ASICS Gel-Nimbus 18 18 years of Innovation Fluidfit Seamless Upper The latest addition to the Nimbus series continues to cement the Nimbus as one of ASICS' most recognized high performance shoes. The new GEL placement has been informed by specialist research, and is strategically positioned in a new location to offer increased cushioning and shock absorption, and help to improve the GEL's adaptability and mitigate brisk impacts. Improved Guidance Line technology harmoniously syncs components to embrace the motions of the runner's gait cycle. Fluidfit Seamless Upper The GEL-Nimbus' upper is extremely lightweight and comfortable, thanks to its seamless design. The upper construction also utilises Asics' FluidFit technology, which combines multi-directional stretch mesh with stretch reinforcements that adapt to the wearer's foot, creating a truly customised glove-like fit for the wearer for added comfort and performance. The mesh panels allow fresh air to penetrate the outer to keep the wearer's feet cool, dry and comfortable. The Comfordry X-40 Sockliner offers increased comfort, as well as moisture wicking qualities. It helps to draw moisture away from the wearer's skin and facilitate its evaporation. Both the Comfordry X-40 sockliner and the mesh panels therefore work in tandem to maintain a comfortable internal environment. The upper also features supportive structures. The FluidFit mesh panels offer support, while an Exoskeletal heel counter cradles the heel to provide improved support and create an improved heel fitting environment. This helps to minimise chafing and the energy lost during movement. Additional memory foam works in unison with the heel counter to securely hug the Achilles to provide extra comfort and stability within the shoe. Independently placed eyelets disperse lace tension, creating a customized fitting environment and enhanced upper comfort. Fluidride Midsole The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 18's midsole features Fluidride
