ASICS continues to dominate the casual footwear market with the latest iteration of its GEL-NYC model, which draws inspiration from the robust and rich aromas of a freshly brewed pot of black coffee.
Dubbed the "Black Coffee," this colorway is a nod to the simple pleasures of a morning ritual, encapsulated in a sneaker design.
The GEL-NYC "Black Coffee" is built with a deep brown mesh base, offering a dark, earthy foundation that mirrors its namesake beverage's intense, full-bodied characteristics. This is complemented by overlays in tonal brown and milk chocolate hues, adding a layer of visual depth and texture reminiscent of the coffee's creamy blend. The midfoot features striking white ASICS Tiger stripes that stand out against the dark backdrop, serving as a vivid contrast akin to the swirl of cream in a strong espresso. Latte-colored midsoles add a smooth, milky finish to the design, while the brown rubber outsole ensures durability and grip, much like the reliable base of a good cup of coffee.
Currently, the ASICS GEL-NYC "Black Coffee" is available at select global stockists, including Australia's Hype DC.
