ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 Cream Smoke Grey Blue

ASICS revisits its Y2K running archive with the GEL-NYC 2.0 in "Cream Smoke Grey Blue", a silhouette that takes its proportions from the 2000 era GEL-1050. Cream covers the textile and leather upper, while smoke grey suede overlays and silver reflective panels break up the base. Blue accents add contrast to an otherwise tonal look.

Underfoot, FF BLAST PLUS cushioning lightens the ride and adds bounce over the original, and GEL inserts at the rearfoot and forefoot soak up impact on pavement. A TRUSSTIC support unit steadies the midfoot, while flex grooves in the rubber outsole, borrowed from the GEL-LYTE DS II, keep the stride smooth from heel strike to push off. The muted palette leans street rather than track, working with cargo trousers or an oversized hoodie. Keep this one in mind for everyday wear.
