AfterPay Available - 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 colour blocking. With GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot, this tooling helped create better cushioning and more stable step.

I was super excited to get them! Amazing look on feet but run super small .. do not run true to size at all .. I ordered a size 12 and it fits like a 10.5 .. I’d recommend going a full size up maybe even a size and a half if you have wide feet .. the cushioning in the back forces your foot to sit more forward eliminating any space you think you’ll have in the toe box. Great looking shoe, comfortable but sizing is very misleading. Super disappointed about that. Not to mention that the brand is finally getting its flowers and is over hyped. My size is sold out so now I’m stuck with the size 12 .. would love to see ASICS keep up with the demand !

This is the worst shoe I've ever worn by ASICS. The shape and sizing of my shoes was full of flaws. I bought my normal size but that didn't stop the shoes from creating horrible blisters on the top and sides of my feet, my feet feel like he'll after wearing them, I've relaced maybe 6 times and nothing changes. Now I just get added areas of blisters and discomfort. I'll never wear these, the shape is defective, not made considering the foot shape of those of us in larger sizes

Honestly these are such a light, airy, and comfy shoe. Great for walking and can comfortably wear them for extended periods of time. Very true to size!

I was so excited to finally be able to cop an ASICS drop! And the shoes did not disappoint! Very comfortable and stylish sneaker literally goes with everything.
I recently purchased the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 9, and I have to say, they truly live up to the comfort promise. From the moment I put them on, I could feel the difference in support and cushioning compared to other shoes I’ve tried
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.
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.
Not what I expected and very disappointed. These shoes hurt the outside of my legs and felt like I had shinsplints. I was so excited when these came out but ended up sending all 3 pairs back. They are a men's shoe, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the fit.
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.
