Getting started with your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers is simple:

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers:
Cleaning the Upper: For the textile and synthetic upper, gently wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris from the midsole and rubber outsole. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush with mild soap can be effective.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as this can damage materials.
Odor Prevention: If shoes become damp or develop an odor, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda inside the shoes.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
