ASICS Women's Gel-Nimbus 24 Running Shoes

The origin of this product is either made in the USA or imported. The sole material is made of rubber, while the outer material comprises mesh and rubber. The closure type is lace-up.

The engineered mesh upper wraps the foot with a soft feel, enhancing breathability. The ASICS LITE rubber used in the outsole is lighter, stronger, and more sustainable than standard outsole rubbers. The AHAR outsole rubber improves durability.

The Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning System attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. The Trusstic System technology reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.

The knit tongue construction comfortably wraps the foot, providing a softer and more supportive feel across the top of the foot. The FF BLAST PLUS cushioning keeps the shoe lightweight while providing a softer feeling underfoot.

The product is designed for road surfaces and has a 13mm heel drop. The weight of the shoe is 247g/8.7oz, and it is categorized as a neutral shoe with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is a foot condition where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. This results in pressure on the outer toes during push-off, leading to potential issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with this foot type typically have high arches.

In contrast, a neutral foot type is where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. The push-off experience is even distribution from the front of the foot, and this foot type is less prone to injuries due to effective shock absorption, although it is not immune to them. Individuals with this foot type have normal-sized arches.

Overpronation is a condition where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. This results in pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe during push-off, leading to potential issues like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with this foot type typically have low arches or flat feet.

The shoe offers different key benefits: stability, comfort, energy return, and racing. The stability option provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. The comfort option prioritizes cushioning for soft landings and impact absorption, maintaining comfort on longer runs. The energy return option offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, providing energy return that propels the user forward. The racing option has a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts.
