Asics Gel-NYC: The Perfect Blend of Running Heritage and Urban Design

The Asics Gel-NYC perfectly embodies the fusion of early 2000s retro running and modern streetwear aesthetics. Inspired by the brand’s iconic performance models, it features a structured, bold yet balanced silhouette that makes it as stylish as it is comfortable. This is the kind of sneaker that turns heads—whether on the street or in a shop window!

Equipped with in-house technologies designed for both comfort and performance, the Gel-NYC boasts visible Gel cushioning at the heel, a lightweight yet responsive FlyteFoam midsole, and a breathable mesh upper reinforced with synthetic overlays for added support. The result? A shoe that strikes the right balance between flexibility, support, and durability.

At Courir, the model is available in a variety of colourways—from clean white to all-black, as well as bolder versions with colourful or metallic accents. It’s a sneaker that adapts to every style: cargo trousers, straight-leg jeans, tracksuits, or even a maxi dress for a bold fashion contrast.

Which Models Are Available?

The Gel-NYC collection is regularly updated with new editions, including some limited releases. Sizes tend to go quickly, so here’s a tip: checking online availability is always a smart move if you don’t want to miss out on your favourite colourway.

What Size Should You Choose for the Asics Gel-NYC?

The Gel-NYC fits true to size. If you’re between sizes or have wider feet, it’s best to go up a size to ensure optimal comfort—especially for all-day wear.
