When designing the new GEL-Nimbus® 17, ASICS opted for a little more revolution than evolution. Serious weight reduction takes center stage, with a nearly seamless FluidFit® upper that fits and feels like a runner’s dream. The new FluidRide® midsole and extended Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Cushioning Systems improve upon the already famously plush and luxurious ride. Nothing but the best would do underfoot, thus a new top-of-the-line ComforDry™ X-40 Sockliner sits atop new full-length ComforDry™ lasting for the ultimate in cushioning and comfort.
- - FluidRide® provides the ultimate combination of bounce back and cushioning properties with reduced weight and exceptional durability.
- - Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
- - ASICS FluidFit™ upper technology combines multi-directional stretch mesh with stretch reinforcements that adapt to the athlete's foot, creating a truly customized glove-like fit.
- - Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment.
- - The use of seamless materials reduces the potential for irritation and friction caused by traditional stitches and seams.
- - Independently placed eyelets disburse lace tension, creating a customized fitting environment and enhanced upper comfort.
- - Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
- - This Trusstic System® integrates Guidance Line® construction for enhanced gait efficiency while providing midfoot structural integrity.
- - This lasting material features plush underfoot comfort while providing excellent moisture management, high level breathability, and anti-microbial properties.
- - This premium sockliner features higher rebound properties while providing excellent moisture management, high-level breathability, and anti-microbial properties.
