One of the most popular cushioned running shoe series on today’s market is Asics’ GEL-Nimbus series. Their beloved well-cushioned, neutral trainer has recently gotten an upgrade: the Asics GEL-Nimbus 15.
For those of you who already love the Nimbus 14, you’ll be happy to hear that the GEL-Nimbus 15 has even more cushioning. The Nimbus 15 will have the new FluidRide Platform, which is a two-piece midsole design. The top layer is a blended rubber, made to maximize comfort. The bottom layer of the midsole is made from the more conventional non-blended rubber, which is lighter and more flexible, allowing the shoe to offer a more responsive ride.
The Nimbus 15 also boasts larger gel units in the heel and forefoot for better impact protection than the Nimbus 14.
Finally, the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 15 comes with a new FluidFit Upper which has multi-directional mesh and stretchable reinforcements. This should make the fit more biomorphic, more ergonomic and offer improved breathability.
The weight is slightly more for this shoe; however, we’ve heard that you can’t tell when you’re running.
Plus, the color selection is fantastic. We think the Nimbus 15 will be one of the most exciting new shoes this spring.

There’s a very sharp curve along the inside of your foot and your imprint shows a very thin band between your heel and toe. People with high arches typically don’t pronate enough.
I want to try before I buy…. Which stores might carry these?
Hi Amanda,

I’ve been buying the Nimbus series going back to the 11. Just got the 15’s the other day and really like them so far. It felt like they were already broken in on my first run!
Agreed, Barber. These are immense shoes with unbeatable cushion, good response and high quality upper materials. They breathe well too which is good for running 5 miles+ in the SoCal heat. A true Cadillac of a running shoe, I’m looking forward to my upcoming half marathon.
Good luck on your upcoming half marathon!!!
Thanks, Cara!
Did you run the half marathon yet? How did it go?
