There’s no doubt that most of ASICS’ modern lineup is filled with odes to the early 2000s. Full of technical and retro details, ASICS’ sneakers aren’t just performance-ready; they’re riddled with nostalgia. Now, ASICS is once again tapping into its Y2K vault with a new version of the GEL-NYC sneaker that emphasizes all of the early 2000s details. Arriving in two new colorways, the GEL-NYC draws inspiration from both the GEL-NIMBUS and GEL-MC PLUS V sneakers, which have become some of ASICS’ recent cult favorites. While brands like New Balance and Reebok continue to expand their offerings into different audiences, ASICS remains true to its signature style and continues to build upon its reliability and practicality.

Combining retro styling with modern performance features, GEL-NYC is another example of how well ASICS can maintain its status among its customers. Arriving in two new colorways, the GEL-NYC sneaker expands with the addition of the new “Cream/Irvine” and “Grove/Olive Canvas” shades. The “Cream/Irvine” features a white mesh base accented by hues of cream, navy, and olive green in the overlays. A contrasting dark orange also highlights the uppers with a punch. In its subsequent colorway, the “Grove/Olive Canvas” iteration features tonal hues of green on the uppers, broken up by accents of cream on the midsole. In both versions, the GEL-NYC is equipped with lightweight foams and Gel technology inserts for added cushion in the underfoot. Both colorways are now available via ASICS’ webstore, with the “Cream/Irvine” colorway retailing for $130, while the “Grove/Olive Canvas” iteration is priced at $140.
