The Asics Gel-Nimbus 27 is taking plush and cushioned to new levels. Literally in foam stack height, but also in the thought they continue to put in to this shoe. The shoe that was once voted a runner favorite, so what do we think about this mega max shoe?
I really wanted to picture the 26 next to the new 27, but I couldn’t find it. This says a lot about how many shoes I’ve been running in and I’m kind of embarrassed…but not enough to stop. Because it’s SO FUN to compare all the different cushions and see what changes from year to year.
This is one of the biggest shoe stacks we’ve tested and it feels like it (Brooks Glycerin Max is higher). The shoe feels like a max shoe. I mean they only added about 2mm to the shoe, but it just looks like a chunk and yet, the weight is far less than you’d expect!
After finishing my last 8 mile easy run, I had to come jot down thoughts for you immediately!
There isn’t a single ideal running shoe that suits every runner, so our goal is always to share the pro’s the con’s and help you decide if the update is a win for your training.
