Since Angelo Baque and Awake NY brought this contemporary take on a 2000s runner to light, the ASICS GEL-NYC has enjoyed one of the stronger runs as one of the brand’s headlining “GR” releases. It now arrives in a calming colorway fit for the Spring-to-Summer transition before warm weather becomes a daily reward.

Keeping to a classic construction of suede and mesh, this GEL-NYC leverages the soft grey hue with the slightest tint of beige with lighter bone-like tones on the leather underlay. At the heel, a relaxing hit of blue appears to match the exposed GEL cushioning embedded into the midsole, while a darker grey appears on the outsole traction.

If you’ve been looking for a fresh pair to fill out the rotation, these are available right now directly from ASICS.

Meanwhile, if you took an L on the coveted collab with Hidden, don’t worry – the Hidden ASICS GEL-NYC will launch again in mid-April.
