US11(UK10,EUR 45,28.5cm) I was super excited for these to arrive because I love the Y2K Asics and their silhouettes. When I opened the box, the padding was immaculate, the gel bounced back when I pressed on it and the infamous mesh of the Asics brand was pristine.However, these fit small and the tag on the shoe actually said they 28.5cm (All my other US11s are 29cm). Like the other reviews, these run small in length and I was disappointed but I have ordered the 11.5s and I am as equally excited for them to come :)

DO NOT BUY - STAY AWAY! Cheaply made, unusual wear pattern. Pronation has caused injury. Bought two pairs of these thinking the 1st shoe was a fluke. I'm 5'5", female, 55 years old, weigh 120lbs. The heel tread started having extreme wear after only 3 miles. AT 8 miles, the heel tread was almost completely deteriorated. One specific area OF BOTH PAIRS of Nimbus started pulling away from the shoe. This shoe has caused pain and possible injury of my ankles, possibly torn ligaments - will know by tomorrow after I see the orthopedic surgeon. See my other review of the same shoe. YES, I was dumb enough to buy them TWICE! Asics said there is NO problem and there is no defect!

I purchased my sneakers direct from Asics on line after spending time looking for them 90s looks pumps I grew up with. I still think they look better than the new look solid sole sneakers. I love the design and colours of the 90s looks any day. I think somethings that already look good can not be improved . As for my gel nimbus 9 they fit like a glove and the comfort is second to none.

I think the nimbus 9 is a great sneaker, it currently is one of my favourites from Asics... in fact, it is one of my favourites sneakers from any brand ever, because of the great comfort and support, and because of the cool design and colourways. However, my last pair of these have some QC issues. The first two pairs I bought (a metallic one and a white one) were perfect, no issues at all. But this last pair (black) has many glue marks. Personally, it doesn't bother me too much (I still will wear these a lot), but I know many people do care a lot about this kind of issues.By the way, these fit a bit snug, specially in the toebox area. My TTS is men's 10 (for kayano 14, gel 1130, quantums 180 and 360, etc), but I prefer the nimbus 9 in 10.5 because I have more ... MoreI think the nimbus 9 is a great sneaker, it currently is one of my favourites from Asics... in fact, it is one of my favourites sneakers from any brand ever, because of the great comfort and support, and because of the cool design and colourways.

I once tried on the size 10 at the store, and I think I could get used to that snug fit, but I feel more secure with the 10.5 (my feet aren't wide at all, btw). I tell you this because some reviews and videos on the internet recommend going a whole size up, some even recommend a size and a half up, and I think that may be too much for some people, so beware.Overall, a very cool and comfy sneaker that I will keep wearing and buying in the next years. Cheers
Horrible experience. I had the sneakers shipped to a store location. When I opened the box, the sneakers had so many imperfections!!! From glue, scratched paint to loose threads! I didn’t take them, I returned them, in-store and left. I really wanted these sneakers, just disappointed that they were in such a bad condition.
Let me first just say that I've had the every iteration of Gel-Nibus since 4, and out of all iterations the 9 is probably my favorite. Is it as light and cushiony as the 23? No it's not, but I love this shoe. I like the stiffness of it and especially like the look of it. I am not a marathon runner, I'm a doctor and I am on my feet all day however. My feet feel great at the end of the day. I have a pair for work and the gym. Although I love the Gel Nimbus line, you won't catch me wearing the new 24. Those things are hideous looking. The remind me of the Sketchers weight lose shoes from a few years back. I know Asics made the 24 for the hardcore runner, because I can't imagine anyone buying those for the looks. So I'm thrilled that Asics brought back the 9 for people ... MoreLet me first just say that I've had the every iteration of Gel-Nibus since 4, and out of all iterations the 9 is probably my favorite.

Kudos. I'm actually going to buy a dozen pair of the 9 because I love them so much and I'm worried that the will discontinue it.
I am a long time Asics user for running and walking shoes and I would not buy any other brand. However, these shoes missed the mark in comfort. Style, they look great, but after two hours of wearing them, I could not wait to get them off. At this price point, I would expect the same great comfortable fit in sport style as in running shoes, especially since all I was doing was walking around in them.
This is my fourth pair of Gel Nimbus. The first three were great and I replaced them once a year. The soles of my last pair began sloughing away at the sides within two months and now the edges are so cleaved the sneakers are unwearable. Asics refuses to stand by their product and blames me (I wore all four pairs for the same activities). Needless to say, I will never buy Asics again.
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!
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.
