Asics continues to surprise me the last few months. From the Glideride Max to the
Novablast 5, Asics has included its new FF Blast Max that is superbly comfortable and more
plush in more and more shoes. The Asics Gel Nimbus 27 is a different story however, it
continues to be a flagship shoe with little changes. Containing the same FF Blast + with the
same rubber, and an improved upper, fans of the Nimbus 26 will be happy to know it hasn’t
changed too much.
I believe this shoe has a perfect spot in Asics lineup in 2025. Max cushioned shoes
continue to get more plush and add even more foam. The Gel Nimbus 27 however is a bit more
stable and on the firmer end. I also feel it is perfect for heel strikers as the Gel makes for a
perfect heel to toe transition. Plus the upper of the Nimbus reminds me of the stealthfit from
Brooks, the tongue is stretchy and provides a snug and comfortable fit.
For those that enjoy a higher cushioned shoe, but not too much plush, the Nimbus 27 is
the perfect shoe! Stop into either of our stores and try on the Nimbus 27 for yourself!
