ASICS unveils another technical sneaker to its roster with the Gel Nimbus 10 silhouette following its predecessor. The cushioning running sneaker was first launched in 2008 and it is now joining the brand's Sportstyle series that is focused on fashion-forward designs.
The Gel Nimbus 10.1 now takes the original sneaker model and blends it with other elements of the brand's silhouettes. This includes the sole unit borrowed from its own Gel-Kayano 14 shoe which is another retro running shoe. It has a thick base foundation made from mesh to ensure it is still breathable before it is accented with silver overlays on top. GEL branding is detailed on the heel and the most notable touch is the paneling on one side.
