Full details
The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro running aesthetics and modern urban comfort for daily wear and light activity. Their key benefit lies in the superior cushioning provided by GEL technology and lightweight foam, offering a 'floating on air' sensation.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running?
The GEL-NYC is designed with cushioning inspired by running shoes, making it excellent for daily comfort, walking, and short, light runs. For high-intensity or long-distance running, dedicated running performance shoes are recommended.
How do I clean the white leather and synthetic upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains on synthetic parts, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. For leather accents, use a specialized leather cleaner if necessary.
Are these trainers true to size?
Generally, ASICS trainers are designed to fit true to size. However, it's always recommended to check the specific sizing chart and customer reviews, as fit can vary slightly between models and individuals.
Can I wear these with athletic socks?
Yes, these trainers are designed to be worn with athletic socks for optimal comfort and performance, especially during extended wear or light activity.
What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-NYC design?
The GEL-NYC draws inspiration from heritage ASICS running models like the GEL-MC PLUS V and GEL-NIMBUS 3, combined with the tooling system of the GEL-CUMULUS 16, creating a fusion of classic style and modern comfort.
What kind of outsole grip can I expect?
The trainers feature a durable rubber outsole designed to provide excellent grip and stability on a variety of urban surfaces.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-NYC model is designed with a universal, unisex aesthetic that fits any style, suitable for both men and women.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed and tied securely but not overly tight. If the issue persists, consider the fit of the size.
Discomfort during initial wear.
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure you have the correct size and width.
Squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or the outsole rubbing against the insole. Try drying the shoes thoroughly. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Reduced cushioning effect over time.
The cushioning components (GEL and foam) can degrade with extensive use. Ensure regular cleaning and proper storage. If significant degradation occurs, it may be time to consider replacement.
