More details on the ASICS GEL-NYC "Gravel Black/ Infrared" sneakers

The Japanese brand describes its GEL-NYC collection as follows:

"The GEL-NYC sneaker sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles. Its upper construction references the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s and blends it with various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V design."

It continues:

"The tooling contrasts the upper's retro influences by using the GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoe's tooling system. Through a combination of lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts, this midsole formation helps create advanced underfoot comfort."

The ASICS GEL-NYC "Gravel Black/ Infrared" sneakers continue ASICS' streak of remodeling retro silhouettes, as seen in the release of the two GEL-NYC 2025 grey iterations. The Gravel Black/Infrared colorway sticks to the original GEL-NYC design and features a unique blend of mesh and leather in the upper.

The sneakers have a low-cut silhouette and feature mesh uppers with leather and synthetic overlays. They are dressed in a predominantly grey colorway with neutral accents of black and dark grey and a bright splotch of red on the side, heel, and insole. They use ASICS signature GEL technology, which provides good shock absorption and excellent cushioning that supports the user's every movement.

Brand detailing includes an Asics logo embroidered on the tongue, Asics signature 'A' strip on the sides, a 'GEL' print embroidered on the heel, and a 'GEL Guidance Line' print inscribed underneath the shoes. A quick peek inside the shies brings you in contact with a bold Asics logo and print embossed in red and surrounded by grey details.

The shoes' paneled look and rugged aesthetics increase their appeal as a street fashion staple.
