What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve run in a lot of shoes, but nothing beats the GEL-NIMBUS 27 for all-day comfort. Whether it’s a long weekend run or just a recovery jog, the soft ride and plush upper make every mile easier. It’s the shoe I grab when I want to treat my feet."
From the first mile to the last, the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 keeps us comfortable and cruising. This premium neutral running shoe is built for soft landings, smooth transitions, and long-lasting support. Whether we're logging our weekly distance or heading out for an easy shakeout, the GEL-NIMBUS 27's high-cushion platform makes every step feel forgiving and fluid.
Engineered with FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole foam, the GEL-NIMBUS 27 offers ultra-lightweight cushioning with a softer underfoot feel, while the updated knit upper adds flexible comfort and enhanced breathability. GEL technology absorbs impact in key zones, and the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner gives us a step-in feel that’s as premium as the ride itself. Topped off with an 8mm drop and gender-specific 3D Space Construction, this shoe is the go-to for runners who want maximum comfort on any training day.

Not a fan of the color options for the 27s
I've bought 3 pairs of the 26's but I cant stand the color options for the 27's. I have a pair I wear casually, and one for working out. I just wish there was a neutral black color like the 26s. Hopefully they bring it back for the 28s.

An honest review-marathon runner
Over all solid shoes, 200lb male, used these in my last marathon with no issues. I don’t think I will do that again though. In my opinion these are better for training on your medium to long runs. They’re a bit heavier than other running shoes I’ve worn. The extra padding also generates more heat and hugs your ankles but I don’t think it’s that big of deal if you’re a hobby runner or just aiming for that first marathon finish. These shoes will keep your feet safe and comfortable and allow you to finish strong. Recommended buy for beginners or as a long run trainer shoe. (I would also size up .5 from your standard size as they are very true to fit, youll want a little more room in them) And If you’re not a runner then these shoes are great for being on your feet all day or walking long distances. Pros: comfy, durable, nice energy return for the amount of padding Cons: warmer & heavier than other running shoes

Even more comfortable and springy than my last pair of Gel-Nimbus. Did not think that was possible!

Good so far
I have only used them for a short time. I like the extra cushion they provide. I just finished a marathon in them and I have n complaints.

Nimbus are my Go-tos
Love my Nimbus, had the 25s and they didn’t disappoint. Ran my first marathon and even with high mileage they were so supported. I moved away to another brand but had to come back to ASICS!

Great responsiveness for training or race day
I purchased these for my first marathon. I’m 50 and on the heavy side so I typically use shoes with extra support and stability, but they don’t have much responsiveness. This is my first pair of NIMBUS shoes and I’m impressed with the light weight feel and stability but I also get a boost as I run in these. Plus, they are reasonably priced in comparison to similar brands. I’m very impressed.
