Model Updates
The Asics Gel‑Nimbus 28 is notably lighter than its predecessor—shedding over 20 grams—thanks to refined outsole construction, an engineered knit upper, and a streamlined heel design. It also features easier entry via a new tongue loop and maintains full-length FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning with a softer PureGEL™ insert for a more breathable, modern fit.
