ASICS GEL-NYC: Designed in New York City, made for the world
A concrete jungle where sneaker dreams are made of: New York is one of the world's major fashion centers. But using the city itself as design inspiration for shoes? Yes! The entire visual concept of the GEL-NYC Kicks is based on urban flair. The Japanese sneaker brand mixes two already popular ASICS GEL releases to create a new look: The upper material is reminiscent of the GEL-NIMBUS 3 with a strong 2000s vibe, and the upper details draw references to the ASICS GEL-MC-PLUS V. The result is a shoe that sets new standards in terms of style and performance. We love it!
But what makes the ASICS GEL-NYC look so special? The upper material is made from a mix of different materials such as mesh, leather or textile, combined to form the iconic ASICS stripes. In terms of color, the sneaker model impresses with a tone-on-tone design - like the ASICS GEL-NYC *Graphite Grey/Black* - or with contrasting colorways that add small, colorful highlights. But what catches everyone's eye is the midsole: With wave-shaped details, it runs along the shoe and gives the kicks with sporty cushioning a suitable, dynamic character.
