ASICS GEL-NYC Sneaker - Grey - UK 6.5

While the ASICS GEL-NYC draws inspiration from heritage running styles and incorporates GEL technology for comfort, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for everyday wear and casual activities, not for high-performance running or competitive sports.

We recommend consulting the official ASICS size guide to find your best fit. If you are typically between sizes, many users find it comfortable to size up by a half-size, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

No, machine washing is strongly not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede and the shoe's adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section of this guide for proper cleaning instructions to maintain their condition.

The upper of the ASICS GEL-NYC sneaker features a sophisticated combination of breathable mesh for ventilation and comfort, alongside premium suede and leather overlays that provide structure, durability, and a distinct layered aesthetic.

The ASICS GEL-NYC incorporates a comfortable midsole with lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts, which contributes to advanced underfoot comfort and general support suitable for daily wear. For specific or enhanced arch support needs, personal orthotic insoles can often be accommodated.

Like most lighter-colored footwear, the grey GEL-NYC may show dirt and scuffs more readily than very dark colors. However, with consistent and proper cleaning methods as detailed in the 'Care' section, you can effectively maintain its appearance.

The GEL technology in the ASICS GEL-NYC is strategically integrated into the midsole to provide optimal cushioning and performance. While its benefits are felt through enhanced comfort, it is not typically visible as an exposed gel unit on the exterior of the shoe.

Verify you have the correct size; ASICS often fits true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try adjusting the lacing pattern to alleviate pressure points, or wear them for short periods to allow the materials to gently break in.

This can sometimes be caused by friction or moisture between the insole and the shoe's internal base. Remove the insole, clean both surfaces, ensure they are thoroughly dry, and then reinsert. If the squeak persists and seems to originate from the outsole, check for embedded debris.

Use a specialized suede brush to gently rub away surface dirt and revive the texture. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaner (tested on an inconspicuous area first) may be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Allow your sneakers to air out regularly after each wear. Remove the insoles to allow them to dry separately. For persistent odors, consider using shoe deodorizers, anti-odor sachets, or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb moisture and smells.
