A sneaker model that takes the best of Y2K fashion, or the fashion of the noughties. The industrial silver elements that give the sneakers their form are mostly found in combination with soft, breathable panels on the upper. This makes this original running shoe great for everyday "traffic", which it manages to make highly enjoyable with the help of several gel capsules sophisticatedly stacked along the entire length of the midsole. Put on the Asics Gel-Nimbus 9, a sneaker designed for people who need to move fast during the day with the support of the heavenly comfort of GEL technology.
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
GEL™: A cushioning gel that provides comfort, reduces the impact on the heel and protects against otherwise unnecessary injuries.
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
Healthy body, healthy mind. That is the hidden message in the Asics brand name, which is an acronym for an old Latin proverb. The original Asics sneakers featured the Onitsuka Tiger branding, which refers to the founder Kihachiro Onitsuka. These days, the sneakers are branded with the well-known "a."
Asics sneakers have long been perceived by the public only as high-quality running shoes. But the hidden potential of Japanese design has only reached its full potential at the end of the last decade. That's when the very successful Asics Gel-Kayano 5 sneakers started to gain popularity. It's not just this silhouette though, the Asics Gel-Kinsei sneakers have entered the fashion world in full force too, and they plan to play the highest league in the 2020s.
