ASICS Gel-Nimbus 27 Review: The Clouds Are the Limit

My first foray into one of ASICS’ flagship pairs wasn’t until the 25th edition; it was love at first run. At the time, I had never run in such a comfy shoe, both underfoot and with its super-cozy upper. The shoe was a pleasure to run in, and pampered my tired legs during marathon training. But the pair fell out of favor, as more and more max cushion offerings entered the fray over the past couple years. Now that it’s back on my radar—and feet—after a brief hiatus, how has the ride of this max cushion shoe aged?

The Running Event: New Running Shoes I’m Excited for in 2024

Each year, running brands travel to Austin, TX to showcase their new running shoes to retailers at The Running Event. Oh, and they also display their new running apparel, but no one cares about clothing when there’s new shoes. The truth is, I’d be perfectly fine running in the same outfit for the rest of my life so long as I can continue buying a baker’s dozen or so new running shoes each year. Sure, my shorts will rip, my tops will tatter, my socks will get holes, and my skin will be exposed to the elements in the cruel winter months, but at least my feet will be comfy, right? But I digress. Here are the most exciting new running shoes I saw at The Running Event 2023.
