The GEL-NYC sneaker sources inspiration from the practice of recycling in Japan. It features a consistent shade of blue that references the color of the country's trash cans and garbage trucks throughout the design. Its upper construction features a woven material on the underlays that's formed using recycled PET and textiles. These elements are offset with a net-like mesh that appears on the overlays. Meanwhile, this shoe's hybrid design incorporates influences from the GEL-NIMBUS 3, GEL-MC PLUS V, and GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoes to reimagine the ASICS archive with a contemporary design approach.

These shoes are extremely comfortable, didn’t require any wearing in and look fantastic. I didn’t really know what to expect quality wise but I’m extremely happy with this purchase, I wear them very often and get a lot of use from them in both active use and regular everyday wear. I can’t recommend them enough

Beautiful looking shoe. The colour pallette with the black, grey and off-white are perfect. Very versatile it goes with everything. Comfortable and just overall a sexy piece. Definitely the next big silhouette. I’ll be grabbing pairs in multiple colours.

Asics knocked it out the park with this one. The colour variations are perfect for the silhouette and shape of this shoe, it's more reasonably priced than equivalent shoes from the likes of New Balance, and is just as comfortable. Overall very happy with the shoe :)

I bought these shoes for work because I’m on my feet for long periods of time on a boat and they are really comfy! I’ve received compliments about them too because they are still fairly casual looking for a more sport style shoe which is why I chose them over all the bright coloured ones. The only thing is they aren’t as grippy as I thought they would be so I still slip a little bit on hard wet surfaces but overall I’m happy with them and they arrived about 36 hours after I ordered them which was amazing.
I ordered the grey but received this blue model. However the blue looks far better in my opinion. Only mistake I made was thinking it was a trainer/runner. It is a sneaker (very good looking one) so obviously heavier than a running shoe and that extra weight plus the toe box is a bit wide for me, are the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars. Would give it a 5 for looks, 4 for fit and comfortability. 4.5/5
Most comfortable shoes I’ve had in a very long time. Materials used to manufacture the model is of high quality as expected from a Japanese brand. ASICS have done well with the color ways to keep the model relevant.. so it ticks a lot of boxes in my view. Well done ASICS
Asics knocked it out of the park with this shoe. They fit and feel great on feet, perfect mix of comfort and stability so you can wear these all day no problem. I'm waiting for a sale to buy another color because they are that good! Quality was pretty good, some minor glue stains but that was all. Wide footers can stick TTS, if you have narrow feet then I think you can go a half size down
Beautiful Shoe, very lightweight though, not in a good way. Obviously this was the point of the shoe when released - for running purposes, however unfortunately the quality doesn't feel comparable to many other Asics recent Lifestyle Silhouettes. The hefty pricetag doesn't warrant bang for buck.
Im 39 and have just undergone a bunion operation. After rehabilitation i was firmly strict on finding good footwear and stylish, these absolutely tick all boxes.Comfort ✔️Space ✔️Style ✔️Quality ✔️Versatile with clothes ✔️Gym, and every day to day ✔️My feet is still in the recovery process with slight swelling, but im currently wearing my normal foot size which is 10.5 and it feels totally different than if i was wearing Nikes.I wish i had looked into Asics years ago, because i feel my feet would have been looked after better, and maybe less risk of operation.Im currently looking at my next purchase in a different colour.
I bought a pair of GEL-NYC, they are amazing. I love the layout of the website. The speed I was able to navigate the website was incredible. It seems like 4 clicks and they were on the way. They are incredibly comfortable and fit true to size and stylish in many ways. I will definitely be purchasing another pair in a different colour way.
