ASICS could very well trot out the GEL-Kayano 14 and GEL-1130 until the end of the tech runner wave, but the Japanese brand has been intent on finding its next big Sportstyle model. The past few seasons have seen the ASICS introduce (or reintroduce) several silhouettes, including the GEL-CUMULUS 16, GEL-Sekiran, and for our purposes, the GEL-Nimbus 10.1 hybrid. On the heels of a strong yet under-appreciated collab by END. Clothing are fresh GR colorways, all of which you can cop now from asics.com.
Not to diminish the potential of other ASICS Sportstyle newcomers, but the GEL-Nimbus 10.1 is probably one of the more likely candidates for achieving mainstream success. The fact that we’ve gotten collabs by names like KITH, INVINCIBLE, and even Stefon Diggs is telling, and the model’s GEL-Kayano 14 sole makes for a familiar introduction.
Three fresh GEL-Nimbus 10.1s are available now from the ASICS website, starting with an “Ironclad/Graphite Grey” colorway featuring a painted midsole. Then comes a “White/Black” look featuring some subtle red accents, followed by an “Obsidian Grey/Green Basil” option.
The GEL-Nimbus 10.1 clocks in at $160, putting it in the pricier tier of ASICS Sportstyle sneakers. See our Where To Buy sections below for purchase links leading to the ASICS site.
