The ASICS GEL-NYC 2055 draws inspiration from archived running shoes released in the early 2000s, specifically referencing the GT-2050 and GT-2060 models. These influences are evident in the shoe's upper construction, including the ASICS Stripes, heel counter, and eyelet structure. The midsole utilizes the tooling system from the GEL-CUMULUS 16, combining lightweight foams with GEL technology for enhanced comfort.
