Introducing the ASICS GEL-Nimbus
The ASICS GEL-Nimbus is a flagship long-distance running shoe from ASICS, designed for neutral runners seeking plush cushioning over extended distances.
Its origins date back to 1999, when the first Nimbus debuted as a premium comfort sneaker featuring generous GEL cushioning in the heel, a breathable upper, and a ride focused on softness and comfort. Modern iterations include technologies such as FlyteFoam and FlyteFoam Propel in the midsole for lightweight responsiveness, upgraded mesh or knit uppers for improved breathability and fit, and enhanced GEL units for more evenly distributed impact protection.
Nimbus shoes are recognised for their sleek, smooth silhouette, well-padded heel counter, pronounced midsole cushioning geometry, and a midsole/outsole combination that balances grip, durability, and comfort across varied surfaces.
