This should be a constant series, most comfortable shoes! We all get it Jordan’s are cool retros are cool but comfortable shoes is what we all need let’s be honest!
WT introduced me to Ultraboost, NB 990, Vomeros and now these. All of them have been more comfortable than the next. I'm all here for it as an old sneakerhead.
Exactly! I’ve got a decent little collection of heat but I’m always looking to find the best walking around shoes for daily wear and vacation shoes for places like Vegas or Florida where you walk nonstop. We getting old we need comfortable options!
This channel is the place for all the vibes, it’s not even just a sneaker review channel for me anymore, it’s THE channel for just good times, chilling, listening to you guys chat and laugh, the funny cartoon and meme inserts, sneakers that are affordable not hyped up collabs that everyone can grab a pair of. I love this channel, I love you guys and I LOVE watching every video! You make me want to buy every shoe you review! Why? Because you the G.O.A.T.S. and if you sign off on them, we all sign off on them! ❤️
And it’s called Gel NYC because it was originally a collaboration between Awake NYC and ASICS, having Angelo Baque working on the design. One of the best models ASICS has right now along with the 1130
2002rd go hard and are so comfortable So comfortable as you get older I need comfort! If I get these Jordan 4 military blue that would be the last Jordan I would buy for a good minute still I need comfort!
@@RANDOMZBOSSMAN1 man 2002rs kill me feet right around my big toe. I think I've gotten to use to ultra boost over the years but lately they been making my feet sweat way to much
Asics and New Balance blow Adidas and Nike/Jordan out the water when it comes to comfort and materal for the price imo. Even their collabs feel more selective and unique than other brands too imo.
Agreed, I bought the 2002r which is pretty much the “budget” high end model for New Balance and man… they outdid themselves with that model, genuine pigskin suede, proper leather on a shoe, I’ve never had that kind of quality in any of the more trending sneakers I’ve owned.
These are pretty! Also. HELL YES FOR CHAPTERS! Best new smell is new house. Followed by new car. New sneakers is an absolute favorite smell, but cars and homes have so much significance.
I only just turned 22 and remember loving a pair of Gel-Lyte iii’s I had growing up when I wasn’t into shoes as much (back then they were really affordable and were just my everyday beaters that held up for a long time) but this video helped me decide to pull the trigger on this pair because I haven’t owned a pair of ASICS in my adult life , I’m excited to get them tomorrow and got a steal on StockX (the price of this colorway was $121 and fees and shipping it came to $150) and got lucky because all the other sales afterwards are like $175 and one pair going for $248, I doubt they will sell quickly with ppl seeing the last sale was $121
Lol I went and ordered this exact pair before I was done with the video. ZERO regret. I have a closet full of shoes and these are tied as my favorite pair rn. The only pair of shoes I have that are this comfortable are Vomero 5's.
QOTD: Best to worst: new cars - books - sneakers - toys. Asics has always been great. And this Gel-NYC is a nice looking model. I did some looking around online and as Chris said, there are a bunch of cool colorways. When my Vomeros have worn out, this are a contender for my next cushiony casual running shoe. Thanks for the review and for bringing this pair to my attention. I appreciate everything you two do--have a like and a comment for the algorithm!
I've always been a fan of Asics. I currently have a pair of Asics for running. With everyone usually wearing either Nike, Adidas, or New Balance, I love to rock these shoes because they're different. I love the smell of a new car, mainly because it's not something I encounter often. While I love the smell of new sneakers, I smell new sneakers more frequently, whereas it's not often I'm in a new car, so that smell activates the nostalgia neurons.
There's actually a very good reason why smells triggers memories! The olfactory bulb, which is the brain region that processes smells, connects directly to the amygdala and hippocampus which are responsible for emotions and memories respectively. On a side note, I've been waiting for these to go on sale for sooooo long...
100% agree with your take on the Gel-NYC. They are easily one of the most comfortable silhouettes I own and I own a lot of comfortable shoes lol I'm wearing a pair right now actually and i have 4 total i love them so much. Glad to see they're starting to get some shine. I feel like they've been in the shadow of more popular Asics models of the last year but I think people are starting to come around. The Hidden NY model that just dropped really shone a spotlight on them.
