FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the GEL-NYC 2.0 design?
The design of the GEL-NYC 2.0 sneakers is inspired by a combination of ASICS' heritage running styles and modern performance running technology.
What type of cushioning technology is used in the midsole?
The midsole features FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning for a lighter and more comfortable feel, along with GEL™ technology inserts for shock absorption.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support for daily wear and light training, they are primarily designed for casual use and are not optimized for long-distance or competitive running.
How do the TRUSSTIC™ support units function?
TRUSSTIC™ support units are integrated into the midsole to provide stability and prevent excessive twisting of the shoe, enhancing overall support.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed with a breathable mesh material complemented by durable leather overlays.
Can these sneakers be worn in wet conditions?
The mesh and leather construction offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to ASICS' official sizing chart, which typically correlates your foot length measurement to the corresponding UK size. The provided size information is UK 8.5.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if needed.
Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time.
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from debris that might impact the cushioning system. Excessive wear and tear may naturally reduce cushioning; consider replacement if significant degradation occurs.
Material scuffing or damage.
Avoid abrasive surfaces. Clean scuffs gently with a damp cloth. For leather overlays, a leather conditioner can help maintain their appearance.
