ASICS GEL-NYC Yankees sporty heritage in a modern silhouette
The ASICS GEL-NYC Yankees is a tribute to classic American sports design. The colorway is inspired by the recognizable shades of the iconic New York Yankees uniform with a mix of navy, white, and subtle grey accents. This edition combines retro running technology with contemporary styling and is perfect for fans of sporty heritage and technical sneakers.
The combination of a clean base color with deep blue details gives this sneaker a timeless look that works just as well in a casual streetwear fit as in a more streamlined sporty look.
Navy-white upper with subtle contrasts
The upper of the Yankees edition consists of breathable mesh in off-white, with overlays in navy blue suede and synthetic leather. The ASICS stripes on the side are tone-on-tone in navy, with white outlining as a direct nod to classic baseball uniforms.
Subtle silver-grey accents add extra dimension to the design, while the construction stays true to the GEL-NYC DNA: layered, technical, and visually dynamic without overdoing it. This edition feels like a modern classic you can wear every day.
Technology under the hood: GEL + EVA cushioning
Like other GEL-NYC models, this edition features ASICS' well-known GEL cushioning in both the heel and forefoot. The EVA midsole provides extra support, stability, and comfort during prolonged use. The grippy outsole is inspired by performance running shoes but fully adapted for lifestyle use.
This sneaker offers a smooth walking experience, with enough cushioning to keep your feet fresh whether you’re walking around the city, traveling, or simply seeking comfort for all-day wear.
Fit and sizing advice
The ASICS GEL-NYC Yankees fit true to size. If you have experience with ASICS or wear models like the New Balance 2002R or GEL-Kayano 14, you can stick to your usual size. For wide feet, half a size larger is recommended. The model fits nicely around the ankle and feels comfortable immediately upon putting it on.
Who is this edition for?
This colorway is ideal for fans of clean sneakers with a sporty twist. The Yankees edition feels like a tribute to American sports culture but fits perfectly within modern European styles. Think navy cargo pants, an oversized varsity jacket, or just a simple off-white hoodie.
