Which Pink ASICS Shoes Should You Choose?
Pink ASICS Shoes are ASICS Sportstyle sneakers, lifestyle pairs for everyday wear such as commuting and walking around town. The wider range of ASICS sneakers gathers more of the brand's models in one place.
- ASICS GEL-NYC: Leather and suede overlays layered over a mesh upper give the pink pair a textured, multi-panel look.
- ASICS GEL-1130: A mesh upper with suede paneling and the TRUSSTIC support system, which ASICS uses for stability.
Choose the pink ASICS GEL-NYC for the layered leather-and-suede look, or the pink ASICS GEL-1130 for a simpler suede-paneled upper with an added stability feature.
What Makes Pink ASICS Sneakers Unique?
Both pairs turn ASICS running history into sneakers for the street. The GEL-1130 pays homage to the ninth version of the GEL-1000 series, a stability running shoe of the late 2000s, and ASICS lists it as a unisex Sportstyle shoe. The GEL-NYC takes inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles at the same time, setting an upper inspired by heritage ASICS runners on a sole unit taken from another ASICS running shoe.
How to Pick the Right Pair of Pink ASICS
- Stability: Lean toward the GEL-1130 when an added stability feature is on your list, since ASICS lists the TRUSSTIC support system on it.
- Upper texture: The GEL-NYC mixes leather and suede overlays, while the GEL-1130 uses suede paneling, so pick the finish you prefer.
- Intended use: ASICS builds both models as everyday lifestyle sneakers, made for casual days, commuting and walking around town.
What Are the Pink ASICS Shoes Tech Specs?
GEL Cushioning in Pink ASICS Sneakers
The GEL-NYC places GEL technology in both the rearfoot and the forefoot, which ASICS describes as cushioning for comfort in everyday scenarios. The GEL-1130 places GEL, which ASICS describes as a shock-attenuating material, in the midsole for cushioning and shock absorption, and the pink GEL-1130 pairs it with an EVA midsole.
TRUSSTIC Support System in the Pink ASICS GEL-1130
ASICS lists the TRUSSTIC support system on the GEL-1130 to add stability to an everyday shoe.
Mesh Upper With Overlays on Pink ASICS Lifestyle Shoes
The pink GEL-NYC uses a mesh upper with leather and suede overlays, while the pink GEL-1130 adds suede paneling to its mesh. The mesh lets air pass through the upper, and the overlays add structure and design detail. Other GEL-1130 versions use synthetic leather overlays instead, so the materials depend on the exact pair.
GEL-CUMULUS 16 Tooling on the Pink ASICS GEL-NYC
On the lifestyle GEL-NYC, the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling is the base that holds the heel and forefoot GEL, with a rubber outsole for traction on everyday surfaces. The pink GEL-1130 also uses a rubber outsole beneath its midsole.
What Colorways Do Pink ASICS Sneakers Come In?
The ASICS GEL-NYC comes in Pink/Grey, and the ASICS GEL-1130 in Blush/Silver, a light blush tone set against silver.
