FAQs

What is the 'Spumoni' colorway?

The 'Spumoni' colorway refers to the unique and delectable combination of ivory, chocolate, and pink hues, inspired by the classic Italian ice cream dessert, Spumoni. This gives the trainers their distinctive aesthetic.

How should I clean the suede and leather components of these trainers?

For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and an eraser for scuffs. For leather parts, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, especially on suede.

Is the ASICS Gel-Lyte III comfortable for all-day wear?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Lyte III is well-regarded for its comfort. The integrated Gel cushioning technology provides excellent shock absorption, making these trainers suitable for extended periods of wear.

What is the benefit of the split tongue design?

The split tongue is a signature feature of the Gel-Lyte III, designed to provide a more secure and comfortable fit. It prevents the tongue from slipping to the side during movement, ensuring consistent comfort and a snug feel.

Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?

Due to the presence of suede, it is generally recommended to avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or excessively wet conditions. Water can potentially stain or damage suede. Applying a water-resistant spray designed for suede can offer some protection.

How do I find the correct size for the ASICS Gel-Lyte III?

The ASICS Gel-Lyte III typically runs true to size. For the most accurate fit, it is always recommended to try them on or consult ASICS' official sizing guide, especially if you are unsure or between sizes.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained.

Use a specialized suede brush and eraser for dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be used sparingly with a soft cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

General discomfort or rubbing during wear.

Ensure proper lacing and that the shoe size is correct. Allow for a break-in period if the shoes are new. Consider trying different socks for a better fit and feel.

Shoe creasing prematurely.

Utilize shoe trees when the trainers are not being worn to help maintain their original shape. Avoid leaving them crumpled or squashed. Proper fit can also prevent excessive creasing.

Colors appear to be fading.

Store your trainers away from direct sunlight and harsh artificial light, which can cause color degradation. Consider using a UV protective spray designed for footwear, if available and compatible with the materials.

Difficulty getting a snug fit with the split tongue.

Ensure you pull both sides of the split tongue evenly as you lace up. The design is intended to wrap comfortably around the foot, so adjust lacing tension to find your ideal secure fit.

Setup

Setting up your ASICS Gel-Lyte III is straightforward. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the lacing to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit.

Compatibility

These trainers, with their unique colorway and iconic silhouette, are highly compatible with a range of casual and streetwear attire. They pair well with:

  • Denim: Jeans of various washes and cuts.
  • Joggers & Sweatpants: For a relaxed, athletic-inspired look.
  • Shorts: Especially during warmer months, to highlight the shoe's design.
  • Casual Trousers: Chinos or cargos in neutral tones.

Care

Proper care will preserve the aesthetic and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Lyte III Nice Kicks Spumoni, especially due to its suede components.

  1. Cleaning Suede: Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dry dirt and scuffs. For more stubborn marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh chemical cleaners directly on suede, as this can cause stains or damage.
  2. Cleaning Leather: For the leather sections, wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. A mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear can be used for deeper cleaning, followed by a dry cloth to remove any residue.
  3. Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and leather before the first wear, and reapply periodically. This helps protect against moisture and spills.
  4. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shoe's original shape and prevent creasing when not in use.
  5. Avoidance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture or extreme heat.
