Asics Gel-Nimbus 28 review: what runners say

Fit
True to size, with adequate room without excess. Available in wide and extra wide. Well-padded collar and heel deliver solid lockdown.
Feel
Maximum cushioning with an airy feel and improved dynamic compression over the 27. Not bouncy, but stable and comfortable for easy and long runs.
Durability
Hybrid outsole with AHAR Plus at the heel for wear resistance in high-impact zones. Expected mileage not explicitly stated in sources, but the construction is durability-oriented.
Best for
Daily trainer for runners logging 25–30 km per week who prioritize comfort and reliability. Suited for easy runs, recovery, and extended time on feet. Not suited for quality sessions or faster paces.
Weak points
Poor energy return compared to alternatives at the price point. $170 price tag considered excessive for an EVA blend midsole with no premium technologies. Second consecutive price increase.
