The ASICS Gel-NYC Utility sneaker combines heritage and modern performance with inspiration from running styles. Its upper design is influenced by the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s, featuring embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V. The contrasting tooling of the upper is based on the GEL-CUMULUS 16's tooling system, resulting in a blend of retro and contemporary aesthetics. Designed for comfort, the midsole uses lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts to provide exceptional underfoot support. Features include a ripstop upper, leather overlays, embossed and embroidered branding, and a durable rubber outsole.
