The Asics Gel Nimbus 12 is the shoes which have a huge following of dedicated runners who love to change their shoes model after model and year after year. The reason for such a huge following is the amazing, soft cushioning one get by using these shoes. The cushioning is the result of the use of Gel technology. The goblets of Asics’ trademark silicone gel gets inserted in the midsole in the forefront as well as the heel area , just like the Nike shoes with Air inserts. Another feature which contributes to cushioning of the shoes is the use of Solyte foam for midsole.

Another feature of Asics Gel Nimbus 12 is that it mixes its cushioning elements with few support features/guidance. This is very important, because shoes with so much of cushioning and absolutely no support can incentivize an incorrect gait. The shoes have a wider base to offer more stability. It has decoupled heel which is nowadays, a standard solutions on the premium running shoes as it offers a right amount of shock absorption only when it is required. The heel is 3mm high in women version that relieve stress on achille’s.

A strong feature of Nimbus is Space Trusstic System (which is an Asics’ name for Transition Bridge), plastic shank which embraces midsole under arch and offers torsional stability between the forefront and the heel, to avoid foot twisting. The Asics Trusstic system, rather than being on medial side takes only under-arch area of midsole and is built of solid plastic compound. This feature is engineered specifically for men as well as women in different versions. A new feature in Asics gel nimbus 12 guidance line: vertical flex groove, extending from the heel to the toe, which guides foot during gait.
