Asics Gel-NYC was first released in 2022 under the creative direction of Angelo Baque’s Awake brand. It quickly gained a following among sneaker enthusiasts.
As we near the end of 2023, the Asics Gel-NYC not only remains in the shadow of its past successes, but boldly steps into 2024 with its latest iteration, the “Ivy/Smoke Grey“. This new colorway is a timely addition to the lineup and promises to be a staple in the spring wardrobes of shoe lovers everywhere.
The “Ivy/Smoke Grey” edition features lush suede panels in a rich green hue. The panels run from the forefoot to the heel and accentuate the tongue.
The fusion of elements from several iconic Asics models is what makes the Asics Gel-NYC stand out. The design intricately weaves cues from the Gel-Nimbus 3 with elements from other Gel-enhanced designs from Asics’ extensive collection. The result is a heritage-inspired look that resonates with both longtime Asics fans and newcomers to the brand.

The branding vectors on the profiles introduce a cream finish that contrasts elegantly with the green and gray tones. This palette extends to the sole unit, which is a nod to the 2014 Gel-Cumulus 16, known for its exceptional comfort and support. The sole’s rubber traction in a complementary “Smoke Grey” not only adds to the visual appeal, but also provides reliable grip, making the sneaker as functional as it is fashionable.
While firm launch details on asics.com are still under wraps, anticipation is high and an announcement is expected soon.
