Max Cushion2025-02-13 · JP · ReleaseChecked 2026-09-22

GEL-NIMBUS 27 is a neutral high-cushion trainer built for soft landings and comfort. ASICS adds about 2mm of midsole thickness over the previous model, pairing FF BLAST PLUS ECO with heel-mounted PureGEL. Engineered mesh with a knit tongue and collar wraps the foot softly, while HYBRID ASICSGRIP combines central ASICSGRIP with AHARPLUS at the toe and heel for traction and durability across daily and long runs.
