Built from a design language rooted in early-2000s running footwear, this refined colourway pairs understated neutral tones with the layered complexity that has made the Gel-NYC one of ASICS’ standout modern silhouettes. With references to heritage models and cushioning engineered for all-day wear, the 'Birch Driftwood' offers a polished balance of nostalgia and functionality. It is a release that speaks to consumers seeking premium comfort without sacrificing visual depth or versatility.\n\nOverview\nThe upper construction draws inspiration from the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3, while incorporating detailing influenced by the GEL-MC PLUS V, creating a multi-panelled aesthetic rich in texture and movement. The 'Birch Driftwood' execution combines soft beige and earthy brown tones, elevated by two-tone suede overlays for a premium finish. Underfoot, the sneaker uses tooling based on the GEL-CUMULUS 16, integrating lightweight foam and visible GEL technology inserts to deliver responsive cushioning and dependable daily comfort. The result is a sneaker equally suited to rotation wear, travel, or casual styling. Authenticity is guaranteed with PUSHAS, where every pair is meticulously authenticated by our team of experts.\n\nKey Highlights\n\nHeritage-Inspired Construction: Upper design references the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V, merging classic ASICS running aesthetics with modern appeal.\nPremium 'Birch Driftwood' Colourway: Neutral beige and brown shades with two-tone suede overlays create an elevated, versatile finish.\nAdvanced Everyday Comfort: GEL-CUMULUS 16-based tooling combines lightweight foam and GEL cushioning inserts for all-day support.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Non-retail (UA-grade), meaning these items are produced in the same factories and to similar specifications as retail versions, but are not sold through authorised brand channels, allowing us to offer them at significantly lower prices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReturns \u0026amp; Exchanges:\u003c\/strong\u003e We offer a 30-day return and refund policy from the date of delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ship worldwide and offer free worldwide shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Images:\u003c\/strong\u003e All images shown are of the actual product and accurately represent what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInspection Requests:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-shipment inspection images can be provided upon request at checkout, which may extend processing times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sole Dept is an independent retailer and is not affiliated with any brands shown, and all trademarks and copyrights belong to their respective owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ASICS","offers":[{"title":"US M 4 \/ W 5.5","offer_id":54000492380478,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 4.5 \/ W 6","offer_id":54000492413246,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5 \/ W 6.5","offer_id":54000492446014,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 5.5 \/ W 7","offer_id":54000492478782,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6 \/ W 7.5","offer_id":54000492511550,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 6.5 \/ W 8","offer_id":54000492544318,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7 \/ W 8.5","offer_id":54000492577086,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 7.5 \/ W 9","offer_id":54000492609854,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8 \/ W 9.5","offer_id":54000492642622,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 8.5 \/ W 10","offer_id":54000492675390,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9 \/ W 10.5","offer_id":54000492708158,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 9.5 \/ W 11","offer_id":54000492740926,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10 \/ W 11.5","offer_id":54000492773694,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 10.5 \/ W 12","offer_id":54000492806462,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11 \/ W 12.5","offer_id":54000492839230,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 11.5 \/ W 13","offer_id":54007740006718,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 12 \/ W 13.5","offer_id":54007740039486,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US M 13 \/ W 14.5","offer_id":54007740072254,"sku":null,"price":245.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/8254\/3166\/files\/ASICS-Gel-NYC-Birch-Driftwood-2026-01.webp?v=1785477025","url":"https:\/\/soledept.com\/products\/asics-gel-nyc-birch-driftwood-2026","provider":"Sole Dept.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
