FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology in these trainers?
The GEL™ Technology provides superior shock absorption, cushioning your feet and reducing impact during wear, which enhances overall comfort, especially during prolonged periods of activity or standing.
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for everyday comfort and casual style. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running, which requires specialized performance footwear.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, it's best to use a dry suede brush to remove light dirt. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions carefully. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future stains.
What inspired the design of the Gel-NYC trainers?
The design is a fusion of ASICS archive models, specifically drawing inspiration from the upper design of the GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s and incorporating elements from the GEL-MC PLUS sneaker.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. The mesh upper can absorb moisture, and suede is susceptible to water damage. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. It is advisable to avoid heavy rain.
What is the difference between the GEL-NYC and other ASICS running shoes?
The GEL-NYC focuses on a blend of retro aesthetics and everyday comfort, utilizing GEL™ Technology for cushioning. Other ASICS running shoes might be specifically engineered for high-performance running with different materials, support systems, and lighter weights.
What size should I choose if I'm between UK sizes?
Given the athletic-inspired fit, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to try the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks or for longer durations.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit or discomfort
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different types of socks. If the issue persists after a break-in period, consider a different size or model.
Suede material looks worn or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product instructions. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to prevent future staining.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ technology is designed for longevity, but cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding the intended use for casual wear and light activity.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces can be compromised. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any trapped debris that may affect grip.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual and athletic attire. They are suitable for varied terrains encountered in urban and light trail environments.
Care: To maintain the condition of your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and suede components, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can damage the materials.
- Suede Care: For suede areas, consider using a dedicated suede cleaner and protector spray to maintain their texture and color, and to guard against stains.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the rubber sole and midsole with a damp cloth. Remove any debris lodged in the tread.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can warp or damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
