The ASICS GEL-NYC Trainer is designed for adults who value a unique fusion of nostalgic aesthetics and contemporary comfort. Its standout feature is the superior underfoot cushioning, delivered by lightweight foams and ASICS' signature GEL technology, ensuring exceptional comfort for daily wear. A key consideration for this specific variant is its suede material, which necessitates particular care to preserve its look and durability. This trainer brilliantly merges design elements from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 for the upper and MC-PLUS V for details, with the advanced tooling system of the GEL-CUMULUS 16 in the midsole, creating a distinctive and comfortable experience.

FAQs

What material is the upper made from?

This specific variant of the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainer features a suede upper, providing a premium feel and aesthetic. Other variants may feature different materials.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers offer excellent cushioning for comfort, they are designed primarily for casual wear, daily commutes, and light activities rather than dedicated running. For intense running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes.

How do I clean the suede material?

Regularly brush off dirt with a suede brush. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth to blot. Avoid getting them excessively wet, and always allow them to air dry away from heat. Consider using a suede protector spray.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

ASICS trainers typically fit true to size. We recommend referring to the ASICS sizing chart if you are unsure or are between sizes. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear is always recommended.

Can I wear these trainers in the rain?

Due to the suede material, it is highly recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or very wet conditions, as water can damage and stain suede. A water-repellent spray can offer some protection, but it won't make them waterproof.

What makes them comfortable?

The comfort comes from the combination of lightweight foams and ASICS' signature GEL technology integrated into the midsole. This provides superior underfoot cushioning and excellent shock absorption.

Troubleshooting

My trainers feel uncomfortable or rub.

Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. New shoes sometimes require a 'break-in' period; wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

The suede is looking dull or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap of the suede in one direction. This helps to restore its texture and appearance. For deeper dullness, a suede eraser can help lift dirt.

Suede has a water stain or mark.

Allow the trainers to dry completely. Once dry, use a suede brush and eraser to gently work on the stain. For persistent marks, a specialized suede cleaner might be necessary. Always reapply a suede protector after cleaning.

Compatibility:

Care:

Given that this variant features suede material, proper care is essential to maintain its appearance and prolong its lifespan.

  1. Pre-Treatment: Before first wear, consider applying a high-quality suede protector spray to help repel water and stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a soft brush (a dedicated suede brush is recommended) to gently brush off dirt and dust after each wear. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
  3. Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp clean cloth. Blot the stain gently; do not rub vigorously.
  4. Deep Cleaning: For tougher stains, specialized suede cleaning solutions can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
  5. Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to help them retain their shape.
  7. Avoid Water: Suede is not water-resistant. Avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent water damage and discoloration.
