The GEL-NYC™ sneaker sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles. Its upper construction references the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 shoe from the early 2000s and blends it with various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS™ V design. The tooling contrasts the upper's retro influences by using the GEL-CUMULUS® 16 shoe's tooling system. Through a combination of lightweight foams and GEL® technology inserts, this midsole formation helps create advanced underfoot comfort.
