The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 Cream Black is an industrial-style sneaker designed for distance running. It features a Cream base with accents in black and metallic silver. Unlike other versions of the Y2K-inspired Gel-Nimbus 9, this model doesn’t have color blocking or bold contrast. Instead, the tiger stripe overlays streak across the side panels and crisscross the airy mesh upper. Crafted from durable leather, the overlays are complemented by a synthetic inner lining. A front lace closure system secures the fit, while padding in the collar protects the ankle. The segmented midsole, which features gel inserts in the heel and forefoot, provides cushioning on various surfaces ranging from pavement to dirt, while supporting stability and stable steps. The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 Cream Black was released on January 1, 2024, and sold for $160.
