FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running?
The Gel-NYC trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and structure required for serious or long-distance running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ASICS or the retailer. Generally, measure the length of your foot from heel to toe and compare it to the given measurements. The product information specifies UK 9.5 for this particular listing.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede overlays and GEL™ technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does the 'GEL' in GEL-NYC refer to?
The 'GEL' refers to ASICS' proprietary GEL™ Technology, a cushioning system made of silicone-based material that provides excellent shock absorption and comfort by reducing impact stress.
How do the design inspirations (GEL-NIMBUS 3, GEL-MC PLUS) affect the shoe?
These inspirations contribute to the shoe's aesthetic, blending retro elements with modern design. The GEL-NIMBUS 3 influences the upper's overall silhouette, while the GEL-MC PLUS adds subtle design cues, resulting in a unique and versatile look.
What is the difference between the Gel-NYC and other ASICS trainers like GEL-Nimbus or GEL-Cumulus?
The Gel-NYC is a lifestyle-oriented shoe that combines elements from various archival models, including the tooling from GEL-CUMULUS 16. Models like GEL-Nimbus and GEL-Cumulus are typically designed with more specific running performance features and support systems tailored for that activity.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear
This is common with new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn appropriately for the shoe's intended use. If discomfort persists, check the lacing for tightness or consider if the size is correct.
Suede material looking dull or dirty
Use a dedicated suede brush or a clean, dry toothbrush to gently brush the suede in one direction to restore its nap. For tougher stains, a suede eraser can be used cautiously.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL™ Technology is durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Consider rotating your footwear or using supportive insoles if you require enhanced comfort for prolonged wear.
Poor grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For slippery conditions, be mindful of the surface; these trainers offer general traction but are not designed for extreme wet or icy conditions.
