The ASICS GEL-NYC "Cream/Grey" Grade School Boys' shoe sources inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles.​<br /> <br /> Its upper construction references the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 shoe from the early 2000s and blends it with various embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS™ V design.​<br /> <br /> The tooling contrasts the upper's retro influences by using the GEL-CUMULUS® 16 shoe's tooling system. Through a combination of lightweight foams and GEL® technology inserts, this midsole formation helps create advanced underfoot comfort. <ul> <li>Upper is inspired by the GEL-NIMBUS® 3 and GEL-MC PLUS™ V shoes</li> <li>GEL-CUMULUS® 16 tooling</li> <li>Rearfoot and forefoot GEL® technology</li> <li>For comfort in everyday scenarios</li> </ul>
