x Needles GEL-NYC sneakers

ASICS collaborates with Japanese brand Needles to create the striking GEL-NYC sneakers. The all-black design is highlighted with vibrant purple accents, sourcing inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles, whilst staying true to Needles' aesthetic.​ They feature a lace-up closure and sturdy canvas upper with leather overlays, referencing the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 shoe from the early 2000s and blending it with various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS™ V design. The midsole formation focuses on long-lasting comfort thanks to the lightweight foams and GEL® technology inserts to create advanced underfoot comfort.
