The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 is a max cushioned daily trainer designed for comfort. It has a soft, smooth and surprisingly stable ride that's comfortable and easy on the legs. The previous version Nimbus 26 had a firmer feel and was more capable of picking up the pace, but this is more at home for relaxed miles like the two-generations-ago Nimbus 25. If you're looking for a dedicated recovery run day shoe or casual shoe with a pillowy feel, the Nimbus 27 is a great choice. For runners who want maximum comfort but don't like the idea of a squishy platform, we recommend the Hoka Bondi 9.
