Layered mesh and synthetic leather upper Textile lining Segmented midsole design GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot improve cushioning and stability Rubber toe bumper and outsole Traditional lacing system Like a number of Asics sneakers, the GEL-NIMBUS 9 showcases an ever-in-demand mid-2000s aesthetic, largely due to the upper’s layered mesh and synthetic leather paneling. Initially designed as a distance trainer for neutral and supinated runners, the shoe is now a popular lifestyle option catering to daily use. Original materials and key details remain, as the GEL-NIMBUS 9 is outfitted with the brand’s GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot for improved cushioning and stability. Another standout feature emerges by way of a more segmented midsole design, which draws immediate attention to the silhouette.

My daughter has very toned muscles in her feet and it has been a struggle to find comfortable shoes. We have discovered Asics and have been a fan since that day! They look great and are very very comfortable. Never sore feet if you wear a pair of Asics. I also think that they look good on every age and that you can style them with whatever you like, you can keep it clean or outgoing. Anything goes. Love love them!!

I am a big fan of the Nimbus running shoe, and am currently wearing my 23s. I bought the Nimbus 9 in black/gunmetal for my job as a museum guard. After one shift in this shoes, my feet and ankles were screaming. The support in these shoes were not the same! I wish I could return them or at least exchange them. The Asics website refund policy is not as good as others, such as Zappos.

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

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.
I just got these because I really miss the old gel nimbus from 10 years ago. They don't feel quite as comfortable as I remember, but good nonetheless. I wish the colors were more old school, to go along with them...but such is life. Still happy I got them.As a side note...they 100% run small. Order a half size up for sure. I have always worn an 8 men's...but the 8.5 is almost too small. Glad I read the reviews on that fact.
The colors and the silhouette are both flawless! Most of the shoe has a shininess to it.. But it’s not too much. They are eye grabbers, but not at the expense of looking crazy. Super comfortable fits true size. I really can’t complain.
technological sneakers, they are so comfortable and stylish that you don’t want to take them off. Asics makes incredibly cool things. I will definitely buy again
Quality fit and pair. The style and colour stands out too. The fit was snug and I felt it might be a bit small, however, I do not need an extra insole as I have for other pairs my size.
These are the best trainers I've ever had. There no setting in, they are pure comfort from the first wear. I use them for casual as well as gym and they are second to none. Just love the design, look and feel of these. A true classic, i just dont know how you could improve on these and i hope that Asics as a company do not ever end the range of these as I will not be changine to anything else out there. If youve had a pair of these then you will know exactly what i am talking about. I would highly recommended these to anyone thinking of getting a solid all round trainer of this kind. My previous pair lasted 18 years and I still have them to this day, thats a testament to how good they are. Could simply not be happiers with these, rhey are the best trainers I've had ... MoreThese are the best trainers I've ever had. There no setting in, they are pure comfort from the first wear.
