When designing the new GEL-Nimbus® 17, ASICS opted for a little more revolution than evolution. Serious weight reduction takes centre stage, with a nearly seamless FluidFit® upper that fits and feels like a runner’s dream.

FluidFit

The newly developed 2nd stage of the FluidFit technology works with a 2-layer, bi-elastic Engineered Mesh upper material with incorporated additional taping.

This improves the fit and reduces pressure in the main areas while increasing grip and stability in the shoe throughout the entire motion sequence.

FluidFit provides a new comfort, a tighter fit, and more individual adjustment while running. The shoe reacts individually to even the smallest movements of the foot.

This construction is complemented by reinforced, highly elastic strips which make the system even more effective and helps the shoe reacts individually to even the smallest movements of the foot.

Adaptable, dynamic comfort through stretch mesh inserts

FluidRide

An evolution in Asics midsole technology, FluidRide provides the ultimate combination of bounce back and luxurious cushioning properties with reduced weight and exceptional durability.

The FluideRide system consists of two perfectly coordinated components; the combined midsole construction from SpEVA and Solyte materials which is very light and highly regenerative and the placement of decoupled GEL™ cushioning elements in the front and rearfoot areas of the shoe.

Both components are integrated into the IGS™ system and work together to ensure a whole new universal adaptability in relation to the surface, the foot, and the running style.

Interaction of two light, regenerative materials

Universal adaptability to surface, foot, and running style

Lightweight, responsive cushioning

Additional Technology:

---

Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Cushioning System

Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

---

Removable Sockliner

EVA sockliner moulded to the shape of the foot, which can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic.

---

Trusstic System

Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoes.

---

Guidance Line

Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.

---

Clutch Counter

Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment.

---

AHAR+

New blown AHAR outsole material. Delivers enhanced cushioning, durability and ride to the foot.
