For adults seeking stylish and exceptionally comfortable footwear, the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers offer a unique blend of heritage and modern design. Its key win is the advanced underfoot comfort provided by strategic GEL technology. However, the suede material requires specific care to maintain its pristine appearance. These trainers intricately weave inspiration from past models like the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V for the upper, while the midsole engineering borrows from the GEL-CUMULUS 16, ensuring a harmonious blend of aesthetics and cutting-edge cushioning.

Maintaining the suede upper is crucial for the longevity and appearance of your GEL-NYC trainers:
Initial Protection: Before the first wear, apply a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede. This creates a protective barrier against moisture and dirt.
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove loose dirt and dust from the surface after each use. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
Spot Cleaning: For specific stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner following the product's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help retain their original shape and prevent creasing.
