FAQs

Are the ASICS GEL-NYC trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-NYC trainers are designed primarily for comfort and style, with GEL™ technology for cushioning. While suitable for light jogging, they may not provide the specialized support and structure required for marathon running.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot length. Consider trying them on if possible, as foot shape can influence fit. The GEL-NYC utilizes the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling, which generally offers a standard fit.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, particularly the leather, suede, and GEL™ technology. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is a combination of breathable mesh, leather, and suede overlays, providing both ventilation and structural support.

How does the GEL™ technology benefit the wearer?

The GEL™ technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock effectively during impact, providing superior cushioning and reducing stress on your feet and joints.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The ASICS GEL-NYC trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials, which means they offer ventilation but will not keep feet dry in wet conditions.

What are the design inspirations for the GEL-NYC?

The design draws inspiration from ASICS' heritage, specifically incorporating elements from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 (early 2000s) for the upper and mixing in aspects of the GEL-MC PLUS sneaker. The tooling system is based on the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Troubleshooting

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

Ensure the GEL™ technology in the midsole is free from debris. If the shoes are heavily worn, the cushioning may naturally decrease over time.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or tags causing irritation.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole offers good traction, performance on extremely wet or slippery surfaces may be limited. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Color transfer from suede/leather

Keep suede and leather parts dry. In wet conditions, color transfer is more likely. Consider using a suede protector spray, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Care Instructions:
