Asics Gel Nimbus

Where Running Meets Flying

Everyone wishes they could be on Cloud 9 all the time, and with Asics GEL-Nimbus shoes, you can take a bit of cloud with you everywhere you go. The cushioning is so plush and comfortable that you feel as if you are walking on air, every step you take.

ASICS brought their cushioning A-game with these running shoes. They use a mixture of EVA foam and ASICS GEL-pads to provide a springy response for every step. The midsole contains two layers of EVA foam, one soft and squishy to bring the cloud-like comfort, while the other is firmer, still providing cushioning, yet also adding in a layer of much-needed support. The shoes would have been extremely comfortable with just those layers, but ASICS outdid themselves and added a layer of gel, increasing the shock absorption, and allowing the ASICS GEL-Nimbus to be some of the most cushioned shoes on the market.

However, just providing superior cushioning wasn’t enough for ASICS. They enhanced their shoe even more by adding a FluidFit upper. The upper consists of multidirectional stretch mesh to allow the foot to expand and flex naturally. It allows for a more natural run, while preventing harmful rubbing and blisters. It brings this shoe to the next level of running comfort by allowing more flexibility in your foot.

The impressive cushioning of these shoes makes them great for long distance runners. The constant pounding of footfall after footfall can be hard on your body, but with these shoes, your aches will disappear. The shock of the impact of a foot strike is absorbed into the GEL cushioning, allowing you to run longer and feel better. Not only that, but the EVA foam bounces back after impact, increasing the durability in these shoes, and allowing them to take on more miles for longer. However, the ASICS GEL-Nimbus shoes are not only great for long distance running, they are also a good fit for middle-distance running. The support given by these shoes allows for great speed, while still providing necessary comfort for your run.

If the GEL-Nimbus is not for you, ASICS has a wide variety of other running shoes that fit any type of runner. For the runner that needs stability, the ASICS GEL-Kayano is a favorite. It helps runners with a history of over pronation and helps to fix their stride. Another ASICS favorite is the GEL-Noosa. This shoe is perfect for triathlons to help you set a new personal record. For every runner, for every run, ASICS has the perfect fit for you, but for unparalleled comfort and a better time, try the ASICS GEL-Nimbus.
