The GEL-NIMBUS 9 sneaker, initially released in 2007, has made a comeback with its original materials and key accent details. This shoe embodies the industrial aesthetic popular in the Y2K era but adds bold contrast and color blocking for a contemporary touch. Originally designed as a distance trainer for neutral and supinated runners, the GEL-NIMBUS 9 reflects Asics' evolution in performance footwear. One notable change is the adoption of a segmented midsole design. This updated design incorporates GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot, resulting in improved cushioning and a more stable step.
