ASICS tones down their Y2K revival with the GEL‑NYC “Cream/Cloud Grey,” blending muted neutrals and soft pastel accents for a refined summer look.

The upper layers breathable cream mesh with cloud grey synthetic and leather overlays, drawing direct inspiration from early-2000s performance runners like the GEL‑Nimbus 3 and GEL‑MC Plus V. Periwinkle-blue suede mudguards add a gentle pop, balanced by mocha-brown ASICS stripes and tongue branding that introduce subtle warmth. Metallic silver details on the midsole panels give it a polished lift without detracting from the overall calm palette.

Built on the GEL‑CUMULUS 16 tooling, this GEL‑NYC features lightweight foam and dual GEL cushioning in both forefoot and heel, delivering responsive comfort for full-day wear. A cushioned collar and padded insole offer ergonomic support, while the outsole’s Stability Web shank ensures reliable arch integrity—ideal for long walks or casual outings.

Dropped in June 2025, the Asics Gel-NYC 'Cream Cloud Grey' is now available at a retail price of €150.
