Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort in a trainer. Its key benefit lies in its plush cushioning and reliable support, drawing from 2000s-era running shoe design. A potential caveat is its specific aesthetic, which may not appeal to all modern fashion preferences. This shoe features a construction inspired by the original 2008 GEL-NIMBUS 10, incorporating the upper from that model with an asymmetric design. It utilizes dual-layer EVA foam and GEL technology inserts for enhanced comfort and support, along with the TRUSSTIC system for stability. The materials include mesh and synthetic overlays, contributing to a tech-inspired look.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1?
The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is inspired by the original 2008 GEL-NIMBUS 10 model, bringing back a classic 2000s-era runner aesthetic with modern comfort enhancements.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they feature running shoe design elements and cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. For high-performance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution with water and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
What does the TRUSSTIC system do?
The TRUSSTIC system provides midfoot support and stability, helping to control pronation (the inward rolling of the foot) and offering a more secure stride.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand wash using the care instructions provided.
What is the main difference between the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 and other ASICS trainers?
The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 stands out with its direct homage to a specific 2000s model, featuring a retro design and comfort-focused technology from that era, contrasted with more contemporary or performance-oriented designs of other ASICS lines.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or ASICS. The GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is available in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear.
Squeaking noise from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal components or moisture. Try lightly sprinkling baby powder inside the shoe or around the tongue area.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning foam and GEL inserts naturally compress with use. For prolonged comfort, consider their intended lifespan and avoid using them for activities beyond their design (e.g., intense running).
Materials showing wear prematurely
Ensure proper care and cleaning routines are followed. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture, heat, or abrasive surfaces.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 is designed as an adult unisex trainer. It is compatible with standard sock wear. While it draws from running shoe heritage, it is best suited for casual wear and light training activities.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your GEL-NIMBUS 10.1 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Wipe down the foam and rubber parts with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and moisture.
