GEL™ Technology Inserts: Strategically placed in both the front and back of the shoe, GEL™ technology offers superior shock absorption, protecting your joints and improving stride efficiency.
TRUSSTIC™ System: This stability feature helps maintain the shoe's structural integrity and prevents excessive twisting of the foot, offering enhanced support for a more stable run or walk.

The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is engineered to excel in scenarios demanding high comfort and reliable support. For long-distance training, the combination of dual-layer EVA foam and forefoot/rearfoot GEL™ technology provides a plush, responsive ride that significantly reduces impact fatigue. Runners will notice sustained comfort mile after mile, making it easier to maintain pace and focus on their performance.
The TRUSSTIC™ system is particularly beneficial for maintaining foot stability during repetitive motion, preventing unwanted twisting and ensuring a smoother transition through each stride. This translates to reduced strain on the foot and ankle, promoting better biomechanics over extended runs.
Beyond athletic pursuits, the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 serves as an excellent everyday shoe. Its comfort features make it suitable for long walks, standing for extended periods, or simply enjoying casual wear. The asymmetric mesh upper not only contributes to its distinctive look but also provides excellent ventilation, keeping feet cool and comfortable even during prolonged use in various climates. The durable rubber outsole ensures dependable traction, providing confidence on diverse urban and light trail surfaces.
Example scenarios:
A runner preparing for a marathon will appreciate the consistent cushioning and support on long training runs.
An individual who spends hours on their feet at work will benefit from the sustained comfort and stability.
Someone seeking a stylish, comfortable sneaker for daily errands or casual outings will find its retro appeal and performance ideal.
Your ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 shoes are ready to wear right out of the box. As a lace-up model, simply adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit that supports your foot without constriction. Ensure your heel is firmly seated in the heel counter before tightening the laces.
Foot Type: These sneakers are specifically designed for neutral and supinating runners. This means they provide cushioning and support for feet that roll inward minimally (neutral) or roll outward excessively (supinate) during gait. If you are an overpronator (foot rolls inward excessively), you may require a shoe with more specific stability features.
Usage: Ideal for long-distance running, walking, and general everyday wear.
Proper care extends the life and performance of your shoes:
Cleaning: For general dirt, gently wipe the mesh upper and synthetic leather overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush.
Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers) as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes to absorb odors.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags as this can trap moisture.
Material Specifics: The combination of leather and synthetic leather materials means avoiding full submersion in water. Focus on spot cleaning to maintain the integrity of the materials.
