Inspired by the brand's running heritage the ASICS Gel-NYC Oyster Grey arrives in a monochromatic grey colourway that leans into the vintage aesthetic this design is trying to achieve. Combining elements of the GEL-Nimbus 3 and the MC-PLUS V the shoe features an airy mesh base in cream-white that is capable of keeping your feet cool and dry even when running. Suede and synthetic overlays reinforce the low-cut construction and the brand staple ASICS stripes comprising the lateral and medial sides with light bone accents. The patchwork design philosophy doesn’t stop at the upper, the shoe’s midsole has also borrowed from one of ASICS' other successful models, with tooling that originates from the Gel-Cumulus 16 from 2014. Visible GEL cushioning inserts adorn the forefoot and rear for stable and bouncy cushioning as a reminder that this release is both style and substance.