1: sneakers 2: books 3: new cars (some good, some bad) 4: toys ( no memories jumping out of new toys ) * The exhaust of a '78 bronco when my grandfather was plowing the driveway
I have the Bodega collab on these and it's amazing, one of my favorite pickups from 2023. And I agree that like every colorway has been great and I'm always struck by how good the Bodega looks on foot.
I've been side-eyeing this model for a long time and it's nice to see you guys finally cover it. Only reason I don't have a pair yet is because there just aren't any nice colourways like this one in the usual Foot Lockers and JDs and all those typical places you get sneakers from. If I had to rank those smells from best to "worst", it would be: books, sneakers, new cars, and toys. Toys only rank at the bottom because I've never owned a toy that really smelled like anything before, except maybe a faint scent of iron from all the diecast toys I own.
These and the Kayano 14’s are the most comfortable models in my collection hands down. love to see the variety in these videos, great work and keep up the bangers🔥
Awesome you picked my question and agree with the order as well. Comics smell will always be a trigger to childhood. Keep up the great work! Favorite sneaker review channel out there
I’ve yet to try ASICS casual wear but that’s why I rock NB’s. Comfortability is so important for me now when I wear shoes so if ASICS starts coming out with heat and they feel good on my feet then I count that as a big big win!
The shoes look dope…glad they seem to feel even better! As far as scents go….among the 4…sneakers go number 1 for sure! That’s has so many memories …especially if you then tie in specific models. Then maybe new car, comics and then toys….I don’t necessarily have memories tied to scents for comics and toys…more visual and touch. However, when you throw in food…now that’s a game changer…..the smell of fried garlic and onions are almost unmatched ….same with fried chicken! It also doesn’t hurt that a lot of scent and smell/ aroma is tied into taste …..mint is the best example. You’re not weird Chris.,..the smell of freshly cut wood is nice, especially certain kinds of wood like cider and pine, etc. Greese and motor oil, tobacco…etc. I wouldn’t want I’ll do if I ever lost my sense of smell and taste.
I use to work for Footaction back in the day.....yes bro Asics feel so good, definitely some of the most comfortable shoes ever. Need to grab me a pair
Asics gel nimbus 25s are the most comfortable shoes I've ever had. I'm itching to try the New Balance 1080 v13s since I've heard nothing but great things about the comfort. These definitely seem more durable than both of those though.👍
Love new car smell and new sneaker smell. What I really remember and liked a lot was the smell of a brand new baseball glove. Brings back a ton of great memories. Chris, you are correct, it's clinically proven that the sense of smell is one of the most powerful memory triggers.
Asics is a great brand, and shoes are comfortable and well made. I got a pari of Gel-NYC last November and wore them almost everyday, with a good cleaning. They look like new. But I don't agree with the sizing in review. The shoes are relatively narrow, so for wide feet, you should get half size up.
The attention to detail with the quality materials is just beautiful 🥹. It’s like they were built with passion and care. My main turn- off with ASICS was the small application of the gel where the gel would only be at the edge instead of actually under your foot imo. But the gel window at least lets you know you’re going to feel that plush cushion 😊
The Gel-NYC has been my favorite Asics model since it came out. I been Tryna get few people on em before they become super popular mainstream wise but. I wear mine to work, workout, fishing and plenty of other things and it's the one shoe where my feet never feel like they're hurting. Also probably my favorite smelling shoe out the box haha.
Smell is a crazy sense - did you know that Skittles are not actually flavored with different tastes but rather they have a different scent that tricks you into thinking they have a different taste? If you eat them with your nose plugged - they all taste the same. Question of the day: Would you rather be a walk on in a move that wins an Oscar or the lead in a move that bombs?
If you like these you may also like what Mizuno does with their SportsStyle line. Great materials, high build quality, super consistent sizing, nice design 👌
I have plenty of Jordans because of the sentimental value but everything else I have is ASICS. Dear God, you can never go wrong or be uncomfortable with them, never.
My ranking is a bit off the list but here goes: first rain of monsoon, fresh cut grass, books, shoes. QOTD recommendation: If basketball was not a sport, what other sport would you choose to performance review shoes?
I recently bought the ASICS NYC a couple months ago. Love them out the box! I got the oyster cw and thinking of doubling up and also getting the ivy cw!
