REVIEW: ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 27

Renowned for being the most comfortable shoe in the ASICS range, the GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 is a versatile companion and a firm favorite among experienced marathoners, casual joggers, and those looking to embark on a fresh fitness journey.

The GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 also has a 27% lower carbon footprint than the industry average with a total of 10.6kgCO₂e/pair.

The Midsole

Strategically placed under the heel, PureGEL™ technology delivers enhanced shock absorption and soft, cushioned landings every time. 

The midsole height has an 8mm drop like the GEL-NIMBUS 26 but now sits on top of an extra 2mm of FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO for more comfort than ever before. Extra foam doesn’t mean a compromise on weight though the GEL-NIMBUS 27 has managed to come in just under the weight of the GEL-NIMBUS 26 thanks to the lightweight version of FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO. 

Even better the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is 20-25% more sustainable than conventional foams.

The Upper

A new engineered mesh replaces the engineered knit in the GEL-NIMBUS 26 which allows for optimal breathability and fit. With a soft, stretchy knit tongue and knit rib collar for easy step-in and next-level comfort. But comfort doesn’t mean you aren’t missing out on sustainability since the upper is made from recycled polyester.
