The ASICS Gel-NYC Graphite Grey Black (1201A789-020) is a modern runner that borrows its upper from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and its sporty details from the MC-PLUS V, reworked for today’s street-level demands.

Specs:

• Style Code: 1201A789-020
• Colorway: Graphite Grey Black — a predominantly black body with graphite gray overlays
• Upper: Combination of smooth leather panels and breathable mesh for durability and airflow
• Heel & Tongue: Padded collar and tongue for a snug, comfortable fit
• Closure: Traditional lace-up system with flat cotton laces
• Midsole: Lightweight foam base with visible GEL technology inserts in the heel for shock absorption
• Outsole: Solid rubber with a tread pattern derived from retro ASICS running shoes
• Lining: Soft textile lining to reduce friction and wick moisture
• Branding: Embossed ASICS stripes on the side panels and “GEL-NYC” debossed on the heel tab

Released in April 2023, this Gel-NYC carries the GEL-NIMBUS 3’s silhouette and the MC-PLUS V’s layered aesthetic, all wrapped in leather-and-mesh construction. Wear them for daily commutes or long walks where you want stable cushioning without sacrificing that early-2000s ASICS look.
