Features
The men's ASICS GEL-Nimbus Lite 2 gives you lightweight cushion for miles and miles of comfort.
ASICS packed the Nimbus Lite 2 full of FlyteFoam cushioning technology for a soft and bouncy ride. For an even softer landing, designers included ASICS’ signature GEL technology in the heel and forefoot.
Much of the mesh upper is made with recycled materials, which diverts waste from landfills while maintaining the breathable performance you demand from your shoes.
With a sole designed for full ground contact, the men's ASICS GEL-Nimbus Lite 2 delivers a stable ride and smooth transitions every step of your run.
