Asics SS12 Gel Nimbus 13 Mens Running Shoes

The new GEL-NIMBUS 13 is the lightest version of the shoe ever, yet provides the most comfortable and cushioned ride for both neutral and under-pronators. The GEL-NIMBUS 13 features a new Guidance Line which encourages the foot to follow the most efficient line of progression, while its Asymmetrical Lacing Design and Personal Heel fit all work to ensure a glove-like fit. The strategically placed stretch material of the Biomorphic Fit Upper - on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation. An improved heel fitting environment and support is given by the exoskeletal heel counter.

I.G.S. (IMPACT GUIDANCE SYSTEM) - ASICS design philosophy in which the individual components of the shoe work together resulting in a more comfortable step and an improved gait.
REARFOOT AND FOREFOOT GEL CUSHIONING SYSTEMS - Silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the sole which dampens shock when the foot hits the ground allowing for a smooth movement through the step and reducing the risk of injury.
P.H.F. (PERSONAL HEEL FIT) - Memory foam lining the heel collar and tongue creating a personalised fit around the ankle.
SOLYTE MIDSOLE MATERIAL - Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.
X-40 COMFORDRY SOCKLINER - Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning with anti-microbial properties keeping the foot drier and healthier.
FULL LENGTH GUIDANCE LINE - Vertical flex groove in the sole running from heel to toe which encourages a more efficient running style.
HEEL CLUTCHING SYSTEM - Lightweight heel counter on the outside of the upper which provides improved support and fitting around the heel.
ASYMMETRICAL LACING DESIGN - Lacing which follows the natural curve of the foot giving a better fit and reducing the potential for irritation.
BIOMORPHIC FIT UPPER - Stretchy material strategically placed on the upper which reduces bunching when the shoe moves reducing the risk of blisters and irritation.
DISCRETE EYELETS - Independently placed eyelets where the laces pass through the upper which disburse lace tension improving fit and reducing possible irritation.
SPACE TRUSSTIC SYSTEM - Plastic bridge under the arch with a pocket between it and the midsole which improves flexibility and gives the shoe strength and stability.
