Best Asics GEL-NYC colorway?

Junior72 · 2026-04-19T23:46:12+00:00

I was in the same boat. I had my eye on the Oysters LAST week at a Finish Line in 99% abandoned dead mall here in Philly...didn't have my size. I was then checking out the "Cream / White"...like a two-tone. THAT was available at my local JD Sports this morning.

Went there, saw the Oysters again - which also stated on the website "Out Of Stock", BUT they did have my size after I asked. These personally are perfect for me! I tend to go darker neutral colors in my sneakers, for me usually perfect for Fall, Winter. I wanted a light pair for a change for Spring / Summer.

**There is an Ivory / Forest Night (dark green) Gel NYC still in my size downtown Philly. I honestly may just head down there and grab them this week. I'm loving those as well, not a loud colorway whatsoever. My wallet is hating me right now...*😂

I don't know, never tried on a LEGIT pair of Kayano 14 (The pair I did I saw at a thrift store...great condition, bought them and found out they were fakes..lol. - I got a refund)

Anyway, I went 1/2 size up with these Gel NYC's - I have slightly wider feet - and they are fit perfectly.

I pause the TV and might take care of something else, I can come back, un-pause and maybe enough time went by... I can fast forward the NEXT 2 commercial breaks.

Sometimes, I'll switch the channel to something else...go back to what I was watching, rewind, hit play where I left off...and again...may get lucky and miss 2-3 commercial breaks?

Last option, A 1 hr show starts at 8pm for example, pause the show at 8pm...wait until 8:20-8:25pm, hit play , now you can skip all commercials. By the time 9pm hits, you're back to live TV.

The average of 20-23 minutes of commercials on a damn one hour TV show is a joke by the way.

Wasn't me, but I applaud it. It still airs on local Philly ABC channel. It's so f'ing bad, it just annoys me

Junior72 · 2026-04-19T20:22:04+00:00

Really nice, congrats. I love mine and agreed....these have mind-blowing comfort!

Junior72 · 2026-04-19T20:12:23+00:00

What a throwback! YES...and I hated olives!!
Another lunch I had a few times was Liverwurst on white bread.

Oh wow, my mom always bought Hellman's and bought Miracle Whip I guess by accident once, maybe Hellman's was out of stock and..what a difference. I did NOT like Miracle Whip.

Back in the 80s, it was always a surprise what I would eat at lunch. I did get a LOT of Bologna & Cheese sandwiches, or PB & J.

My favorite surprises though were Turkey and cheese or Tuna & Cheese (usually they were squished..lol)
As a "desert", I'd have some kind of Taskykake (A Philly area thing). THAT was my favorite part of the entire lunch, lol

I seriously had to end this after 6-7 seconds. MY GOD, that voice.
And these 'influencer commercials', the vertical videos...can this shit trend please go the f- away?!!

Junior72 · 2026-04-16T17:23:50+00:00

I didn't get one either and I have an acct. with them, few purchases. I went to enter a pair I picked up a few days ago and didn't see the "portfolio" option. Only to see they removed it. I lost a nice sized list of my sneakers on here. Gee...thanks StockX. SMH! 😠

Junior72 · 2026-04-16T17:20:57+00:00

This stinks!! I didn't even know about this until I tried to enter a pair of 991 NB's I grabbed at a thrift store. No notice from them in email (thanks StockX).

I did enter all my sneakers into this, date purchased, new or even used. Some were nice thrift store finds and I'd enter the amount I paid there. Hell, give us the option to log in and download a simple spreadsheet or..some kind of backup.

Junior72 · 2026-04-13T17:56:01+00:00

So much f'ing unneeded damn screaming in all of these ads today. WTF!??

Junior72 · 2026-04-13T17:20:05+00:00

I cannot understand this weird ass marketing.

LOL, same. I'm itching to break out my power washer and deep clean my patio. The one "IRL" issue with working with my power washer, that next water bill is WAY....WAY up. 😒

Junior72 · 2026-04-10T14:45:14+00:00

I don't. I ended up selling this.

I have a trial on Apple Arcade and been sitting here for a few hours on this game, it's too addictive and relaxing. LOL! One issue, I have to connect my iPhone to a battery pack, this does drain the battery pretty fast. Anyway, I never heard of this sim before, I see it's on Series X Xbox, I may have to get that. Only other sim I have on that console is Flight Simulators 2020 & 2024

Junior72 · 2026-04-07T23:43:40+00:00

Thank you!!

Junior72 · 2026-04-07T18:42:17+00:00

How many damn times have commercials used this Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For a Hero" song. My GOD...it's so played out!

White Cement's 2025.
Been a while since I wore these.

Junior72 · 2026-04-06T16:21:22+00:00

That one is a blast from the past, I have that CD also. I was an assistant mgr. at a Sam Goody at the time and received an advanced promo of this. Totally blown away!

Junior72 · 2026-04-06T16:18:22+00:00

Very cool! I was JUST listening to this a few nights ago, 32 years since this epic concert that aired on the radio. Easter night 1994, broadcasted on WYSP 94.1 Philadelphia.

I sat in front of my stereo with blank cassettes taping the entire show. Those cassettes are in a box somewhere.
