Breaking down the ASICS Gel NYC
The ASICS Gel NYC debuted in 1987, introducing gel pods in the heel and front to absorb shock while you run. The EVA midsole adds springy responsiveness on pavement. Look out for that tech when browsing through our black women’s trainers.
Each Gel NYC comes with a stitched suede upper that's paired with breathable nylon panels, which offer structure around the foot while letting air circulate during long training sessions.
The outsole uses a herringbone tread pattern, which grips to everything from tiled floors in subways to wet cobblestones in historic quarters. Combined with gel units, it supports sudden stops and quick pace changes without sacrificing stability.
How Gel NYC by ASICS adapts to urban adventures
The Gel NYC by ASICS comes in low-top profiles for freedom at the ankle, with padded collars that cradle the heel for extra comfort while you walk; this suits bike commutes and weekend explorations.
There are colour-block editions that pair contrasting panels, like navy overlays with pastel liners, to show off street murals and neon signage. You can wear them under anything from cuffed denim to tracksuit bottoms.
Some of the special editions include reflective heel tabs, and branded tongue labels for improved visibility on night runs. This helps runners avoid traffic hazards and stay seen under streetlights after sunset.
How to go about styling your kicks
Pair your Gel NYC with fitted track pants and lightweight windbreakers for early-morning gym sessions, for a look that'll support stretches and sprint drills without needing to change your shoes.
For off-duty looks, you can combine your men’s designer trainers with chinos and a crisp Oxford shirt, and add a bomber jacket on cool evenings to shield you from any wind trying to ruin your day.
The Gel NYC’s gel cushioning is the ideal support and comfort you're looking for, whether you're used to hitting the track or spending all week in the same shoes rushing around town.
