ASICS Men's Gel-Nimbus 26 Running Shoe

The engineered knit upper of this product wraps the foot in a soft, plush feel. At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content to reduce waste and carbon emissions. The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by around 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technology.

The HYBRID ASICSGRIP Outsole Rubber creates better traction, improved softness, and advanced durability. The PureGEL Technology provides shock absorption and soft landings.

This shoe is designed for road use and has an 8mm heel drop. It weighs 304g/10.7oz and is a neutral, maximum cushion shoe.

Underpronation: For those whose foot contacts the ground with an increased angle on the outside of the heel and minimal pronation, leading to shock on the lower leg. This type tends to experience pressure on the outer toes during push-off and may be prone to plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches often exhibit this foot type.

Neutral Foot Type: The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact. Push-off is even across the front of the foot. This foot type is less likely to experience injuries due to the effective shock absorption, though it is not impossible.

Overpronation: The foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. Push-off is mostly experienced on the big toe and second toe. This foot type may be prone to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit this foot type.

The shoe offers different levels of protection, comfort, and energy return for various running needs:

Stability: Provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Similar shoes include the GT-1000 and TRABUCO CUSHION.

Comfort: Prioritizes cushioning for soft landings and impact absorption, helping to maintain comfort on longer runs. Similar shoes include the GEL-PULSE and TRABUCO MAX BOUNCE.

Energy Return: Offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel with energy return to propel the runner forward. Similar shoes include the SUPERBLAST and DYNABLAST SPEED.

Racing: Delivers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping to conserve energy when every second counts. Similar shoes include the METASPEED and MAGIC SPEED.
