Asics SportStyle launches Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneaker
Mumbai: Asics SportStyle has launched the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneaker. It’s based on the original Gel-Nimbus 10 design from 2008 but reconfigured with an updated tooling system for everyday comfort.
Iconic details, like the asymmetric paneling and open mesh construction from the model’s original design return on the upper. This design direction was originally meant to create a more accommodating fit and complement the foot’s natural bone structure. The quarter mesh application is also met with a seamless mesh panel that’s rendered with a unique geometric pattern.
In the mid to late 2000s, Asics running shoes started using segmented midsole designs with industrial-like aesthetics. The tooling system for this sneaker retains this signature structure, featuring a dual-layer EVA foam, rearfoot and forefoot Gel technology inserts, and a Trusstic support unit. These elements help create a combination of cushioning and stability for better comfort in everyday scenarios.
The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneakers will be unveiled on Asics SportStyle online and in select stores for Rs 13,999.
