Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ASICS GEL-NYC shoes:
Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove dirt and debris from the mesh and suede surfaces after each wear.
Suede Protection: For the suede sections, consider using a specialized suede brush to restore the nap and a suede protector spray to repel water and stains. Apply before first wear and reapply periodically.
Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, lightly dampen a clean cloth with mild soap and water (or a sneaker cleaner specifically for mixed materials). Gently dab the stained area, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid saturating the suede.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the structural integrity and materials of the shoes.
