Gel NYC 2055 'White Menthol'

Description:

The ASICS Gel-NYC 2055 ‘White Menthol’ (style code 1203A542-105) is a retro-inspired lifestyle runner that blends early-2000s performance design cues with modern cushioning and comfort.

The upper is built with a breathable white mesh base, layered with synthetic and suede-like overlays that form the ASICS stripe structure and frame the shoe’s panels. The “White Menthol” accents appear in soft mint tones across the side branding, heel, and select detailing, giving the shoe a clean but slightly fresh pop of color without overpowering the neutral base.

Underfoot, it uses a foam midsole combined with visible GEL cushioning units, designed to provide soft impact absorption and steady comfort for daily wear. The tooling is taken from ASICS’ performance running heritage, which is why the shoe feels more technical than a typical lifestyle sneaker. A durable rubber outsole completes the build for grip and long-term wear.

Overall, this colorway is popular because it sits in a versatile zone: mostly white and grey, but with just enough menthol accents to make it stand out slightly without being hard to style.

It was released in 2025 and retailed around 130 dollars.
