The GEL-NYC™ sneaker draws inspiration from both classic and contemporary running designs. Its upper design pays homage to the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 shoe of the early 2000s and combines it with elements from the MC-PLUS V design. The midsole takes a modern approach with the use of the GEL-CUMULUS® 16 shoe's tooling system, utilizing lightweight foams and GEL® technology for superior underfoot comfort.
