ASICS is teaming up with Berlin-based artist and influencer Kicki Yang Zhang for an exciting new GEL-NYC capsule, blending art, fashion, and athletics in a unique way. Known for her work with top-tier brands like Burberry and Gucci, Zhang now brings her creative flair to two new colorways of the GEL-NYC, dropping on September 26th.
The pack includes two standout designs—one in sleek black and another in white with pink accents. Both versions feature glossy leather uppers for a refined aesthetic, complemented by futuristic TPU elements. The signature feature, however, is the shimmering glittered GEL units, which provide a playful contrast to the metallic silver toes, giving the sneakers a dazzling edge.
Adding a cultural and artistic twist, the sneakers come with Eastern-inspired illustrated insoles, paying tribute to ASICS' and Zhang's heritage. This thoughtful blend of creative influence and performance-driven design makes the Kicki Yang Zhang x ASICS GEL-NYC collaboration a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and fashion lovers.
With a confirmed release date of September 26th in Europe, those of us Stateside should expect a synchronized release on ASICS.com that same day.
