Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 Trainers are designed for adult runners seeking a supremely soft and smooth running experience, akin to landing on clouds. While offering advanced cushioning and ventilation, a potential consideration is their suitability for faster paces where a more responsive feel might be preferred. Key features include a soft engineered knit upper for comfort and ventilation, FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning for a lighter, softer, and more environmentally conscious ride, and an ASICS®GRIP™ outsole for enhanced traction and durability.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26 suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the exceptional cushioning makes them very suitable for long-distance running, including marathons, providing comfort and reducing impact fatigue over many miles.
Can I use these trainers for gym workouts?
While they offer comfort, their design is optimized for running. For gym workouts, especially those involving lateral movements or weightlifting, dedicated cross-training shoes might offer better stability and support.
How much recycled material is used in the upper?
At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content to help reduce waste.
What is the main benefit of FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning?
It provides a lighter and softer cushioning experience with less of an environmental impact compared to traditional cushioning foams.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The shoe should feel snug but not tight, with no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions or light rain.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or constricting.
Ensure you have laced them correctly, not too tightly. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the engineered knit upper needs a brief break-in period.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
While ASICS®GRIP™ offers good traction, very slick surfaces can be challenging for any shoe. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris and consider that extreme conditions may require specialized footwear.
Discomfort after the first few runs.
New shoes, especially those with advanced cushioning systems, may require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially to allow them to adapt to your foot.
