ASICS tones down its Y2K runner with the GEL‑NYC “Cloud Grey,” using layered neutrals and subtle orange hits to deliver refined minimalism with just the right touch of warmth.

The release blends light cloud-grey mesh with cement-grey suede overlays, giving it a calm, tonal look. Underneath, the mudguard wraps around the shoe in darker grey suede, while little pops of soft orange on the tongue logo, heel counter branding, and visible GEL pods inject a spark of understated energy—balancing restraint with character.

Built on the GEL‑CUMULUS 16 midsole platform, this GEL‑NYC uses lightweight foams paired with GEL cushioning in both the forefoot and heel. That combo delivers smooth shock absorption and a cushioned ride for daily wear. The layered mesh-and-suede upper keeps things breathable yet structured, making it perfect for long city walks or laid-back weekend use.

The Asics Gel-NYC 'Cloud Grey Cement Grey' launched in June, 2025, with a retail price of $130 USD/150€/145£.
