    Bumble & Puma encourage singles to discover love while running

    MUMBAI : This Valentine’s weekend, Bumble and Puma are redefining dating with the singles run in Mumbai on 15 February. Swapping candlelit dinners for running shoes, the event offers singles a chance to meet, connect, and find chemistry through a shared love of fitness.

    The reason the duo is taking this tack is because fitness has increasingly started shaping dating trends. And a Bumble survey highlights how singles are embracing active connections:

    Fitness as the new flirty date: Nearly half (49 per cent) of singles actively seek fitness or wellness- based dates, preferring a jog, yoga session, or hike over conventional outings.

    Sports as the ultimate first date: A staggering 95 per cent of singles find sports-driven first dates appealing, with 72 per cent strongly favouring activities like a 3 km run, padel, or tennis.

    No sports, no love?: For 44 per cent of singles, a lack of interest in sports could be a dealbreaker in romance.

    Gen Z’s fitness-focused romance: More than half (52 per cent) of Gen Z singles prioritise fitness and wellness activities in their dating lives.

    Asics SportStyle launches Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneaker

    Mumbai: Asics SportStyle has launched the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneaker. It’s based on the original Gel-Nimbus 10 design from 2008 but reconfigured with an updated tooling system for everyday comfort.

    Iconic details, like the asymmetric paneling and open mesh construction from the model’s original design return on the upper. This design direction was originally meant to create a more accommodating fit and complement the foot’s natural bone structure. The quarter mesh application is also met with a seamless mesh panel that’s rendered with a unique geometric pattern.

    In the mid to late 2000s, Asics running shoes started using segmented midsole designs with industrial-like aesthetics. The tooling system for this sneaker retains this signature structure, featuring a dual-layer EVA foam, rearfoot and forefoot Gel technology inserts, and a Trusstic support unit. These elements help create a combination of cushioning and stability for better comfort in everyday scenarios.  

    The Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneakers will be unveiled on Asics SportStyle online and in select stores for Rs 13,999.
