The GEL-NIMBUS 9 sneaker was initially designed as a distance trainer for neutral and supinated runners. First released in 2007, this shoe resurfaces with original materials and key accent details. Its industrial look from the Y2K era is also offset with bold contrast and color blocking. With GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot, this tooling helped create better cushioning and more stable step.

Cute sneakers, just like photo. I’ve gotten a number of compliments in the first few wears. I did order a half size up as many reviews recommended and I don’t think that was necessary. They’re a little loose but still work for me. These are certainly comfortable but not quite “running sneaker” level. I’ll be wearing for style, comfort, and weight training- and I’m satisfied with that.

DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE!!! Heel wore down after 3 miles, shortly after that the entire shoe tred started flattening out. One particular area in the tred started pulling away from the shoe. I called Asics, they said nothing was wrong with it. Literally after 15 miles, the shoe was so worn down it started giving me ankle issues. Bought another pair, thinking maybe I got a bad pair. Nope, EXACT same thing happened. I called and emailed Aspics again, they said there is nothing defective with this shoe.

It's been a journey trying to find the right sneakers for me! Happy to say I've arrived with these ones. Alot of sneaker sizes mean I'm in between sizes but not with asics. Also, I prefer to avoid leather. And I am wanting comfort. A tall order. These have delivered on all fronts. Plus they look good on my feet.

No complaint from this shoe as it pretty much ticks all the boxes that you would think before buying it. And I really need to highlight that this model is actually true to size and by no mean should anyone size up or down. I read the other review and ordered half a size up. And now I am having to return and re-order in my true size.
Really loved it, I have plantar fasciitis and really struggle with long walks. This was a great choice, super comfy and supportive for the foot. Plus it's pretty and works well for sport and social!
The sixth pair of ASICS. As satisfied as always but this pair is the crown jewel so far. Really comfortable. And beautiful! Fit right away and already felt as comfortable as a worn pair when I first went out wearing them... the whole day! So worth the money.Am 37.5 in size strictly, always fit just well with size 38 with ASICS. My experience is ASICS tends to be very accurate with size in order to generate a decent wrapping effect for a better workout experience. They might feel a bit tight at first, but they always become fit and comfortable overtime soon. So I'd advise to buy your usual size. Highly recommend this pair!
Luckily I spoke to Katie (an angel in disguise) who arranged my return of the shoes and a refund.So friendly and great customer service. Great work Katie! Ended up buying another style as none of my size left. Bought Novablast 4 and very very happy with shoes. Very comfortable. Purchased for walking. Normally size 9.5 in previous Asics now 10.5 in new styles.
I looked at other reviews and it was said to size down. I went with my normal sizing (woman’s 9) and they fit perfectly.They look so good on and very comfortable! Love them!
This is my third pair of Nimbus 9 runners! They are so comfy, I wear them casually, walking and to the gym if I’m wait training or doing low impact stuff.They look good with activewear as well as jeans and casual outfits. The colours are cute and they’re very 2000s chic.I wear the same size as I wear in all ASICS runners (I also wear the new nimbus range for cardio/high impact). I’m a size 10/41 in normal shoes but wear an 11 in ASICS runners.
I was very skeptical about these shoes only because I’m a first time buyer. But I listened to my guy and ordered them. Once I took a look at them I could not believe how amazing they look. The material is very rain friendly and very comfortable you wear them. I didn’t even feel like taking them off when wearing them haha! These shoes are amazing, the quality of the shoes and details added in these shoes are outstanding. As a first time customer, I’m absolutely pleased with shoes. Delivery took overall 4 days but it was very quick. They email you everything and reassure you with tracking codes and everything you need. I definitely will come back & recommend.
