ASICS says

The GEL-NIMBUS™ 27 shoe's soft cushioning properties help you feel like you're landing on clouds. This design is revamped to help create a softer and smoother running experience, providing dynamic comfort for the duration of your run to help you run further, longer. Suitable for every day, easy runs for all runners looking for a highly cushioned, neutral shoe.

A soft engineered jacquard mesh upper comfortably wraps your foot while supplying advanced ventilation. Additionally, the knit tongue and collar help provide a soft and supportive feel.

By using FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning, this trainer creates a lighter and softer cushioning experience.

Lastly, HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole rubber helps create better traction, improved softness, and advanced durability.
