The Gel-Nimbus 27, a continuation of ASICS' flagship neutral cushioned running shoe line, was released on March 14, 2025. This iteration refines a legacy built on comfort and cushioning, designed for runners seeking a cloud-like experience. The Gel-Nimbus series has consistently represented ASICS' dedication to premium running footwear, and the 27th version continues this trend.
Designed as a premium neutral daily training shoe, the Gel-Nimbus 27 excels in recovery runs, easy jogs, and long-distance road running. It caters to runners with neutral or underpronation gaits. The increased stack height and advanced cushioning technologies provide an exceptionally comfortable and supportive ride, making it ideal for runners prioritizing comfort.
The Gel-Nimbus series' influence is undeniable within the running community. Naomi Campbell, seen at the Monaco Grand Prix in Monte Carlo on May 25, 2025, showcases the shoe's appeal beyond performance. Eilish McColgan's participation in the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 Limited Edition Launch in Hoofddorp, The Netherlands on March 19, 2025, further cements its position. The Nimbus series continues to be a staple in the running world and daily training.
The upper is crafted from an engineered jacquard mesh, enhanced with a knit tongue and collar for a soft feel.

The HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole, blending ASICSGRIP™ rubber and AHARPLUS™ materials, ensures advanced grip and durability.
