ASICS Gel-NYC Utility Obsidian Grey Carbon — archival running in a utility style
The Gel-NYC arrived in late 2022 in collaboration with Awake NY, during the resurgence of interest in technical 2000s running shoes. Its design combines the foundation of the Gel-Nimbus 3 with details from the Gel-MC Plus V on the Gel-Cumulus 16 sole unit, resulting in a hybrid silhouette designed specifically for the streets. This Utility Obsidian Grey Carbon version brings the model to a dark, functional palette, with finishes reminiscent of technical equipment.
Gel-NYC — GEL heritage from the GT-II to today
ASICS introduced its GEL technology in 1986 with the GT-II, and the Gel-NYC carries on that legacy in a modern, layered construction. In this colorway, obsidian and carbon tones dominate the upper and sole, with grey details breaking up the monochrome look and reinforcing the silhouette’s utility character.
Materials and technology
- Upper: a combination of mesh and synthetic materials in obsidian and carbon tones, with structured utility-inspired overlays.
- Interior: internal padding and an insole with support for extended everyday wear.
- Sole: GEL® technology inherited from the GT-II on the Gel-Cumulus 16 sole unit, with a foam midsole and rubber outsole.
