Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running aesthetics and modern comfort. Their key benefit lies in the enhanced cushioning and support system, offering a lighter and more comfortable feel than previous versions. A potential consideration is that while featuring leather overlays, the primary upper material is mesh, which may offer less water resistance than fully leather models. This guide covers its features, performance, care, and more.

FAQs
Are the ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 suitable for running?
The GEL-NYC 2.0 is designed with inspiration from running styles but is primarily intended for lifestyle wear and light training. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
What is the main difference between GEL-NYC™ 2.0 and the first version?
The GEL-NYC™ 2.0 features an updated midsole formation that creates a lighter and more comfortable feel compared to the first version, incorporating enhanced TRUSSTIC™ support units, GEL™ technology, and FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning.
How do I clean the mesh and leather parts?
Wipe the mesh and leather with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or soaking.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
The mesh upper offers breathability but may not be water-resistant. While the leather overlays offer some protection, these shoes are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
What material is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of rubber, designed to provide reliable traction and durability.
What sizes are available for this model?
This guide entry specifically refers to a UK size 5.5 for men. The GEL-NYC 2.0 series is available in a range of men's UK sizes.
Is this shoe good for people with flat feet?
The TRUSSTIC™ support units offer some stability, which can be beneficial. However, for specific arch support needs, consulting with a footwear specialist is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Loosen the laces before putting them on and re-tie them to your comfort level.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The cushioning materials may naturally compress with use. Ensure the shoes are clean, as dirt can sometimes affect the feel. For significantly reduced cushioning, it may be time to consider replacement.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
