ASICS Gel-NYC Black Fjord Grey

The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 Cream Black is an industrial-style sneaker that was originally designed for distance running. It features a Cream base with accents in black and metallic silver.

Unlike other versions of the Y2K-inspired Gel-Nimbus 9, the Cream Black ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 doesn’t have color blocking or bold contrast. Instead, the tiger stripe overlays streaks across the side panels and crisscross the airy mesh upper. The overlays are crafted from durable leather, while the inner lining is made from a synthetic material. A front lace closure system secures the fit, while padding in the collar protects the ankle.

Something our experts at StockX like is the segmented midsole, which features gel inserts in the heel and forefoot. These gel inserts provide cushioning on a variety of surfaces ranging from pavement to dirt. Plus, the segmented design supports stability and stable steps. The ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 Cream Black was released on January 1, 2024, and sold for $160.
