Drawing from both heritage and contemporary performance running aesthetics, the GEL-NYC sneaker intricately weaves together inspiration from past and present. The upper design pays homage to the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe, skillfully fusing it with distinctive accents borrowed from the MC-PLUS V design, resulting in a harmonious blend of elements. In a deliberate juxtaposition, the midsole engineering takes cues from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 shoe's tooling system, artfully contrasting the retro influences of the upper. Employing a synergy of lightweight foams and strategic GEL technology inserts, this midsole composition pioneers an elevated level of underfoot comfort, seamlessly merging innovation with time-tested comfort.
