ASICS has unveiled more variations of the GEL-NYC sneaker model to its roster ever since its first unveiling last year. The shoes are remixed with an outdoor design that is backed by utility styles. Now dubbed the GEL-NYX Utility, the hybrid model is designed with functional accents including the fabric eyelets for adventures and the pull tab at the heel for easier access.
The base of the upper is made with durable nylon in place of the usual breezy mesh. The new shoes also retain some familiar traits including the cushioned sole unit and the generally layered build throughout the upper. This time around, it is finished with a creamy matte finish and stylish colorways that invite bold branding.
