"The ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 is a comfortable, firmer-than-average, max-cushioned trainer. Version 28 is significantly lighter than version 27 however, it has the same FF Blast+ midsole that lacks energy return considering its high price. This is the best Nimbus version to date but I crave more excitement and more liveliness whenever I run in it. Daily training Long distance racing"
"These days, max-cushioned trainers above 300 grams (10.6 oz) just don't cut it. Recently, we've been led to believe that lighter is always better, even when it comes to training shoes. Heavy shoes are a thing of the past. At its heaviest, the Nimbus 12 (launched in 2010) weighed 345 grams (12.1 oz) for a men's US 9. Most of the weight came from the dense gel, the rigid plastic pieces under the arch and the thick, synthetic leather overlays."
The ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 is a comfortable, firmer-than-average, max-cushioned daily trainer weighing 281 grams for a men's US 9. Weight reductions came from a lighter upper, reduced outsole rubber, and a sculpted midsole, making it 24 grams lighter than version 27. The shoe uses the FF Blast+ midsole, which provides cushioning but lacks lively energy return. The ride feels firmer than other recent maximalist trainers like the New Balance 1080v15 and Nike Vomero Premium. The Nimbus 28 is more competitive in weight than past Nimbus models but remains heavier than some rivals and is priced at $170.
