The GEL-NIMBUS 27 features an extra 2mm of FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning underfoot.

The shoe's new Engineered Jacquard Mesh Upper replaces the knit material from its predecessor. 

Lightweight and highly breathable, this design ensures your feet remain cool and comfortable, even on longer runs or in humid conditions.



3. Enjoy softer landings with PureGEL technology

ASICS' signature PureGEL™ technology, featured in the rearfoot, now offers 65% softer cushioning.

This new tech allows the shoe to absorb impact effortlessly, delivering a smoother and more cushioned landing every time your foot hits the ground.


4. Find sufficient grip for every type of terrain

Equipped with the HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole, the GEL-NIMBUS 27 combines ASICSGRIP™ and AHARPLUS™ rubber for outstanding traction, durability, and softness.

This ensures a stable and confident run, whether you're on wet pavements or rugged trails.
