ASICS Gel Nimbus 24

The ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 has burst onto the scene with significant improvements to maintain its privileged position among the best-selling running shoes on the market.

The main trademark characteristics of this top-of-the-range trainer remain the same: a running shoe that offers an exceptional level of cushioning, accompanied by a superior degree of comfort for running intermediate and long distances in each workout.

If you are already accustomed to the performance offered by this legendary ASICS series as a daily training shoe, this new evolved ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 will continue to win you over with its focus on the following:

• Increased shock absorption capacity, with maximum soft cushioning in each stride which translates into a higher degree of protection.
• Upgraded foam in the midsole to make the model more responsive.
• Improved fit: The fit has been refined not just in terms of performance, but it has also undergone some subtle aesthetic improvements to provide a premium quality look.

What's new in the ASICS Gel Nimbus 24?

It goes without saying that all the improvements incorporated in the new version of the ASICS Nimbus 24 aim to make it the lightest, softest and most reactive model that the Japanese brand's product designers have created so far in one of their most successful series for road running.

The most important new feature is located in the midsole. The ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 continues to innovate with the addition of the evolved and exclusive FlyteFoam Blast + compound, which replaces the efficient FlyteFoam Propel. The clue is in the name, because "Blast +" means that the Nimbus 24 is even more reactive than the previous version. It is worth noting that FlyteFoam Blast foam is also used in top, more durable models that improve their responsiveness - such as the ASICS Novablast 2 and ASICS Dynablast 2, among others.

Like the ASICS Gel Nimbus 23, this renewed ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 still features the essential GEL system. This exclusive silicone gel base, incorporated in the heel area, helps to reinforce the enhance the high cushioning feeling, increasing shock absorption. The Trusstic technology is also included to provide the necessary support and stability for every kilometre you run. So are we talking about a running shoe for neutral-gait runners? Yes, of course, the Nimbus is the standard for neutral-gait runners, but it can also meet the needs of runners with mild or moderate overpronation - not to tread on the toes of the iconic ASICS Gel Kayano stability shoes.

The upper of the ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 opts for an open engineered mesh construction, which provides breathability, but also improves the support and fit of the trainer to the runner's foot, as ensured by the FluidFit system which has been added for a more personalised fit.

Let's not forget the Ortholite X insole, which reinforces both cushioning and comfort.

For its part, the outsole of the Nimbus 24 is equipped with the ASICS LITE compound, the brand's trademark. This is a very significant detail, because this material is incorporated in the most strategic points of the model, which are more exposed to abrasion. This means better traction and grip, as well as a longer lifespan. In addition, as it is made from recycled materials, so the trainer is now more sustainable.

Technical specifications of the ASICS Gel Nimbus 24

Compared to the ASICS Gel Nimbus 23, the ASICS Gel Nimbus 24 is a lighter option, weighing 309 grams in the men's version (265 grams in the women's version). It is also important to point out that there are no significant changes in the shape of the shoe. The heel and forefoot heights are the same, resulting in a standard 10-millimetre drop.

In addition, ASICS point to a changing trend, because the new Nimbus 24 model has arrived on the market in a wide range of colours for the runner to not only run in style, but also with the best performance and reliability.

But if there is something that stands out about the ASICS Gel Nimbus 24, it is that it is a very reliable and durable running shoe for practically any type of runner. Especially for those who are looking for a model with maximum cushioning and comfort to cover large volumes of kilometres in their weekly training sessions.
