Asics Gel Nimbus 22 Review: Introduction

The Asics Gel Nimbus 22 Running Shoes are comfortable, extra gel-cushioned, and padded. The extra padding added to the sole increases the weight of the shoe. The heel of the shoe has a gel cushioning system with high shock absorption.

The new forefoot gel technology of the shoe decreases the burden on your feet. The ride on the Flytefoam present in the midsole increase energy during the run. The ride on the Gel Nimbus 22 is stable, soft, durable, and well-cushioned for long miles run.

Upper

 The Upper of the Nimbus 22 is made of knitted mesh material which is lightweight and very breathable. The upper of the shoe feels soft and comfortable when you have a run on it. The gel nimbus 22 has a fit true to size on the feet.

The upper of the new version of the nimbus 22 is thoroughly updated from the last version of the shoe. It has enough space in the toe box for the runner’s toes. While running the upper of the shoe will be flexible, smooth, stable, and soft for the long miles run.

Midsole

The midsole of the gel nimbus 22 has gel in the forefoot and heel. It is made up of Flytefoam propel technology which provides cushioning on the feet. The midsole of the shoe is soft, smooth, and well-cushioned.

There is a Guidance Line technology in the midsole of the shoe that provides efficiency and flex grooves. The midsole of the shoe also has a TRUSSTIC system that provides you stability and smoothness. The ride on the midsole of the shoe is cushioned, soft, and smooth for the long mile run.

Outsole

The Asics gel nimbus 22 running shoe has an outsole made of rubber. The rubber of the shoe is named the Asics High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) which is considered to be a highly durable material. It reduces the impact on your feet and absorbs the shock.

The outsole of the shoe has a good grip on the road, whether it is rough or wet. It protects the shoe from slippage on the wet road. The flexibility of the gel nimbus 22’s outsole in the forefoot increased from the previous nimbus 21 version of the shoe. It gives the rider a smooth, flexible and durable ride.

Fit

The Gel Nimbus 22 is true to size in terms of fit, and I say that as someone with fairly broad feet. Although, if you have the opportunity, I usually recommend trying them on in a store to be sure. This brand is frequently marketed as a cushioned everyday trainer.

It’s not cushy in the sense that you can sink into it like a cloud. Instead of being overly cushioned, it delivers a sturdy, steady ride for those long distances, ensuring you don’t strain your low back like you could with a highly soft shoe.
