Named after the Latin word for "cloud," NIMBUS, the ASICS "GEL-NIMBUS" series provides a soft ride experience, as if running on clouds, and has been a bestseller since its debut in 1999, enjoying widespread support among runners.

It boasts significant popularity in the large cushioning shoe markets of Europe and America. The latest model in the series, which features improved cushioning, is the GEL-NIMBUS 27. How has it been updated? We spoke with Tomoko Fujihata from the product planning team.

GEL-NIMBUS 27, now with enhanced cushioning, priced at 20,900 yen (tax included)

Midsole Thickness Increased by 2mm

The midsole of the "GEL-NIMBUS 27" continues to utilize the FF BLAST PLUS ECO material, just like its predecessor. This foam material is lightweight and soft, featuring the bouncy rebound of FF BLAST PLUS functionality, with approximately 24% derived from plant-based sources for environmental consideration.

The biggest update point of the "GEL-NIMBUS 27" is that the midsole has been increased in thickness by 2mm all around.

"In pursuit of the comfort and softness that the GEL-NIMBUS series cherishes, the midsole has been made thicker compared to the previous model. You will be able to feel a softer cushioning sensation when you wear and run in it, compared to earlier models."
