Asics GEL-NIMBUS 21 - Running Shoes - Women's - black/classic red

TECHNOLOGY:

 

ORTHOLITE®:  Engineered from open cell polyurethane, Ortholite soles retain 95% of their cushioning after one year of use, whereas ordinary soles lose 70% of their cushioning over the same time period. The Ortholite® sole is both lightweight and breathable. The air circulates, to help evacuate heat and moisture to keep the feet dry. The environmentally-friendly biocide treatment is antimicrobial and creates a healthier environment for the feet. The advantages of Ortholite® Open-Cell technology are: Durable cushioning Moisture management High level of breathability Easy to wash Antimicrobial Lightweight

 

SpEVA® Foam:  The improved version of the original EVA from ASICS. The sole improves the shoe's rebound and cushioning whilst reducing total weight, which provides runners with a more authentic run and improved comfort and performance.

 

FLYTEFOAM™ PROPEL: Light foam with TPA elastomer for a reactive take-off.

 

FLYTEFOAM™ LYTE: In this new version of FlyteFoam, kevlar and PET are replaced by cellulose microfibres that reinforce particle walls. The result is a foam that is 10% more durable and has 30% lower CO2 emissions during manufacture.

 

Medial Support System™: PU bands on the side of the midfoot are joined to the outsole for optimal support during ground contact.

 

>REARFOOT AND FOREFOOT GEL® CUSHIONING SYSTEM:  High performance Gel system absorbs shocks during impact and toe-off phases, so you can push as hard at the end of training as you do at the start 

 

GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC: Like all Trusstic systems it provides power and firmness to the midfoot. Trusstic Guidance provides measured stability and helps to transform impact energy in the push-off phase.

 

GUIDANCE LINE:  Line from heel to big toe follows the ideal stride. It adapts to each movement of the running cycle, guiding the foot throughout its natural power curve for an optimal rebound. The balance of changing pressure points guarantee a firm contact with the ground at all times.

 

3M® Reflective: Reflective materials for improved visibility at night and staying safe.

 

FluidRide 2.0: This technology combines comfort and lightness in a double density sole. The EVA layer provides 20% more rebound whilst the Solyte layer weighs 15% less, combining exceptional rebound with great shock absorption in a light shoe.

 

I.G.S. (Impact Guidance System) :  Technological innovation allows the most natural movement whilst perfectly supporting the foot's anatomy. Strategically placed flex grooves that guide the shoe so the foot trajectory can be closer to its ideal motion.

 

3D FULL CONTACT OUTSOLE:  This outsole construction covers the whole arch, ensuring spread contact with the ground at each phase of movement and on all terrains.

 

AHAR+:  High resistance rubber placed in key areas of the outsole to deliver even greater grip and durability.

Carbon content ensures abrasion-resistance, durability, flexibility and lightness.

 

Plus 3 Gender®:  This technology is only for ASICS women's shoes. It adds 3mm height to the ankle for a fit the reduces pressure on the achilles tendon, as the shapes of men's and women's achilles tendons are different.
