Asics Gel-NYC
Designed for the city, inspired by performance - ASICS GEL-NYC
The ASICS GEL-NYC is one of the most sought-after models on the current running-tech scene. The sneaker is based on a combination of several iconic Asics running silhouettes - primarily the GEL-Nimbus 3, GEL-MC Plus and selected elements from the Kayano models. The result is a hybrid design that combines the best of the archival models with modern materials and a clean fashion aesthetic.
While the GEL-NYC wasn't created as a sports shoe for professionals, it retains authentic performance DNA. GEL™ cushioning combined with lightweight foam provides a soft, stable and comfortable stride that you'll appreciate all day long. The upper combines layered mesh and synthetic panels, giving the shoe a distinctive retro-tech look inspired by the aesthetics of the late 2000s. The sturdier construction feels modern, but also harkens back to the era when Asics defined running design.
In streetwear, the GEL-NYC has gained immense popularity due to its versatility. It works great with cargo pants, loose jeans, but also with nylon sets or minimalist technical outfits. The retro vibe of the model perfectly complements the current trend of "running shoes as fashion", making the GEL-NYC a constant in urban rotations around the world.
If you're looking for a sneaker that combines Asics' vintage aesthetic with a modern lifestyle, the ASICS GEL-NYC is just the model - comfortable, stylish and ready for the everyday pace of the city. If you want, I'll even prepare an HR translation.
Materials
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Midsole
GEL™: ASICS' GEL™ technology uses a special cushioning gel that effectively absorbs shock for a softer, more stable impact with every step. Gel inserts are strategically placed in the heel or forefoot where they help reduce stress on joints and muscles the most. As a result, they provide significantly increased comfort, facilitating a smooth transition between each phase of the stride and helping to maintain comfort even during longer running workouts or everyday wear.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
"In a healthy body, a healthy spirit." This is the message hidden in the brand name Asics, which is an acronym of an old Latin proverb. The very original Asics sneakers are adorned with the Onitsuka Tiger branding , which refers to the brand's founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, as opposed to the now-familiar "a" branding .
Asics sneakers have long been perceived by the public as only a quality running shoe. However, the hidden potential of Japanese design only came to full light at the end of the last decade, when the streetwear spotlight was occupied, for example, by the very hilarious Asics Gel-Kayano 5 shoes . Not only with this model, but also with the silhouette of the Asics Gel-Kinsei, the brand made a strong statement in the fashion world, where it plans to play in the top league in the twenties.
Asics Gel cushioning technology
With the popularization of lifestyle sneaker wear and the rise of streetwear , many Asics silhouettes have shifted to footwear for all manner of leisure activities. Thus, more than one sneaker enthusiast today sees Asics shoes as a fashion accessory. This is mainly due to the fusion of the unique Japanese aesthetic as well as the comfort often provided by the cushioning technology AsicsGel - a gel capsule whose effects are especially noticeable when you're pedaling and rebounding.
The relevance of Asics within streetwear culture was also proven by the Asics x Sean Wotherspooncollaboration on the Asics Gel-Lyte 3 silhouette . You can find this legendary model on Footshop, as well as other popular pieces like the Asics Gel-Nandi, Gel-Lyte and a bunch of others in both men's and women's options.
So, whether you're the kind of athlete who opens each day with a morning half hour down the river, or you just enjoy unconventional colourways and timeless silhouettes, Asicssneakers belong in your shoe closet. So take a good look around.
