ASICS Gel-NYC 'Cream White'
- All orders fully tracked from dispatch to delivery
- International shipping available to select destinations
The Gel-NYC is a crossover build rather than a straight reissue, taking its upper from the Gel-NIMBUS 3 and its tooling from the MC-Plus V to create a silhouette that never existed in the archive. That mix of early 2000s running parts landed it at the centre of the technical runner revival, and it has since become one of ASICS’ most widely worn lifestyle models. It sits alongside the Gel-1130 and Gel-Kayano 14 as a core part of the retro line.
The Cream White colourway sets an off-white mesh base under cream suede at the toe, eyestay and heel, with white synthetic overlays and tonal Tiger Stripes running across the side panels. Graphite grey suede wraps the toe bumper and heel counter, with a mid-grey panel carrying the ASICS wordmark at the heel. A pale grey sculpted midsole sits beneath, housing a visible GEL unit at the heel in a smoked green-grey, above a grey and black outsole.
Visible GEL cushioning at the heel for impact protection and a responsive ride. Lightweight foam midsole working alongside the GEL unit for everyday comfort. Layered mesh and suede upper with synthetic overlays and tonal Tiger Stripe panelling. Graphite suede toe bumper and heel counter for structure and contrast. Durable rubber outsole for confident multi-surface traction.

The Cream White Gel-NYC suits anyone who wants the retro runner shape in a soft neutral that disappears into an outfit rather than leading it. The cream and grey palette is the most versatile execution in the range and the easiest to build into an existing wardrobe. The visible GEL unit and foam midsole also make it one of the more comfortable shoes in the category for long days on foot.
The Cream White Gel-NYC is the most neutral execution in the range and works with almost anything, from cream and oatmeal layering to washed denim and grey joggers. The graphite grey suede at the toe and heel gives it enough weight to avoid reading as a plain white trainer, though the pale upper will show marks and benefits from a suede protector before first wear.
The Gel-NYC sits alongside the Gel-1130, Gel-Kayano 14 and New Balance 1906R in the retro technical running category. Compared to the Gel-1130, the NYC runs chunkier with a taller sculpted midsole and a visible GEL unit, making it the more substantial of the two. It also uses more suede through the upper, which gives it a softer finish than the fully synthetic 1130 executions but asks for more care to keep clean.
Yes, the Gel-NYC runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size. The mesh and suede upper provides a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.
GEL is ASICS’ silicone-based cushioning technology, used here as a visible unit set into the heel of the midsole rather than hidden inside it. It absorbs impact and reduces shock through the foot, working alongside the lightweight foam for everyday comfort.
This is a unisex colourway stocked in UK 6 to UK 9.5. Choose based on your usual UK size rather than gender, as the fit is the same across the range.
Use a suede brush for the suede panels and a damp cloth with mild soap for the mesh. Treat them with a suede protector before first wear, as the cream and off-white finish marks readily. Avoid the washing machine and air dry away from direct heat.
