ASICS GEL-NYC “Formal Garden” sneakers: First look, design details, and everything we know so far

ASICS is reportedly set to release the GEL-NYC “Formal Garden” sneakers in 2025. The sneakers will be the latest addition to the brand's GEL-NYC lineup. Speculation has it that the shoes will retail at a price point of around $130. After the release, the pairs can be purchased globally via ASICS' official website, and other select retail locations.

The GEL-NYC “Formal Garden” is clad in a color palette of green shades, and neutral tones. The colorway features forest green suede overlays, which are complemented by sage leather underlays. These are further accented by lucky green trims for a layered look. Cream mesh panels on the upper add a touch of vintage aesthetic to the upcoming sneakers' design and look.

How might the ASICS GEL-NYC “Formal Garden” sneakers look?

The “Formal Garden” colorway combines smoke grey with formal garden green tones to set an attractive visual appeal. The upper of these sneakers reportedly draws inspiration from the GEL-NIMBUS 3, and GEL-MC PLUS V models. It features green suede overlays, a leather base, and cream mesh accents.

Green accents are also seen on the overlays, and around the heel of the shoes. The midsole features a blend of lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts. The GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling system is incorporated into the midsole.

For branding, the ASICS logo is subtly featured in the design. The sneakers have also been equipped with reflective accents for visibility in low-light conditions.

Interestingly, the brand's website for the Australia region has already listed a GEL-NYC “Formal Garden” on its website. Those are priced at AU$ 220 and are available in both men's and women's sizes.

Here is how that website has described the shoes:

"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 also adds,

"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."
