The Asics men's collection at Uptown Store embodies Japanese technical excellence at the service of urban style. Between iconic running silhouettes and reactivated performance archives, our selection of Asics sneakers brings together the models that shaped contemporary chunky aesthetics and continue to dominate the international lifestyle scene. From the Gel-Kayano 14 to the Gel-NYC, each pair testifies to authentic running expertise transposed into a desirable streetwear piece.

Gel-Kayano 14 and Gel-Kayano 20: premium running heritage

The Gel-Kayano 14 represents the pinnacle of the Asics performance line from the 2000s. Birch Pure Silver, Carrier Grey Black, White Graphite Grey: the colorways we offer prioritize neutral tones and subtle contrasts, far from flashiness. The multi-layered construction in technical mesh, leather and synthetic materials offers the characteristic visual complexity of current premium men's sneakers. The dual visible Gel system at the heel and forefoot serves more than aesthetics, guaranteeing exceptional cushioning comfort. The Gel-Kayano 20 extends this logic with Smoke Grey Black and White Raspberry variants, adding an even more pronounced technical dimension with its visible DuoMax overlays and high-density Contagrip sole.

Gel-NYC and Gel-NYC 2.0: the reference chunky silhouette

The Gel-NYC hybridizes two major running archives in a maximum chunky silhouette. Cream Cloud Grey, Cream Oyster Grey, Barely Rose: the available colorways exploit neutral bases and pastel accents, aesthetic signature of Asics on its lifestyle models. The Gel-NYC 2.0 version pushes the logic even further with combinations like Cocoa Powder Brown Storm, Oatmeal Umeboshi or White Feather Grey. These sophisticated chromatic variations rely on an identical technical base: complex multi-layer profile, dual visible gel, all-terrain construction borrowed from trail models. It's the most visually assertive Asics men's sneaker in our selection, the one that fully embraces 90s chunky heritage.

Gel-Cumulus 16: the refined running alternative

The Gel-Cumulus 16 offers a more understated approach to running lifestyle. Cream Illusion Blue, Pink Cloud Pure Silver, Storm Cloud Pure Silver, White Cream, Port Royal: the chromatic range prioritizes light bases and discrete accents. The silhouette is less architectured than the Kayano or NYC, with a classic running profile and dominant breathable mesh construction. The Gel system remains visible at the heel, but the overall impression conveys a technical simplicity that appeals to those seeking a versatile Asics sneaker, capable of working equally well in a streetwear outfit or more minimal look. The Cream Beniimo Purple and White Midnight versions bring controlled color touches without tipping into exuberance.

Why Asics dominates the running lifestyle segment

The strength of men's Asics shoes rests on undeniable technical legitimacy. Each model we offer first existed as a performance tool for demanding runners before becoming a style piece. The Gel-Kayano was a premium stability sneaker, the Gel-Cumulus a neutral road model, the Gel-NYC a hybrid of trail and urban running archives. This technical authenticity shines through in construction: SpEVA intermediate soles, structural reinforcements, breathable and sustainable materials. Unlike lifestyle silhouettes manufactured from scratch to meet fashion demand, Asics men's running shoes carry within them a history of R&D and innovation that gives them rare narrative depth. This is precisely what discerning streetwear clientele seeks.

Frequently asked questions

Our Asics Men's collection features 67 pairs and focuses on the iconic models from the Japanese brand: GEL-Kayano 14 and 20, GEL-Cumulus 16, as well as the GEL-NYC and GEL-NYC 2.0. You'll find a variety of colorways such as Birch/Pure Silver, Cream/Illusion Blue, White/Graphite Grey, and Cocoa Powder/Brown Storm. Each model combines Asics' running heritage with a contemporary streetwear aesthetic.

The GEL-NYC 2.0 represents an evolution of the original model with a reworked upper structure and redesigned panels for a more assertive look. Both models share the same signature GEL cushioning technology, but the 2.0 version offers bolder material combinations, particularly visible in colorways such as Oatmeal/Umeboshi or Cocoa Powder/Brown Storm. Your choice depends on your preference between the refined elegance of the original NYC or the more technical character of the 2.0.

Asics models generally fit true to your usual size, with a rather generous fit in the forefoot typical of running shoes. If you hesitate between two sizes or have wide feet, we recommend visiting our store at 21 rue Léon Nautin in Saint-Étienne for a personalized fitting. Our team is thoroughly familiar with the specifics of each GEL-Kayano, Cumulus, and NYC model to advise you best.

The GEL-Kayano 14 has become a reference in the sneaker world thanks to its authentic Y2K design and technical construction from high-level running. This model offers exceptional cushioning via GEL technology at the forefoot and heel, reinforced stability, and long-lasting comfort. Available colorways at Uptown such as Birch/Pure Silver or White/Graphite Grey make it a versatile piece that works equally well with a sportswear style or more formal attire.

Asics models combining breathable mesh and synthetic overlays require delicate care to preserve their performance and appearance. Clean them with a soft brush, lukewarm water, and mild soap, absolutely avoiding the washing machine which could damage the support structures. Let them air dry, never near a direct heat source, and use shoe trees to maintain their original shape, particularly important for the GEL-Cumulus 16 models with more flexible structures.

Absolutely, the GEL-Cumulus 16 is perfect for everyday wear thanks to its cushioned comfort and versatility. Originally designed for long-distance running, it offers exceptional comfort for city walks while bringing a distinctive retro touch with colorways like Cream/Beniimo Purple or Pink Cloud/Pure Silver. Its generous midsole absorbs daily impacts, making it an excellent choice for those seeking style and comfort all day long.
