ASICS and New Balance unveil US Open‑inspired footwear and apparel

ASICS announced the addition‑to‑reservation of its GEL‑NYC “Graphite Grey/Black” sneaker, a mash‑up model that combines elements of the GEL‑NIMBUS 3 and GEL‑MC PLUS V. Reservations open on 6 August at 10:00 a.m., with a retail price of ¥18,700.

New Balance released its New York collection for the US Open, featuring a pleated tennis skirt in heron blue and enoki yellow with an asymmetrical hemline and side pockets, a matching cropped tank, a graphic T‑shirt, and a sleeveless hoodie. The line also introduces the updated FuelCell 996v7 running shoe, which adds an external TPU shank to the midsole and tougher upper materials for better stability and durability. The brand noted that tennis star Coco Gauff will debut a custom outfit at the tournament.

Both releases target tennis players and fans attending the US Open, blending performance features with contemporary style.
