FAQs

Are ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running or sports?

While the GEL-NYC draws inspiration from ASICS' heritage running styles and incorporates GEL technology, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle shoe for everyday comfort and casual wear, not for high-performance athletic running or intense sports activities.

What materials are used in the construction of the GEL-NYC?

The ASICS GEL-NYC features a layered upper construction consisting of a mesh base with suede and leather overlays for both style and durability. The sole unit includes lightweight foams and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?

For mesh and leather areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and maintain its texture. Always air dry away from direct heat.

What is ASICS GEL Technology?

ASICS GEL Technology is a cushioning system designed to absorb shock and provide comfort. In the GEL-NYC, it's strategically placed in the rearfoot and forefoot to deliver advanced support and a softer feel with every step.

Do ASICS GEL-NYC trainers fit true to size?

Generally, ASICS trainers are considered to fit true to size. However, fit can vary slightly by individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit or consulting a size guide if purchasing online.

What inspired the design of the GEL-NYC?

The GEL-NYC is a new silhouette that takes inspiration from a blend of heritage and modern performance running styles. Specifically, its design cues are drawn from iconic models like the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V, combining early 2000s aesthetics with contemporary elements.

Troubleshooting

My shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.

This is common with new footwear, especially those with mixed materials. Wear them for short periods at first to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot. Adjust lacing for optimal comfort.

The light-colored suede or mesh sections are getting dirty quickly.

For light-colored materials, preventive care is key. Consider using a protective spray designed for suede and textile before first wear. For existing dirt, follow the care instructions: use a soft brush for suede and a damp cloth with mild soap for mesh.

I hear a slight squeaking sound when I walk.

Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components or if the insole is slightly loose. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area underneath, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, ensure the shoe is fully dry if it's recently been cleaned or exposed to moisture.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For mesh areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede overlays, use a soft brush designed for suede to remove dirt and restore nap. For leather sections, wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole and midsole.
  3. Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
