Since the introduction of the first GEL-Foundation in 1999, the goal for this series has been to provide maximum support to runners who need more than a standard stability shoe offers.
Moulds and customises itself to the individual heel shape of the wearer.
A reflective material produced by the 3M company for night safety.
An EVA sockliner moulded to the shape of the foot, which can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic.
New blown AHAR outsole material. Delivers enhanced cushioning, durability and ride to the forefoot.
The ASICS GEL System is probably the most famous of all our innovations. To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the GEL-units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe. For the ASICS GEL cushioning system various materials are used. Depending on its function, the GEL-unit contains a siliconebased porous foam, a silicone GEL or a semi-solid silicone substance encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units are also precisely designed to the specific function and position.
ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Tough rubber compound used at the heavy-contact areas of the outersole. Helps cut down on excessive wear.
Proprietary midsole material that improves bounce back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.
The proprietary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities. 65 density for increased stiffness thus limiting midsole deformation.
ASICS offers a range of widths for unsurpassed fit.
This model offers maximum support with an even smoother ride. It introduces Gender Specific Cushioning technology, featuring a new 2 density cradle on top of the normal 2 density midsole, ensuring a stable base for both genders.
The GEL-Nimbus 13 boasts outstanding levels of rearfoot and forefoot cushioning to absorb and disperse shock throughout gait.

Since the introduction of the first GEL-Foundation in 1999, the goal for this series has been to provide maximum support to runners who need more than a standard stability shoe offers. To that end, the shoe offers a wide, supportive base that is surprisingly comfortable as well as a great fitting upper. These features will be reprised in the GEL-Foundation 9 but with a few changes in enhance the support offered and the upper fit.
The density of the midsole has been slightly increased to ensure better support and durability; however the addition of a full length SpEVA 65 lasting material and a 6mm Comfordry sockliner means that the shoe is as comfy under the foot as ever. An extra wide base and a high midsole top line serves to cradle the foot whilst a molded trusstic device and extended DuoMax posting ensures plenty of midfoot stability.
Changes to the upper include the addition of the popular bunion window and an extra long forefoot vamp to ensure plenty of room for the foot to spread out in the propulsion phase. These features combined with dual PHF in the rearfoot and a slightly roomier toe box further enhance fit and comfort resulting in a supportive shoe with an excellent fit and ride as the foot transitions from heel strike through to propulsion.
