed around ASICS’ FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole foam and signature GEL technology, the GEL-NIMBUS 27 blends ultra-soft impact absorption with energy-returning bounce. A stretchy, breathable knit upper molds to our foot shape for a locked-in feel that doesn’t overheat, while the 8mm drop keeps transitions fluid mile after mile. Tailored with gender-specific 3D Space Construction, the underfoot compression pattern adapts to different strides for truly personalized comfort.

Great shoes
This is my second pair of these shoes. They fit great and are so comfortable. I walk several miles each day at my job and these shoes keep my feet feeling good.

Needs improvement
Miss the older models. The toe in sneakers that cost this much money should not start to wear down after a few times wearing them. However, they do. Also, they keep trying to make the soul more and more cushiony. This is not a good idea. There is a sweet spot of cushion and then there is too much cushion. Asics gel nimbus 27 has entered the “too much cushion range “at this point.

Favorite tenni shoes I have ever had!
I use these as my walking shoes and day-to-day tennis shoes. I used to wear Hokas for my day to day, but when i purchased these I fell in LOVE. They are so cushiony and my feet do not cramp as they used to in tennis shoes! Very roomy and wide toe box! My only complaint (which this happens on every pair of shoes) is that the back (of the inside) has some wear and tear after having them since mid August (now October--so 3 months).

Best Shoe Ever
This is the most comfortable and lightweight shoe I have ever had. I wear them to the gym and to go walking and it has really helped my lower back pain. Spend the Money, Buy the Shoes, they're worth every penny.

Super Cushioned Stability
The cushioning in the Asics Gel-Nimbus has protected my feet, lets and knees from so many of the issues plaguing me in the past; this is now my go-to shoe and the Nimbus-27 does not disappoint. The shoes provide stability as well as great shock absorption and they are extremely comfortable.

Runs Small
The shoe has maximun cushion but runs small kn length. The toe box is very shallow and I could feel the top of the box on my toes. Disappointing new model.

Gel-Nimbus 26 was better
Gel-Nimbus 26 was better, wish they had not changed, too much extra padding seems to make it stiffer.
