Building off of the massive success that was the GEL-Nimbus Lite (version 1) the Nimbus Lite 2 gives you a softer underfoot feel lighter more responsive ride and an improved upper to take the necessary strides forward to make this into a future classic. You get more softer foam underfoot for extra cushion and stability and also cut down on the amount of outsole rubber needed (without compromising durability or grip). More recycled material is used in the upper and an improved fit is achieved through careful testing and crowd-sourcing. We love what ASICS has done here and encourage you to take a ride in the new and improved GEL-Nimbus Lite 2!
