The Asics GEL-Nimbus 12 Women's Running Shoes have been one of the most popular running shoes available for the past 12 years. The Women's GEL-Nimbus 12 maintains the top-of-the-line cushioning found in previous Nimbus running shoes and offers a few strategic, evolutionary updates designed to keep the Nimbus one of the best running shoes out there.
The Women's GEL-Nimbus 12 features a plush, cushioned platform feel, along with a surprisingly stable ride. The 12th edition features an advanced asymmetrical lacing design that helps prevent irritation and provide a much more comfortable fit. The GEL-Nimbus 12 Women's Running Shoes are ideal for gait types ranging from under pronators to mild over pronators. Runners with high arches to normal arches will appreciate the structure and cushioning found in the GEL-Nimbus 12.
At the heart of the Women's GEL-Nimbus 12 is Asics Impact Guidance System, or I.G.S. The I.G.S. is a design philosophy adopted by Asics that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. The GEL-Nimbus is also equipped with Asics GEL Cushioning Compound found in the forefoot and rearfoot to help attenuate and absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases and allows movement in multiple planes. This provides superior comfort and cushioning for runners.
The GEL-Nimbus 12 Women's Running Shoes also feature a unique Guidance Line technology designed to provide enhanced gait efficiency. A vertical flex groove helps decouple the tooling along the line of progression to provide for enhanced gait efficiency. The Women's version of the GEL-Nimbus 12 features gender-specific technologies, including specific forefoot cushioning that's suited to a woman's body, as well as Asics "Plus 3" technology which helps add 3mm to the height of the shoe, alleviating achilles tension. The Women's-specific Space Trusstic System is also tailored specifically for women and features a midfoot stabilizer that allows for controlled midsole deformation and more efficient foot function.
The Women's GEL-Nimbus 12 also features unique Discrete Eyelets to help disperse lace tension and create a customized fit with enhanced upper comfort. The lightweight Solyte technology found in the midsole of the GEL-Nimbus 12 also provides superior cushioning and support for the foot. These shoes also employ Asics' P.H.F. or Personal Heel Fit technology which provides 2 layers of memory foam in the collar that conform to the athletes' heel for a customized, comfortable fit.
The Outsole of the Women's GEL-Nimbus 12 Running Shoes features DuraSponge technology for superior durability and cushioning, as well as Asics High Abrasion Rubber compound, which is placed in strategic areas of the outsole, to provide superior durability. The GEL-Nimbus 12 Women's Running Shoes also feature Biomorphic Fit technology, consisting of a stretch material strategically placed on the upper to help reduce buckling and the potential for irritation. These elite running shoes also feature a ComforDry Sockliner on the inside for improved cushioning performance as well as anti-microbial properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment..
The Women's Asics GEL-Nimbus 12 also features reflective properties on the outer of the shoe that help increase visibility in low-light conditions.
