Runner's World magazine, the worldwide authority on running, awarded the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9 running shoe the International Editor's Choice Award for the 2007 'Shoe of the Year' at an awards ceremony in New York City on Friday, November 2nd.
"This year's International Editor's Choice recipient jumped out at editors from the start of the nomination process. The more segmented midsole coupled with added GEL in the heel gives this shoe a super-cushioned, yet still stable ride. A Runner's World online survey among the 10 editions proved that readers agreed; the shoe was the top vote-winner," states Runner's World.
The award was presented to the ASICS team by about dozen international editors from Runner's World. "We are thrilled to have been awarded this prestigious award two out of the last three years. It is always humbling to be acknowledged by the experts in the world of running and we much appreciate the recognition for all our efforts to bring the best gear solutions to all types of runners," says Gary Slayton, VP of Marketing, ASICS America Corporation.
In addition to the 'Shoe of the Year' award, Runner's World USA also awarded the ASICS GT-2130 performance running shoe "Editor's Choice". The award will be featured in the December 2007 Winter Shoe Guide.
The GEL-Nimbus 9, an ultra-cushy running shoe, is available in stores. The GT-2130, a structured cushioning shoe, became available at specialty running retailers on October 15, it will be mass released on January 1, 2008.
