Gel-NYC Graphite Grey Black

The ASICS Gel-NYC Graphite Grey Black builds on the Gel-NYC’s established design, but this version features a significantly darker and more austere color scheme. The silhouette retains the characteristic layered design, dynamic side lines, and chunky sole, but thanks to the combination of graphite gray and black, the overall look feels more technical and visually compact. The design strongly emphasizes the proportions of the upper and the panel layout characteristic of the Gel-NYC model.The color scheme is based on a combination of Graphite Grey shades with deep black and silver details. The graphite base covers most of the upper’s surface, while black elements around the ASICS logo, lacing system, and sole visually reinforce the design and highlight the model’s dynamic lines. Metallic accents break up the more matte texture of the materials, ensuring the layered panel arrangement remains clearly visible despite the darker color palette.The upper is made from a combination of breathable mesh, synthetic panels, and suede reinforcing elements. 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 even with a more subdued, dark color scheme.The outsole incorporates solutions inspired by the GEL-CUMULUS models and features GEL technology for cushioning and energy dissipation while walking. The construction relies on lightweight foam and a segmented outsole design that improves flexibility and ground contact. The extended rear section further emphasizes the distinctive proportions of the Gel-NYC model.
