The gel-nyc 2.0 draws inspiration from classic and modern performance-oriented running models. The upper construction harks back to the gel-1050 sneaker from 2000. The materials have been updated with synthetic leather reinforcements for a modern touch. The newly developed construction is inspired by the gel-1050 and the sole of the gel-lyte DS II for a more casual look. Thanks to the combination of trusstic support units, gel technology inserts and FF Blast Plus cushioning, this midsole construction offers a lighter and more comfortable feel than the first version.
