Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers remain in optimal condition, avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning agents. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the upper materials and gently wipe down the midsole with a damp, soft cloth. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping or adhesive damage. For sizing, these trainers generally align with standard UK adult sizing, but as a unisex model, potential buyers should check the specific size chart if transitioning from gender-specific sizing.
