I’ve been dealing with lower back pain that shows up when I run, and I’ve started noticing a pattern that might be relevant.

The pain seems to get triggered specifically when I use my ASICS Nimbus shoes. On runs with those, I sometimes also feel discomfort in my foot first, and then the lower back pain follows. When I don’t use them, the pain is either much less or doesn’t show up as strongly.
For my easy and interval runs, I use gel pulse 15 which as of now hasn’t given me any post run pain.

Someone mentioned it could be related to a nerve issue or a kinetic chain problem (foot → posture → back), but I’m not sure what exactly this is called or if that’s accurate.

Need some suggestions.
