Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 Trainers in Graphite Grey / Black are designed for adult males seeking a blend of heritage running style and modern performance. Their key benefit is enhanced comfort and a lighter feel, achieved through advanced cushioning and support technologies. A potential caveat to consider is that while versatile, they are primarily performance-oriented, so very casual wear might not fully utilize their capabilities. Key features include a breathable mesh upper with leather overlays, TRUSSTIC™ support units for stability, GEL™ technology for impact absorption, and FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning for a responsive ride, all atop a durable rubber outsole.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the GEL-NYC 2.0 over the first version?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 features an updated midsole formation with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning, which creates a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the original GEL-NYC model.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer excellent cushioning and support inspired by running shoes, they are primarily designed as versatile trainers that blend performance with lifestyle wear. For dedicated long-distance running, specialized ASICS running shoes might be more appropriate.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Ensure your foot is measured accurately, ideally at the end of the day when feet are slightly swollen. The trainer should feel snug but not tight, with enough room in the toe box. Proper lacing techniques can help customize the fit.
Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the purpose of the TRUSSTIC™ support unit?
The TRUSSTIC™ support unit provides midfoot stability, helping to prevent excessive twisting of the foot and ensuring a smoother gait cycle.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the mesh and leather upper is water-resistant to a degree but not waterproof. They are not designed for use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a breathable mesh material with added leather overlays for structure and durability.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking sound
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and ensuring the insole is properly seated.
Reduced cushioning over time
The cushioning materials may compress with extended use. Ensure the shoes are not being used for activities beyond their intended purpose and follow care instructions to preserve material integrity.
Fit feels too snug or loose
Proper lacing is crucial. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for your foot shape. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if possible.
