The complete Asics Gel-Nimbus lineage
The Gel-Nimbus is Asics's premium neutral cruiser and the Kayano's softer sibling. Like the Kayano, it was rebuilt from scratch in 2023: the Nimbus 25 traded the firm, structured ride of the earlier versions for a tall, plush max-cushion platform. Reviewers cheered, part of the old guard walked, and this page tracks both eras version by version.

- Which Asics Gel-Nimbus should I buy?
- New to the line: buy the Gel-Nimbus 28. If you loved the way this line rode before the Gel-Nimbus 25 changed its character in 2023, the Gel-Nimbus 24 was the last version of the old ride, and remaining stock is the only way to get it.
