When it comes to creating a performance running style with sustainable practices, the GEL-NIMBUS® LITE 3 shoes are the green standard. Designed with recycled materials, the mesh upper provides better support, breathability, and comfort. The midsole’s FLYTEFOAM® cushioning is formed with organically derived materials. With laser cut details in the tooling, these features lighten the load placed on your body and help conserve resources.

Underpronation

Foot Type

High arches

Push Off

The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.

Considered Injuries

Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.

How your foot contacts the ground

The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.

Neutral

Foot Type

Normal size arches

Push Off

There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

Considered Injuries

Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.

How your foot contacts the ground

The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Tech & Materials

FLYTEFOAMâ„¢ cushioning is formed with organically derived materials that improve impact absorption and keep the shoe lightweight

At least 50% of the shoe’s upper polyester are made with recycled materials.

Laser-cut sidewall detailing

Improves deformation at footstrike.

Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Technology Cushioning System

Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

Solution Dye Sockliner

Sockliner is produced with a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage and carbon emissions

Full-ground contact design creates a smoother and more efficient ride
