ASICS GEL-NYC 2-0

The GEL-NYC 2.0 sneaker sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles.

Its upper construction references the GEL-1050 sneaker from the year 2000. The materials are also refreshed with hairy suede overlays and an intricate mesh pattern for a modern finish.

The newly designed tooling references the GEL-1050 sneaker, as well as the GEL-LYTE DS II shoe outsole influences for lifestyle purposes. Through a combination of TRUSSTIC support units, GEL technology inserts, and FF BLAST PLUS cushioning, this midsole formation creates a lighter and more comfortable feel than the first version.

• Upper is inspired by the GEL-1050 shoes: Hairy suede overlays and an intricate mesh for a premium, heritage feel.
• Rearfoot and forefoot GEL technology: Shock-attenuating material placed in the midsole of the shoe for cushioning and shock absorption.
• FF BLAST PLUS cushioning: This foam from our running collection has been re-tuned for everyday purposes. It's softer, bouncier, and lighter than standard cushioning materials.
• TRUSSTIC support system: Helps to improve stability.
• AHAR technology: ASICS high abrasion resistant rubber is placed in critical areas of the outsole to help increase durability.
• Walking-specific flex grooves to support natural movement: Smooth heel to toe transition.
