The GEL-NYC™ 2.0 sneaker sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles.
Its upper construction references the GEL-1050™ sneaker from the year 2000. The materials are also updated with suede overlays for a modern finish.
The newly designed tooling references the GEL-1050™ sneaker, as well as the GEL-LYTE™ DS II shoe outsole influences for lifestyle purposes. Through a combination of TRUSSTIC™ support units, GEL™ technology inserts, and FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, this midsole formation creates a lighter and more comfortable feel than the first version.
- Upper is inspired by the GEL-1050™ shoes.
- Suede overlays for a premium, heritage feel.
- Rearfoot and forefoot GEL™ technology: Shock-attenuating material placed in the midsole of the shoe for cushioning and shock absorption.
- FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning: This foam from our running collection has been re-tuned for everyday purposes. It's softer, bouncier, and lighter than standard cushioning materials.
- TPU TRUSSTIC™ technology: This support unit helps increase stability.
- Walking-specific flex grooves to support natural movement.
- Smooth heel to toe transition: Angled heel softens heel contact with the ground and facilitates more natural heel to toe transitions.
