The Gel-NYC is Asics' lifestyle sneaker that borrows its tooling from running models: a mesh and synthetic upper over a foam and EVA midsole with Gel cushioning in the forefoot. It sits on a rubber outsole and a slightly raised platform sole, so it reads as a chunky retro runner rather than a performance shoe. It suits people who want a cushioned everyday sneaker with Y2K styling, and it is roomier and softer underfoot than slim retro rivals like the Gel-Kayano 14. Owners rate it highly for comfort and looks, though some find the platform sole heavy and the fit runs slightly large.
