The Naruto x Asics Gel-NYC “Naruto Uzumaki” 1203A487-001 collaboration is ready to set the sneaker community ablaze. This shoe honors Naruto’s Sage Mode and the climax of the Pain arc, drawing inspiration from the GEL-NYC™. Launched in January 2023 by the Japanese brand, the GEL-NYC™ offers a fusion of performance and anime-inspired aesthetics.
The Gel-NYC “Naruto Uzumaki” showcases details that capture the essence of the beloved anime character. The sneaker boasts a unique lace lock decorated with Naruto’s scroll, a key emblem in the Naruto universe. The design also includes a scratch pattern that reflects a mix of Eastern and Western influences and a dubrae featuring the Leaf Village logo. Naruto Uzumaki’s own logo adorns the shoe’s tongue, making it a sought-after item for fans and collectors.
In terms of colour, the sneaker pairs a black base with vibrant orange and fuchsia, mirroring Naruto’s iconic costume. This striking colour scheme not only creates a visual impact but also strengthens the shoe’s link to its anime origins.
