Asics GEL-NYC Retro Lifestyle Sneaker

Not every pair here is made for running, and the ASICS GEL-NYC is proudly one of them. It was assembled from the brand's own archive, launched as an Awake NY collaboration in January 2023 and grew into one of ASICS' best-selling models worldwide.

Made for city days

Walking, commuting, travel and long shifts on your feet are where this sneaker shines. It is substantial, at about 373 g in a men's US 9, with a roughly 10 mm drop, and it is not intended for running.

• Three archives in one shoe: GEL-NIMBUS 3 upper, GEL-MC PLUS V detailing, GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling
• Visible heel GEL for cushioning through a full day
• Mesh-and-suede upper, a pairing never used on ASICS running shoes
• Wide, stable base with a segmented 4.5 mm rubber outsole and deep flex grooves
• Breathability rated 5/5; Arctic Sky Cream and Cream Oyster Grey colorways

Fit & sizing

Most performance running shoes are built on a single unisex last: the shoe is identical, only the size label changes. A US women's 8.5 is a US men's 7.
