Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 trainers are designed for female adult runners seeking maximum comfort and shock absorption on hard surfaces. Their key benefit is an exceptionally soft and cushioned ride, akin to running on a cloud, thanks to advanced PureGEL and FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam. A potential caveat is that the extreme softness may not suit runners who prefer a firmer, more responsive feel for speed training.

What is PureGEL technology?

Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit initially
The engineered knit upper will adapt to your foot shape over the first few runs. Wear them for shorter distances initially to break them in.
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
While ASICSGRIP™ offers improved traction, always exercise caution on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is free of debris.
Cushioning feels too soft for speed work
The Gel-Nimbus 26 is optimized for comfort and impact absorption. For faster running or racing, consider a lighter, more responsive shoe from the ASICS range.
Dirt accumulation on knit upper
Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid excessive scrubbing which could damage the knit fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
