ASICS Gel Nimbus have been my go-to running shoes for years! They are among the shoes running stores recommend to me based on my foot and gait analysis.

This past Saturday I ran my first half marathon! Finished in 1:53:02, which crushed my primary goal to finish in under two hours!

My race day fit featured the Under Armour fly-by shorts and my trusty ASICS Gel Nimbus shoes. Goodr active sunglasses kept me from squinting and didn’t slide all over the place.

It’s finally cooled off enough in the South to wear socks, and my Draper James x Rustler Hat Co socks I bought at the Draper James Pop-Up in Chapel Hill a couple months ago look perfect with my Birkenstock Boston clogs!
