ASICS has done it again. Following the success of the GEL-Kayano 14, the Japanese brand has once again joined forces with one of the most influential names in streetwear: Angelo Baque, former creative director of Supreme and founder of Awake NY. The result: the GEL-NYC, a silhouette that combines technical performance, modern design, and a clear inspiration from the energy of New York City.
This collaboration represents a natural evolution for the ASICS line. The GEL-NYC not only incorporates the acclaimed GEL cushioning technology, but also elevates its design thanks to Baque's creative vision, who personally selected the color palette and details that make them stand out.
Inspired by the unstoppable rhythm of the Big Apple, these sneakers are designed for both everyday comfort seekers and streetwear enthusiasts. The mesh upper ensures breathability and a snug fit, while the cushioned midsole protects your joints with every step.
But beyond their functionality, what makes the GEL-NYC unique is Baque's touch. His aesthetic sensibility, influenced by New York culture, street photography, and graphic design, translates into a model that pays homage to his hometown with an urban, versatile, and distinctive silhouette.
