What Inspired ASICS GEL-NYC?

Released in 2023, the ASICS GEL-NYC (the brainchild of collaborator Angelo Baque of Awake NY) has made waves thanks to its unique yet familiar design, which looks to popular collections for inspiration. In particular, the sneaker pays homage to the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V. The influences of prior models are reflected in the GEL-NYC's sporty appearance, which looks as though it was taken straight from the early 2000s.

Despite obvious homages to the retro era, the GEL-NYC doesn’t ignore the developments that have occurred since then, implementing new technology, such as that of the GEL-CUMULUS 16. Of course, the shock-absorbing GEL inserts are present, and even greater comfort is provided by a breathable upper and an overall ergonomic, lightweight design.

How to Style ASICS GEL-NYC

The number of practical features makes ASICS GEL-NYC a fantastic choice for exercising; however, this shouldn’t discourage fashion-focused sneakerheads from picking up a pair. Vintage style is all the rage these days, and the collection looks seamless when paired with a casual outfit, whether that’s jeans and a T-shirt or shorts and a vest top.

You’ll also find that the GEL-NYC comes in different colours (subject to availability), so you can coordinate with your wardrobe. Two popular variations are the black and grey models, both of which are neutral shades that combine with almost everything, from bright yellows to dark greens.
