ASICS has been on top for a minute now and it shows. Look down to see what people have got laced up on their feet and there’s a strong chance it’s a pair of ASICS. It was only back in 2024 that the GEL-Kayano 14 became hugely popular, with the love for the Japanese-brand quickly spreading to other silhouettes like the GEL-1130, and of course, the GEL-NYC.

Since then, the GEL-NYC has steadily climbed the ranks, becoming a solid rotation staple for sneakerheads and casual footwear fans in 2026.

There are now more colourways for the GEL-NYC than ever, so here are 3 ways to style these ASICS. Dress them up or down, it can handle it all - but don’t take our word for it, take a look for yourself.
