Product Key Highlights
-
Lightweight Maximal Cushioning: Dropping under 10 oz, the Nimbus 28 is one of the lightest iterations in the history of the Gel-Nimbus line while maintaining a high stack height for joint protection during long runs and daily training.
-
PureGEL™ Technology: A hidden gel insert embedded in the heel provides maximum shock absorption on heel contact without adding unnecessary weight or bulk.
-
FF BLAST™ PLUS Midsole: Delivers lightweight, bouncy, and resilient foam underfoot to absorb impact and create a energetic toe-off.
-
HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ Outsole: Combines ASICSGRIP™ rubber with High-Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) in high-wear zones for dependable traction and durability on road surfaces.
-
Breathable Upper & Eco-Conscious Build: Built with a thin engineered mesh upper for improved ventilation. At least 75% of the main upper material is constructed using recycled materials, and the sockliner utilizes solution-dyeing to lower carbon emissions and water usage.
