FAQs
What makes the Asics GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS unique?
The uniqueness comes from the HAL STUDIOS collaboration, which reinterprets the GEL-NYC™ 2.0 sneaker with industrial influences from New York City's 'Architecture of Everyday Life'. This results in a distinctive design aesthetic.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?
The Asics GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring Asics' GEL™ technology for comfort. They are not optimized for high-performance running or specialized athletic training.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the shoe?
Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Avoid soaking the shoe. For stubborn dirt, a soft cloth dampened with a cleaning solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
What is the benefit of the GEL™ Technology?
GEL™ Technology is an Asics cushioning system that provides excellent shock absorption. It helps to reduce impact during walking and standing, offering enhanced comfort and a softer feel underfoot.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, the mesh and leather materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain comfort.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
These trainers are available in standard UK adult men's sizing. It is recommended to refer to Asics' official size guide for the most accurate measurement and fit advice.
How should I store my GEL-NYC trainers when not in use?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during wear
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more hours. If the noise persists, check if any part of the sole or insole is loose. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the shoes are new, break them in gradually by wearing them for short periods. Wearing appropriate socks can also prevent rubbing.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL™ technology is designed for long-term cushioning, but performance may slightly decrease with extensive use. Ensure the insoles are properly seated, and consider replacing them if they become excessively compressed.
Leather overlay discoloration
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean leather components with a suitable leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain their appearance and prevent drying or cracking.