I tried on a pair on gel nyc a few months ago and love everything about them. Looks fire, comfortable, and materials fire, just waiting to see if they get discounted. Id say sneakers, car, trading cards, books, toys. Not to sure what a new toy smells like but i guess some toys probably have a smell from releasing the air out of the packaging.
Asics Gel NYC is probably one of the best sneaker model that was launched last year but not many people were paying too much attention to it as it is Asics! ❤
I have this, the NB 2002 and Nike Waffle One. The Asics Gel-NYC is the least comfortable of the bunch (#1 NB and Nike #2). In fact, I wouldn't classify them as one of the most comfortable sneakers. They are standard. NB 2002 is way more comfortable (overall comfort, not squishy sole comfort) and has much better build quality. But, I agree the NYC has way more colorways that looks good.
@@UyeroYama daily use I like NB 2002 for overall comfort and for jogging NB 1080v13. I went from wearing Nike and Adidas to NB for comfort, maybe because I'm getting older 😂
@@JorisSatyadharma yeahh me too, age never lies hahaha. I've try 2002r and its comfort but i like nyc colorways and must buy online :( . never try it. Still confused about the comfortable of nyc
bought myself a pair last year as my knee was hurting, its too painful to walk in a pair of jordans the effect is immediate that it eased my pain while walking and prolonged standing now my everyday sneakers
Im with Jody on the new car smell being nauseating. I would get bad headaches from the smell of a new car, plus there was a news report saying its not good to breathe in those new chemical smells when you get a new car, which makes sense. Opening all the windows and airing out the car every time you drive for a month I believe is best. Comic books do have that sweet smell to them which is very nice, and of course the glue and fabrics of new sneakers is always great.
Lots of Asics are too narrow for me but their QC has been consistently great on mine, no extra glue or messy paint like some brands. I like new car smell, even if it is just off gassing plastic. I will say my Toyota has a specific smell and it was pretty different than my wife’s Ford’s. We need new car smell sommeliers. Also fresh cut grass is an all time great smell.
What you said about comic books That's how I feel about vinyl records when I dig through my crates the smell of the covers & records the nostalgia rushes back
I remember the distinct smell of my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures from the 90s. This smell is memorable because it takes me back to my childhood when I used to spend time with my grandparents in North Carolina. They would take me to the arcade where I would play X-Men and TMNT video games and jump into the ball pits. Afterward, we would go to buffets where I would get vanilla ice cream and add gummy worms on top. During the car ride home, I would usually sit in the backseat pretending to be the navigator, but my grandparents would call me the alligator because thats what i thought it was the alligator.😂 They would play oldies, and it would be late, and the windows would be cracked, letting in the cool southern night air and all those lovely outside smells. Whenever I would open up a TMNT action figure, the smell of the same materials would immediately bring back all these memories.
Would be keen to see a review on the Asics EX89, especially the mid top. Interested in them but hoping to find out if the sole is more pliable than the NB 550/650, which was way too stiff for me.
I have a pair of the awake NYC collab in that cotton candy colorway and this video made me want to finally unds them. Materials are so nice, just great overall. QOTD: Sneakers, car, book, toy. Random scent: Jersey shore town smell. Being from Philly, we would go during the sunmers.
A great shoe review but an even better question for the day! The scents that gives me the feels are: 1. The smell of coffee 2. The smell of fresh cut grass 3. The smell of sauteed onion & garlic 4 . The smell of leather
I just got my first pair of Gel-NYCs, I love them! I agree with you Chris, it’s worth every penny. We got my pair for $100 with a discount at Concepts in Boston! Great video as always 🧡
I just recently started running 4-6 miles daily and I can’t find a better shoe than any of my Kobe models to complete my mission. But I’ve been noticing these a lot lately. Not even my running huaraches feel comfortable by the end of my run. So by this review I’m thinking I should try a pair 👀
There's something so distinct about the smell of old school screwdrivers, whenever I smell one it makes me think about helping my dad work on things as a kid.
Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?
This should be a constant series, most comfortable shoes! We all get it Jordan’s are cool retros are cool but comfortable shoes is what we all need let’s be honest!
