This version of the ASICS Gel-NYC is made with a combination of mesh for the base and suede overlays. Cream mesh makes up the base of the shoe, while smooth overlays in Arctic Sky light blue form the overlays that support the upper. Suede darker blue overlays appear on top of these light blue ones to form the toe cap and mudguard and support the eyestays. The ASICS logo appears in purple on the lateral heel and on the tongue, while GEL branding also appears in purple on the back of the heel. The shoe is equipped with Gel technology for energy return and cushioning. The midsole is gray and white.
