ASICS Introduces the GEL-NYC 2055

Jul 16, 2024

The mesh runner trend has helped propel ASICS to new levels in recent years. As the brand continues to grow, so does their lineup of in-demand, retro-inspired Sportstyle silhouettes. Just last month, ASICS introduced us to the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1, an update to the 10.0 with added GEL-KAYANO 14 DNA.

Another recent silhouette, the GEL-NYC, has been welcomed with open arms, thanks in part to hit collaborations with the likes of Awake NY, Hidden.NY, and even Naruto.

After an impressive 2023, the GEL-NYC is now getting an update of its own, the GEL-NYC 2055. Like it’s predecessor, the shoe sources design influences from various archived running shoes that released in the early 2000s. Both the GEL-NYC and GEL-NYC 2055 come with the midsole and outsole of the GEL-CUMULUS 16. It’s on the uppers where they deviate. While the OG GEL-NYC featured a design inspired by the GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s (combined with elements from the GEL-MC PLUS V), this latest model is a blend of the GT-2050 and GT-2060 (hence the name 2055).

The ASICS GEL-NYC 2055 makes its debut in a handful of colorways, our favorite being the “Cream” featured in the editorial shots below. There is also a “Glacier Grey” option featuring blue-tinted overlays, a “Pale Oak” colorway with hits of green, and a “Pure Silver” pair with golden brown accents.

Check out the debut colorways of the GEL-NYC 2055 below. Look for them to become available starting July 19th on ASICS.com and at select retailers such as Nouveau.
