These Are The Sneakers You Want Even If You Hate All Sneakers
These Are The Sneakers You Want Even If You Hate All Sneakers
WHAT: ASICS GEL-Nimbus® 26
WHY: Are we outing ourselves as East Coasters by using the word “sneakers?” What do you call them? Trainers? Tennis shoes? Sneakers are of course the most charming term. Are we all sneaking around when we wear them?
Ok, but back to why we’re here together. It’s because we have found a sneaker so comfortable, so perfect, so universally amazing in every possible category, we must shout it to you now in BIG BOLD LETTERS because we are just that excited by it.
Girls and boys, it is a pair of ASICS, and quite honestly. we had zero knowledge of their brand before this new discovery.
So first, let’s take a look at the very specific style of ASICS—the GEL-Nimbus® 26.
Ok, so why, among the sea of sneakers in this world, are these the ones we love? Let us count the ways:
• This is technically a running shoe, and as such, it’s incredibly cushioned. So whether you wear it for walking or running or just like, you know, being alive, the gel and foam construction feels like a literal fucking cloud. (Yes, nimbus cloud!)
• The gentle rocker bottom means you perpetually feel confident that if you push off at any given moment, you will no doubt launch into a Tom Cruise-adjacent running style. This feels good.
• Oh, and it also gives you about 2 inches of height because of the thick sole—and we will NEVER complain about getting some extra height.
• It’s hard to fully explain but the tabs on the tongue and the heel of the shoe have stretch such that if you have tired or weak fingers, you can pull them on without a hitch.
• They are extremely roomy in the toe box, so your feet never feel squished. The material is breathable and airy, so your feet don’t sweat, and they feel like they weigh nothing at all.
Oh, and they’re just so pretty:
So listen. If you have a sneaker you love, just keep on loving it. But if you have never found your twin flame in a sneaker, this one might just be the one. In a non-culty way of course.
