ASICS GEL-NYC Pink expressive softness in collaboration with Kicki Yang Zhang
The ASICS GEL-NYC Pink from the Kicki Yang Zhang Pack is a sneaker that is as powerful as it is subtle. Designed in collaboration with Berlin-based artist and fashion icon Kicki Yang Zhang, this edition combines pastel pink tones with a refined, technical silhouette. The result is a sneaker that stands out for its softness without compromising impact.
With this collab, ASICS not only celebrates creativity but also the idea that expression can go hand in hand with functionality. The sneaker is stylish, wearable, and equipped with the trusted technology the GEL-NYC line is known for. The colorway is striking but remains balanced thanks to tonal variation and smart material combinations.
Tonal pink layers with creative layering
The GEL-NYC Pink from this pack uses multiple shades of pink, subtly distributed over mesh, suede, and synthetic leather. The light-reflective panels add depth and movement, while the suede overlays provide extra structure to the design. The tongue and heel feature soft textile accents, which together with the tonal ASICS stripes create a premium look.
Small, almost unnoticeable details such as the branding on the insole and the textured midsole refer to the creative DNA of the collaboration without making the design feel overdone.
Cushioning & fit with a familiar base
As with every GEL-NYC, this edition features GEL cushioning in the heel and forefoot, combined with an EVA midsole that provides light support and springiness. The outsole is sturdy and grippy, suitable for daily use.
The fit is true to size. If you often wear ASICS or retro running sneakers like the 2002R, you can choose your standard size. For wider feet, half a size larger is recommended. The model fits comfortably snug and offers enough room in the forefoot without compromising stability.
Who is this edition intended for?
The GEL-NYC Pink is popular among lovers of minimalist fashion with a playful twist. The color pairs perfectly with soft tones like off-white, gray, or as a contrast with black or navy. This sneaker is eye-catching without being loud, making it suitable for both streetwear and cleaner outfits.
The collaboration with Kicki Yang Zhang also adds a cultural and creative layer: this sneaker is not only a style choice but also an expression of identity and vision. The Pink edition stands out within the GEL-NYC lineup because its color use and materials make a clear statement.
