The ASICS GEL-NYC is a hybrid silhouette that features elements of heritage shoes with modern design interpretations.. The upper’s construction references the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s, while the tooling system is adapted from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoe.

The result: a well-balanced design that’s equal parts stylish and comfortable. The upper features various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V. Additionally, the midsole is made with a mix of lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts to provide advanced underfoot comfort.

The model most recently emerged in a “Moss/Forest” colorway, perfect for the fall season. Its mesh and leather components across the upper addressed in varying shades of green, juxtaposed against the black sole unit.

Like the ASICS GEL-NYC “Dark Sepia/Clay Canyon”, the pair is available now on the brand’s website with a price tag of US$130.

Similar in tone, the New Balance 990v4 MADE in USA “Olive” might just be your cup of tea.
