ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 vs GEL-NIMBUS 28

The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 and ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 are two iterations of ASICS' premium cushioned trainer, and cushioning remains the headline in both, but the update shifts the feel in a meaningful way. The GEL-NIMBUS 28 trims weight, making the ride feel more cohesive and less bottom-heavy, and it sits a bit lower at the heel with a slightly reduced drop while still providing plenty of protection for easy miles and recovery runs. If you want the more comfort-cruiser take on the lineup, the GEL-NIMBUS 27 fits that role well, but if you want even more premium protection in a lighter, more polished package that feels easier to use across more of your training, the 28 is the better evolution.
