FAQs
What is the main difference between GEL-NYC and GEL-NYC 2.0?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 features a midsole formation with TRUSSTIC™ support units, GEL™ technology inserts, and FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, aiming for a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the first version.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and light activities, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers inspired by running styles, not for dedicated long-distance running.
How do I determine my correct UK shoe size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. It's generally recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the corresponding UK size. Trying them on is the most reliable method.
Can I machine wash these sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?
Any comfortable socks suitable for trainers will work. For maximum comfort and to prevent blisters, consider athletic or moisture-wicking socks.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a breathable Mesh material combined with supportive Leather Overlays.
How do the TRUSSTIC™ Support Units help?
The TRUSSTIC™ Support Units are integrated into the midsole to provide enhanced stability and torsional rigidity, preventing excessive twisting of the foot.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or loosening the laces. The shoe may also loosen slightly with wear.
Slight squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or ensure all parts of the shoe are dry. If persistent, consult retailer.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL™ and FF BLAST™ PLUS are durable, cushioning can reduce with extensive wear. Consider replacing shoes after significant mileage or when comfort noticeably decreases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and performance. It is recommended to try them on indoors before use to confirm fit.
Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 is designed as an adult men's trainer suitable for everyday wear, walking, and light athletic activities. It is compatible with various casual outfits.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to clean the mesh and leather upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
