Is the Gel-NYC 2.0 good for running?

It is built as a lifestyle shoe. The cushioning is comfortable, but it lacks the stability and durability of ASICS's dedicated running models.

How does it compare with the original Gel-NYC?

The 2.0 has a sleeker upper inspired by the GEL-1050 and a lighter FF BLAST PLUS midsole, so it feels more refined and modern than the original.

Does it fit true to size?

Most wearers take their usual size. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size.

What cushioning does it use?

FF BLAST PLUS foam in the midsole with GEL units in the heel and forefoot.

Can I wear it in wet weather?

The suede overlays and white mesh are not water-resistant, so keep it for dry conditions.

Our take on the ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 "White Feather Grey"

The Gel-NYC 2.0 is ASICS's lifestyle runner that mixes early-2000s running design with a cleaner, modern look. The upper borrows from the heritage GEL-1050, with a white mesh base and Feather Grey suede overlays over earthy accents. Underfoot it pairs a lightweight FF BLAST PLUS midsole with rearfoot and forefoot GEL for soft landings and shock absorption. It sits as a comfort-first daily sneaker, closer to the Gel-Kayano 14 and Gel-Nimbus 9 retro-tech line than to a pure performance runner.
