ASICS Gel NYC ‘Black Fjord Grey’

The ASICS Gel-NYC Black Fjord Grey debuts with retro vibes as it pays homage to the original model that was released in the 2000s. Dressed in a black and fjord grey, the upper of this is sneaker boasts mixed materials that mimic leather. Mesh and synthetic seamlessly glide together to present an aesthetic that is sporty and luxurious with various textures. The iconic ASICS stripes add a boost of energy on the sides in fjord grey while black is present in the toe box, tongue, laces, and accents in the heel. The beloved GEL technology is seen in the forefoot and the heel, while the Space Trusstic bridge is under the arch. We think that the mix of retro influences with athleticism is this sneaker’s unique design element. An ASICS logo on the tongue and GEL logo on the heel, both in red, add a bit of pop to the otherwise tonal shoe.

The GEL NYC

• The GEL-NYC™ sneaker sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles.​
• Its upper construction references the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 shoe from the early 2000s and blends it with various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS™ V design.​
• The tooling contrasts the upper’s retro influences by using the GEL-CUMULUS® 16 shoe’s tooling system. Through a combination of lightweight foams and GEL® technology inserts, this midsole formation helps create advanced underfoot comfort.
