If you've ever clocked a 5km run only to wish your legs could go further, ASICS has just the shoe for you
Now available in Malaysia at RM749, ASICS' newly launched GEL-NIMBUS™ 28 perfectly balances comfort with running performance. Runners can choose from a variety of colour options, ranging from striking green hues to gentle, pastel pink shades.
This iconic neutral cushioned running shoe returns in its 28th generation with meaningful updates that runners will actually feel on the road.
Here's why the GEL-NIMBUS 28 stands out:
1. It's lighter, so every run feels less draining
The GEL-NIMBUS 28 is over 20g lighter than the previous model, making a noticeable difference especially during longer runs. This weight reduction comes from updates to the outsole, upper, and heel design. This results in a smoother, more effortless running experience.
2. Cushioning that feels like you're running on actual clouds
At the core of the shoe is ASICS' FF BLAST PLUS cushioning, designed to deliver soft landings and smoother transitions with every step. It also features PureGEL under the heel, which is a softer and lighter version of ASICS' signature GEL technology that offers reliable shock absorption and helps protect your joints on hard surfaces.
3. Reliable grip without added bulk
The refined HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole maintains traction where runners need it most while keeping the shoe lightweight. Whether you're clocking kilometres around your neighbourhood or running through the park, the grip feels stable and confident.
4. Comfort and convenience in every step
The engineered knit upper remains breathable while offering a softer and lighter feel than before. Small but thoughtful updates like the new tongue loop construction make the shoe easier to slip on, while the cleaner eyelet loop design gives it a sleek and modern look.
Every detail of the shoe is refined to make moving easier and running more enjoyable, for both body and mind
Keita Ozawa, the developer of the Performance Running Footwear at ASICS said, "Our approach to the GEL-NIMBUS 28 shoe reflects ASICS' Kaizen philosophy, continually refining every detail to create better experiences for runners.
"Through thoughtful updates to the outsole, upper, and cushioning, the GEL-NIMBUS 28 shoe takes comfort to even greater heights. This process ensures that every runner can move both their body and mind with greater ease and enjoyment."
