Gel-NYC Oatmeal Obsidian Grey

The ASICS Gel-NYC Oatmeal Obsidian Grey features the signature construction of the Gel-NYC model, combining ASICS’s archival running inspiration with a more modern and sophisticated silhouette. In this version, the design is based on a combination of light Oatmeal tones with darker Obsidian Grey details, giving the shoe a more balanced and visually striking look. The silhouette retains the technical character typical of the Gel-NYC line, but the calmer color scheme more strongly highlights the proportions of the silhouette and the layered arrangement of the panels.The color scheme is based on a combination of a cream base with dark gray and graphite details. Light mesh covers most of the upper, while Obsidian Grey panels reinforce the side elements of the construction and give the silhouette greater depth. Smoky accents around the ASICS logo, lacing system, and sole break up the design’s subdued character and highlight the model’s dynamic lines. Thanks to the limited color palette, the layered arrangement of materials and technical construction details remain clearly visible.The upper is made from a combination of breathable mesh, synthetic panels, and elements with a softer, suede-like texture. The mesh provides ventilation and reduces the weight of the construction, while the layered overlays stabilize the whole and maintain the model’s characteristic shape. The combination of several different textures ensures that the surface remains visually diverse despite the subdued color scheme.The outsole incorporates solutions inspired by the GEL-CUMULUS 16 and features GEL technology for cushioning and energy dissipation while walking. The construction relies on lightweight foam and a segmented outsole design that enhances flexibility and ground contact. The extended heel section further emphasizes the distinctive proportions of the Gel-NYC model and reinforces its more technical character.
