The ASICS Gel-NYC Concrete Oatmeal is a synthetic and suede upper running sneaker with a silver mesh base and overlays in Concrete and Oatmeal’s shades of cream and gray. The Gel-NYC was designed for ASICS AnGELo Baque and crew, taking inspiration from previous ASICS shoes. The GEL-NYC combines aspects of earlier GEL-NIMBUS 3 styles and features ASICS’ signature linear overlay motif to create an evolution that is both familiar and novel among ASICS’ well known performance silhouettes. The midsole is crafted from a blend of lightweight foams, featuring GEL technology inserts and a curved, buoyant aesthetic. ASICS and GEL branding appears on the tongue, side, and heel in gray and white. Our experts feel that the best feature of the Gel-NYC is the silver base, which adds a metallic pop to the neutral color palette. The ASICS Gel-NYC Concrete Oatmeal released on July 22, 2023, and retailed for $130.