Definitely. I can only own so many pairs of uncomfortable shoes
WT introduced me to Ultraboost, NB 990, Vomeros and now these. All of them have been more comfortable than the next. I'm all here for it as an old sneakerhead.

The editing of cartoons from yesteryear and for comic relief like at 1:55 it’s informative as well as entertaining beyond comparison.

I was not interested until you focused on the suede detailing, wow now I may get them on my list
Your reviews and vibes are the best on the scene…I come to hear bout the shoes and keep coming back for the cuts and back and forth
Thank you 🙏
Asics is doing great stuff on the running side too. It's currently a company firing on all cylinders so I look forward to every release.

Im with Jody on the new car smell being nauseating. I would get bad headaches from the smell of a new car, plus there was a news report saying its not good to breathe in those new chemical smells when you get a new car, which makes sense. Opening all the windows and airing out the car every time you drive for a month I believe is best.
Comic books do have that sweet smell to them which is very nice, and of course the glue and fabrics of new sneakers is always great.

During the car ride home, I would usually sit in the backseat pretending to be the navigator, but my grandparents would call me the alligator because thats what i thought it was the alligator.😂 They would play oldies, and it would be late, and the windows would be cracked, letting in the cool southern night air and all those lovely outside smells. Whenever I would open up a TMNT action figure, the smell of the same materials would immediately bring back all these memories.
Another banger from the Wear testers team
CHRIS YOU MUST TRY THEIR BASKETBALL SHOES, THOSE ARE 100% BAD BOYS!!!!
Awesome! You mentioned Moss Man!!!!
in terms of running shoes, ive been all asics since 2018. also shoutout to them for making widefeet ver.
Another great review!! Hand down my favorite channel.
Would be keen to see a review on the Asics EX89, especially the mid top. Interested in them but hoping to find out if the sole is more pliable than the NB 550/650, which was way too stiff for me.
Awesome to see a ASICS review by you guys!
I've had a pair for over a year now, still my most comfortable shoe I own among new balance, Salomon's, Birkenstocks etc ...
I have a pair of the awake NYC collab in that cotton candy colorway and this video made me want to finally unds them. Materials are so nice, just great overall. QOTD: Sneakers, car, book, toy. Random scent: Jersey shore town smell. Being from Philly, we would go during the sunmers.
He’ll yea!!! My favorite shoe to wear for comfort. And they look cool too. The 1130 is great as well.
Love my pair, comfortable and nice materials. The wide mesh pack is the best of the bunch
A great shoe review but an even better question for the day! The scents that gives me the feels are:
1. The smell of coffee
2. The smell of fresh cut grass
3. The smell of sauteed onion & garlic
4 . The smell of leather
Your t-shirt is awesome where did u get it?
Great job as always! Those are very good indeed!
I just got my first pair of Gel-NYCs, I love them! I agree with you Chris, it’s worth every penny. We got my pair for $100 with a discount at Concepts in Boston! Great video as always 🧡
Very comfortable shoes and stylish. My favorite, I can't stop buying them 😂
I like that it’s something different here. Also, would not mind you reviewing the 1130, kayano 14, and the 2160.
Old pipe tobacco is my all time favorite smell
Try Mizuno Waverider 10s!
I'm about to mow my yard SO HARD in these, it's going to be glorious
Another fanatic shoe breakdown. I have 3 Asics' shoes on my wishlist. I can't wait to cop.
I just recently started running 4-6 miles daily and I can’t find a better shoe than any of my Kobe models to complete my mission. But I’ve been noticing these a lot lately. Not even my running huaraches feel comfortable by the end of my run. So by this review I’m thinking I should try a pair 👀
Sneakers
Comics
Cars
Books is my ranking
I'm scheming on some Gel-NYCs, hope they have a Navy color soon.
Been rocking these for a min and love em! Glad to see them get some hooper love too
There's something so distinct about the smell of old school screwdrivers, whenever I smell one it makes me think about helping my dad work on things as a kid.
Leaving my question again, since it was ❤ed by you two... QUESTION: If you could have one shoe come back every 2-3 years with necessary interior tech/luxury improvements... What would that shoe be?
Whatttt an asics video!? You should try out the Gel-1130 and GT-2160. Those two are madddd comfy and look dope on feet.
