ASICS MENS GEL-NIMBUS 24 RUNNING SHOES - BLUE
The GEL-NIMBUS™ 24 shoe offers advanced impact protection for your distance training. Creating a softer landing in every step, this shoe is also approx. 20g lighter than the previous version. The upper’s soft engineered mesh and flexible midfoot panel make these shoes more comfortable during long runs. By moving seamlessly with your foot, they help your stride feel smoother in every step. FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning keeps the shoe lightweight while providing a softer feeling underfoot. This material also helps increase the shoe's rebound properties at the toe-off stage.

Pronation
- Neutral
- Foot Type - Normal size arches
- Push Off - There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
- Considered Injuries - Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
- How your foot contacts the ground - The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
- Underpronation
- Foot Type - High arches
- Push Off - The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
- Considered Injuries - Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
- How your foot contacts the ground - The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
