ASICS Gel-NYC Storm Cloud Pure Silver

The ASICS Gel-NYC Storm Cloud Pure Silver plays with cool greys: Storm Cloud, a bluish grey like a heavy sky, on the suede and synthetic panels over a mesh base, with layers in Pure Silver that catch the light. The padded collar, flat laces and embroidered GEL logo on the heel complete a trainer with plenty of visible technical detail.

The Gel-NYC blends three ASICS archive models: the upper references the GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s, adds trims from the GEL-MC PLUS V and sits on the sole of the GEL-CUMULUS 16, with GEL in the heel and forefoot and SpEVA and SOLYTE foams.

• Upper: mesh with suede and synthetic overlays
• Cushioning: GEL front and rear
• Midsole: SpEVA and SOLYTE foams
• Outsole: rubber
• Style code: 1203A739-401

Ideas for wearing it: with stonewashed grey jeans and a black nylon windbreaker, or with drawstring tech trousers and a navy fleece. The silver also pairs with a long grey satin skirt and an oversized sweatshirt.

Care: clean the mesh with a soft brush and lukewarm soapy water; the suede, dry.
