The ASICS GEL-NYC 2055 draws inspiration from various archival running shoe designs released in the early 2000s. It merges design elements from the GT-2050 and GT-2060 models, with key details from these silhouettes visible on the ASICS stripes, heel counter, and eyelet structure. The tooling for the sole unit is derived from the GEL-Cumulus 16, contrasting with the retro influences of the upper. The midsole incorporates a combination of lightweight foam and GEL technology for enhanced comfort.
