Footwear giant ASICS introduces a new look at the revived GEL-NIMBUS 9 sneaker model that is set to launch later this month on June 23rd. The sneakers are essentially a modern update of the shoe that originally launched back in 2007, designed with contrasting bold palettes throughout the silhouette.
It is a staple running model that sits on top of a cushioned sole unit to fit comfortably with every stride. It has an upper that is constructed from a blend of mesh and synthetic leather for that retro design language nodding to the mid-2000s. The tonal palette of the retro shoe comes in Piedmont Grey and Aruba Blue, Rum Raisin and Green Sheen, Abbey Stone and Champagne, and Stonewash and Lint.
