FAQs
How should I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?
For mesh and synthetic parts, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner. Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
The GEL-NYC trainers are inspired by running heritage and feature advanced cushioning for comfort, making them suitable for light athletic activities and everyday wear. However, for serious or high-performance running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe lines designed for specific athletic demands.
What is 'GEL technology'?
ASICS GEL technology involves strategically placed GEL units in the midsole to absorb shock, offering superior cushioning and comfort during impact, providing a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off.
What materials are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers made from?
The upper typically features a blend of mesh, leather, and suede overlays, along with synthetic materials. The sole unit comprises a spongy foam midsole with GEL inserts and a durable rubber outsole.
Do these trainers run true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size, but fit can vary based on individual foot shape. We recommend trying them on or consulting a size guide if unsure. This specific variant is UK 10.5.
Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?
While the trainers offer durability, the mixed material upper, including mesh and suede, is not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Heavy rain or muddy environments may require more extensive cleaning and could potentially damage the materials over time.
What is the design inspiration for the GEL-NYC?
The GEL-NYC takes inspiration from various ASICS heritage models, notably blending design cues from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 upper with elements from the MC-PLUS V and the tooling system of the GEL-CUMULUS 16 for its lightweight comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Ensure laces are evenly tensioned across your foot. Experiment with different lacing patterns if discomfort persists. Ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
Squeaking sound while walking.
Check if there's any debris trapped in the outsole grooves. If the squeak is from the insole, try removing and reinserting it, or apply a small amount of baby powder underneath the insole to reduce friction.
Upper materials appear dirty or stained.
Identify the material type (mesh, leather, suede) and use appropriate cleaning methods as described in the 'Care' section. Act quickly on stains for best results.
Lack of grip on surfaces.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or blockages (e.g., mud, small stones) in the tread. Clean the outsole thoroughly to restore traction. If the tread is significantly worn, performance may be affected.
Foot discomfort or rubbing.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check for any seams or foreign objects inside the shoe. Gradually break in new trainers during shorter periods to allow them to conform to your feet.

Care
To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers, follow these general care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper: Due to the mixed materials (leather, mesh, suede, synthetic), avoid harsh cleaning agents. For mesh and synthetic areas, use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. For suede sections, use a suede brush and specific suede cleaner to prevent water stains. For leather portions, a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. A soft brush can help clean grooves for better traction.
- Drying: Allow your trainers to air dry completely after cleaning or if they get wet. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and discoloration.
