ASICS is launching an update of the beloved GEL-Nimus in early January 2017. This is update 19.
What fascinates me, on all updates, is how brands decide what to change and what to keep? ASICS has done this quite well for many years, as several of their key shoes are in the 20 plus model.
As always, RunBlogRun and the RunningNetwork suggest that our readers check out the shoes they love plus other brands at their local running store. Running footwear needs to be experienced in person.
