The ASICS Gel-NYC Utility sneakers draw inspiration from both heritage and modern performance running styles. Their upper construction references the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s while incorporating embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V design. The tooling contrasts the upper's retro influences by utilizing the tooling system from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoe. With a combination of lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts, this midsole formation delivers advanced underfoot comfort. Key features include a ripstop upper, leather overlays, embossed and embroidered branding, GEL technology, and a durable rubber outsole.
