ASICS GEL-NYC Cement Grey Ash Rock tonal perfection you won’t find anywhere else
The ASICS GEL-NYC Cement Grey Ash Rock is a balanced sneaker with a subdued color scheme that fully aligns with the current trend of tonal, technically inspired footwear. The combination of Cement Grey and Ash Rock creates a grey base with depth, perfect for those who love clean sneakers with a functional edge.
The design stays true to the familiar GEL-NYC silhouette: robust yet wearable, with an aesthetic that effortlessly fits both streetwear and modern techwear.
Grey layering with industrial flair
The upper is constructed from breathable mesh, suede, and synthetic overlays in various shades of grey. Cement Grey forms the base, while Ash Rock, a slightly darker, almost cool taupe color, subtly provides contrast in the panels. The ASICS stripes run tone-on-tone within the design, giving the shoe a visually calm appearance without becoming boring.
Thanks to the texture differences in the materials, the model looks modern and layered, while the colors keep it timeless. This version feels sleek, reliable, and aesthetically balanced.
GEL cushioning and EVA for long-lasting comfort
Underfoot, the GEL-NYC delivers the familiar cushioning through ASICS’ GEL technology in both the heel and forefoot. The lightweight EVA midsole provides long-lasting support, making this sneaker suitable for daily use — from work to travel to casual city walks.
The sole is inspired by running models from the 2000s (such as the GEL-Cumulus 16), but adapted for lifestyle use. You get the comfort of performance sneakers with the look of a contemporary classic.
Fit and sizing advice
This version fits true to size. If you have worn ASICS or similar models like the New Balance 2002R or the Salomon XT series before, you can stick to your usual size. If you have wider feet or are between sizes, choose half a size larger. The lining is soft and fits well around the heel and midfoot.
Who is this version for?
The Cement Grey Ash Rock is made for those who love calm color schemes with a technical look. The model fits well within tonal outfits, techwear, Scandinavian minimalism, or even workwear. Pair with grey cargo pants, black windbreakers, or a cream-colored overshirt for a clean look.
This sneaker is loved by people who seek consistency: visually understated, but with maximum comfort and reliability. It’s not a hype release, and that’s exactly what makes it strong.
