ASICS continues its dominance in the casual footwear market into 2025 with the introduction of the GEL-NYC 2055, a new iteration that stands at the forefront of the brand's innovative offerings. This latest model isn't just a shoe; it's a testament to ASICS's ability to blend historical performance features with contemporary design.
The GEL-NYC 2055 draws heavily on the design ethos of iconic early 2000s ASICS running shoes, specifically the GT-2050 and GT-2060 models. The sneaker incorporates distinctive elements from these classics, such as the ASICS Stripes, a meticulously designed heel counter, and a unique eyelet structure that harks back to its running roots. However, it's the integration of the GEL-CUMULUS 16's advanced tooling system that modernizes the sneaker, offering enhanced comfort and support that appeals to both athletes and casual wearers alike.
Available in various colorways, including this late-summer-to-fall-friendly "Glacier Grey," the GEL-NYC 2055 is designed to appeal to a global audience.
The ASICS GEL-NYC 2055 is currently available for purchase at $130 on ASICS US.
