ASICS Gel-NYC Yankees

The ASICS Gel-NYC Yankees takes inspiration from GEL silhouettes of the past, and dresses it in the colors of the New York Yankees. This retro-looking running shoe features an upper inspired by the GEL-Nimbus 3 and the GEL-MC Plus V. A white mesh upper that promotes maximum airflow is overlaid with synthetics and suede in shades of dark blue. Synthetic and leather overlays in shades of gray course across the side panel give this sneaker the distinctive ASICS look. The midsole in white and shades of gray combines GEL technology in both the forefoot and the rear foot in order to provide springy cushioning and energy return with each step you take. The white outsole with pods of gray rubber is grooved for grip and vented for flexibility. The detail we appreciate most on this very New York pair of kicks is the subtle ASICS branding in white that hits a blue overlay just below the lateral collar. This branding pops even as it blends into the aesthetic of the shoe. The ASICS Gel-NYC Yankees was released on March 3, 2023, for an original retail price of $130.
