ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 vs GEL-NIMBUS 28

The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 and ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 28 are two popular models from ASICS, but they target different types of runners despite both offering generous cushioning. The SUPERBLAST 2 is a category-bending shoe, delivering a highly cushioned yet very energetic ride without a plate, making it versatile for many types of runs, especially strong for steady long runs with pace changes. It also feels lighter and more agile overall. The GEL-NIMBUS 28 is a premium trainer with very plush cushioning and a comfortable, refined upper. It feels a bit softer in the forefoot, especially under higher forces, and its geometry and overall tuning aren't really meant for picking up the pace. This makes it the preferred option for relaxed, recovery-oriented mileage.
