Continuing their impeccable streak of brilliant collaborations, ASICS links up with legendary Japanese label Needles for a stunning take on the GEL-NYC. Drafted with a black ballistic mesh base, the upper is layered with multiple layers of premium black leather, accented by contrast stitching in Needles’ signature purple tone. Speckled round laces track the tongue to embroidered logos, while on the heels we find embroidered Needles butterflies. Layered underfoot, we find a full-length GEL midsole for al-day comfort layered above a rubber outsole. ASICS SportStyle x Needles GEL-NYC
