Step into a soft and luxurious run with the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 26. What was one of the best running shoes of 2022 gets even better with a more supportive fitting engineered mesh upper and increased durability from a hybrid ASICSGRIP outsole. The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25 brought a modern look and feel to the Nimbus line with bouncy FF Blast+ ECO foam and a rocker-shaped platform for a soft smooth ride. If you loved that ?C and a whole lot of runners did ?C you’ll love the new GEL-Nimbus 26.

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

The ASICS GEL-Nimbus is a classic. reliable running shoe trusted by runners looking for a lot of cushion to keep their legs feeling fresh after every run. These running shoes are made for easy paces of all distances and are a great shoe for marathon training. Last year. the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25 revamped the line into a modern and sleek running shoe with the step-in feel and premium cushioning that have long made the Nimbus one of the most popular shoes in running. The new GEL-Nimbus 26 takes everything runners loved about the Nimbus 25 and wraps it in an engineered knit upper for a more supportive fit.

WHAT’S NEW:

By many accounts. the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25 was one of the best shoes of 2022. and good news: the GEL-Nimbus 26 mostly just tweeks the winning formula from the previous model. An updated tongue and engineered knit upper creates a softer fit with a more supportive hold around the midfoot. An FF Blast+ ECO midsole is slightly firmer than last year’s version and still delivers all the bounce runners loved about the Nimbus 25. Lastly. a new ASICSGRIP and AHAR+ outsole improves the traction and durability of the shoe.
