ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 vs Brooks Glycerin 23

The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 and Brooks Glycerin 23 are two premium daily trainers with slightly different philosophies. The ASICS is the lighter, more versatile, and more protective shoe overall, with better cushioning underfoot, and it holds up impressively across everything from short, easy efforts to longer runs. The Brooks is the more traditional option: a workhorse with a smaller stack, it can handle most daily mileage, but it's better suited to heel strikers who still want a decent amount of cushioning, just with a bit more ground feel.
