The ASICS Gel NYC 'Black Graphite' features a breathable black mesh upper with tonal leather paneling. Neutral grey accents make their way to durable synthetic overlays, as well as the tiger stripes that sweep across the side panel. A two-tone EVA midsole packs visible Gel cushioning in the forefoot and heel. Underfoot, a segmented rubber outsole provides a blend of flexibility and grippy traction.
