Asics Gel-NYC 'Graphite Grey Black'
The ASICS Gel-NYC is a hybrid lifestyle silhouette that fuses design elements from two archive ASICS models: the Gel-Nimbus 3 and the MC-Plus V. First released in 2023, the Gel NYC quickly became one of the most popular silhouettes in the retro running revival, sitting alongside the Gel-Kayano 14 and Gel-1130 as a cornerstone of ASICS' lifestyle range. Its chunky profile, exposed GEL technology, and premium material mixes have made it a favourite in the fashion-forward sneaker community.
The Graphite Grey Black colourway features a dark, tonal palette of graphite grey and black across the layered mesh and synthetic leather upper. Tonal grey panels create subtle depth while black detailing grounds the design. Reflective trims add a technical edge that catches the light without being obvious. It's one of the darkest and most versatile Gel-NYC colourways, making it an easy daily rotation shoe.
Dual-layer GEL and FF Blast cushioning for a soft, responsive ride with genuine shock absorption. Breathable mesh upper with synthetic leather overlays for structure and a technical aesthetic. Hybrid midsole tooling borrowed from the Gel-Cumulus 16 for comfort and stability. Reflective trims and tonal grey panels with black detailing for a sleek, understated look. Durable rubber outsole with multi-directional traction pattern for reliable grip.
Fit: Runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK size.

The ASICS Gel-NYC Graphite Grey Black is ideal for anyone who wants a technically advanced lifestyle sneaker in a dark, understated colourway. The graphite grey and black palette makes it one of the easiest Gel-NYC colourways to wear daily, while the dual-layer GEL and FF Blast cushioning delivers genuine all-day comfort. A strong choice for anyone who appreciates the chunky retro running trend but prefers darker, more stealthy options.
The Graphite Grey Black Gel-NYC is one of the most versatile dark colourways in the range. The tonal grey and black palette works with virtually anything, from all-black outfits to dark denim, olive cargo pants, or neutral joggers. The reflective trims add subtle detail that catches the light without being flashy. A genuine everyday shoe that bridges streetwear and smart-casual.
The ASICS Gel-NYC sits alongside the Gel-Kayano 14, Gel-1130, and New Balance 1906R as part of the chunky retro running revival. Compared to the Oatmeal Obsidian Grey colourway, the Graphite Grey Black offers a darker, more subdued palette for those who prefer stealthy footwear. The dual GEL and FF Blast cushioning gives it a technological edge over competitors like the Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 and Nike P-6000, which rely on simpler foam midsoles. Against the New Balance 1906R, the Gel-NYC has a chunkier, more aggressive profile with more visible cushioning technology.

The Gel-NYC features a dual-layer cushioning system combining ASICS' signature GEL technology with FF Blast foam. The GEL inserts absorb shock on impact in the forefoot and heel, while the FF Blast foam provides lightweight, responsive energy return. The hybrid tooling is borrowed from the Gel-Cumulus 16, delivering genuine performance-grade comfort in a lifestyle silhouette.
The Graphite Grey Black colourway is available in unisex sizing. Check the available sizes on the product page for current stock.
We recommend spot cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing as this can damage the synthetic leather overlays and GEL inserts. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
