The ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers are designed for individuals seeking a unique blend of classic sneaker aesthetics and contemporary comfort. Their key win lies in the elevated underfoot comfort, achieved through advanced midsole technology, seamlessly integrated with a heritage-inspired upper design. However, it's important to note that while they draw from performance running shoes, they are primarily intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not high-performance athletic activities. These trainers combine design elements from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V shoes in the upper, with the midsole engineering inspired by the GEL-CUMULUS 16, offering a distinctive look and feel.

Maintaining your ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers, especially those with leather uppers, is crucial for their appearance and durability.
Initial Protection (Optional): Consider applying a leather protectant spray before the first wear to help repel water and stains.
Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials.
Spot Cleaning: For tougher marks or scuffs on leather, use a small amount of mild leather cleaner applied to a soft cloth. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
Odor Prevention: After wear, remove insoles to allow them and the shoe interior to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with tissue paper or using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing can damage the materials.
