Asics GEL-NYC Sneaker Cream White
The GEL-NYC is a composite model: Asics based the upper on the GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s, borrowed details from the GEL-MC PLUS V and set the whole thing on the sole of the GEL-CUMULUS 16. That sounds like a puzzle, and that is exactly why the shape is so recognizable. This version is called Cream White: off-white mesh with gray and beige suede overlays, and a sole in two shades of gray.
Where does this model come from?
From the Asics running archive. In the late nineties, the GEL-NIMBUS line was their cushioned road shoe, with many layers of material on top of each other and a wide sole. That construction now works well for a street shoe, because there is room in it and because the silhouette is heavier than a flat sneaker. The GEL-NYC is a modern take on it, not a reissue.
What is under your heel?
Gel cushions, in the heel and under the forefoot. Since the eighties, Asics has placed a soft gel-like substance there in the midsole that absorbs the impact at the moment your foot lands. Together with the light foam around it, this is a shoe you can wear through long days without feeling your feet in the evening.
How do you keep cream cream?
This color shows dirt; we have to be honest about that. For this model, Asics specifies hand washing: a damp cloth with a little soap over the mesh, and a dry brush over the suede. The washing machine weakens the glued bond between the sole and the upper, so we skip it. Then let it dry in shape at room temperature, not on the radiator.
One pair left, in size 45
In this colorway, we only have size 45 left on the rack. The GEL-NYC has a regular width and a round toe, so it fits many feet. If you want to be sure the length is right, check the Asics size guide before you order.
We mostly sell this one to people who walk a lot and don’t want to look sporty doing it. Keep in mind that cream shows dirt: a brush and a cloth in the closet are no luxury here.
