GEL-NIMBUS 27 delivers plush cushion and smooth strides for daily road running
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I grab the GEL-NIMBUS 27 anytime I want a luxurious, no-fuss run. It’s soft without feeling sluggish, and the knit upper hugs my foot perfectly without pressure. It’s my favorite for easy miles and long recovery sessions when I want max comfort."
We rely on the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 27 for cloud-like comfort and a smooth ride, whether we’re racking up weekly mileage or just cruising through a recovery day. With its max-cushion profile and supportive yet responsive platform, this shoe lets us run longer without fatigue setting in.
Designed around ASICS’ FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole foam and signature GEL technology, the GEL-NIMBUS 27 blends ultra-soft impact absorption with energy-returning bounce. A stretchy, breathable knit upper molds to our foot shape for a locked-in feel that doesn’t overheat, while the 8mm drop keeps transitions fluid mile after mile. Tailored with gender-specific 3D Space Construction, the underfoot compression pattern adapts to different strides for truly personalized comfort.

Super Cushioned Stability
The cushioning in the Asics Gel-Nimbus has protected my feet, lets and knees from so many of the issues plaguing me in the past; this is now my go-to shoe and the Nimbus-27 does not disappoint. The shoes provide stability as well as great shock absorption and they are extremely comfortable.

Runs Small
The shoe has maximun cushion but runs small kn length. The toe box is very shallow and I could feel the top of the box on my toes. Disappointing new model.

Gel-Nimbus 26 was better
Gel-Nimbus 26 was better, wish they had not changed, too much extra padding seems to make it stiffer.

Nursing shoes
These are pretty good nursing shoes. Not much arch support but big toe box and stretchy top. They’re not hot and they’re soft and supportive.

Great fit
I've been a fan of the Gel Nimbus and wanted to upgrade from my Gel Nimbus 25. It performs just as always. Great support, perfect cushion, and I feel great after long runs.

Good for plantar fasciitis
I have bad plantar fasciitis and these are amazing for my feet. I can still get my walks in.

Comfy easy ride
They’re amazing for long runs. As someone who underpronates and is injury prone, these feel like a cloud and I look forward to using them.

Stiffed toes
I have plantar fasciitis and Gel Nimbus 27 midsole is perfect when i stand. 3 star because I felt something bulky on metatarsal arch that pushed my mid and ring toes higher and stiffed and the drop was too high.My big toes drifted inward and felt uneven pressure and imbalance when i walk. I bought Asics GT 1000 14 and it's very comfortable for walking,i wish it has a max cushion.

Not the same as previous gel numbs
Have been wearing Asics since Gel Nimbus 23. These do not fit like the others. Much wider and not as much support in the arch. My feet actually hurt during my workout which normally happens when I need new shoes. Very disppointed
