Asics release the special-edition GEL-Nimbus 20 Platinum

16:09 20/03/2018

One of the world’s leading running shoes is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a special Platinum Edition.

Asics’ GEL-Nimbus reaches the milestone this year and has commemorated the occasion with a special release of the shoe that has been a mainstay in the running market for the last two decades.

The shoe boasts a range of state-of-the-art features that are the brainchild of Asics experts at their very own Institute of Sport Science in Japan.

This edition of the GEL-Nimbus features electro-plated hits and revolutionary lightweight FlyteFoam cushioning.

The Nimbus caters to neutral runners of all levels. Its seamless, FluidFit upper stretches and adapts to your foot to give you a customized fit perfect for maintaining comfort on those long runs.

The Platinum has a distinctive colour plate on the back of the shoe giving it a special edition premium feel, but it is the build features of the shoe that provide the ultimate support for runners.

With a special heel-clutching system, and gel cushioning in the front and rear of the shoe, it’s clear comfort is paramount in the minds of designers.

Added to this gender specific cushioning in the midsole, with the female version of the shoe enjoying a lower-density top layer in the midsole, allowing female athletes to better enjoy the benefits of midsole compression.

The Asics GEL-Nimbus 20 Platinum is now available in the UAE with the rest of the GEL-Nimbus range.
