The Asics Gel-NYC is a lifestyle shoe born from a collaboration with Angelo Baque of Awake NY. Its name is inspired by New York City, a hub for emerging styles, and it blends iconic Asics archive designs with timeless aesthetics and modern cultural influences. This mashup model reimagines classic Asics footwear, drawing inspiration from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s, incorporating design elements from the 2021 GEL-MC PLUS V, and utilizing the tooling from the GEL-CUMULUS 16.
