Nimbus 28 vs Cumulus 28 – Is the Upgrade Still Worth It?

Today we’re comparing the ASICS Gel Nimbus 28 vs Gel Cumulus 28, two neutral running shoes that have become much closer than ever after their latest updates. Check the latest prices on Amazon below: Asics Gel-Nimbus 28: Mens: https://geni.us/skucY Womens: https://geni.us/M0Gm9 Asics Gel-Cumulus 28 Mens: https://geni.us/1eu4Ku Womens: https://geni.us/52zisDR Get my monthly shortlist of the best walking & running shoes (plus real sales worth grabbing): https://flawless-shoe-reviews.kit.com/newsletter While both now share an 8 mm drop, the feel underfoot, cushioning setup, weight, and geometry are still very different — which matters whether you’re using them for running, walking, or all-day wear. In this video, I break down how the Nimbus 28’s higher stack, stiffer forefoot, and more protective ride compares to the lighter, bouncier, and more flexible feel of the Cumulus 28, and why more cushioning isn’t always the better option. I also cover stability, rocker design, upper fit, and how each shoe performs for walking, standing, easy runs, recovery runs, and longer distances — including which shoe works better if you prefer more ground contact versus more protection. Historically, these two models were easy to separate, but the Cumulus 28 update changes that conversation completely. Links to both shoes are in the description if you want to check current prices on Amazon, and let me know in the comments which one you’d choose and why. ___________________________________________________________________ FIND ME ON: SUBSCRIBE – ⁨@james_mccormack⁩ INSTAGRAM – https://www.instagram.com/flawless_shoe_reviews/ CONTACT – hello@james-mccormack.com ✉️ Love shoe reviews like this?
