Full details
The ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers in Grey are designed for the adult male seeking a blend of retro running aesthetics and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit is a lightweight, cushioned feel combined with a stylish, layered design. A potential consideration is their standard width, which may not suit all foot shapes. This model merges early 2000s running shoe design with contemporary features, offering a breathable mesh upper, suede overlays, and advanced cushioning for a comfortable experience.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers are primarily designed for everyday use and light walking. While they incorporate running-inspired DNA and cushioning, they are not intended for high-performance running activities. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with a very mild soap solution, then allow to air dry completely before brushing again.
What is the main difference between the Gel-NYC and Gel-NYC 2.0 models?
The Gel-NYC 2.0 builds upon the original by refining the design with updated cushioning (FF Blast™ Plus) and integrating features inspired by the GEL-1050 model for a contemporary look and feel, while maintaining the core elements of comfort and everyday wearability.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede overlays and cushioning systems. Hand washing or spot cleaning is the preferred method.
What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
For everyday comfort, standard athletic or casual socks work well. If you find the fit slightly snug, consider thinner socks. The breathable mesh upper will help manage moisture regardless of sock type.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Gel-NYC 2.0 features a Trusstic System® for midfoot stability. While they provide a comfortable foundation for everyday wear, individuals requiring significant arch support might consider adding custom or over-the-counter insoles.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Try wearing them with thinner socks or ensure you have the correct size. Break them in gradually with short periods of wear. If discomfort persists, they may not be suitable for your foot shape.
Suede appears scuffed or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush or eraser to gently lift the nap and remove marks. For persistent dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used cautiously, followed by air drying and brushing.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
The FF Blast™ Plus cushioning and GEL® technology are designed for durability, but cushioning can naturally reduce with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear if used daily for demanding activities.
Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, grip can be compromised on very wet or slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh and suede. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with mild soap.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, consider using a suede brush or eraser to maintain texture and remove scuffs. Protectants specifically for suede can help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain shape.
