Full details
These ASICS GEL-NYC RGD trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort, perfect for everyday wear and casual athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the signature GEL technology cushioning, providing excellent underfoot support.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-NYC RGD design?
The design draws inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles, specifically referencing the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s and embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V design.
Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light athletic activities rather than demanding long-distance running. For serious running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoe lines.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
It is recommended to refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. If possible, try the shoes on in person. Note that sizing can vary slightly between models and even individual pairs.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to help with breathability, athletic or performance socks are recommended. The type of sock may depend on personal preference and the duration of wear.
What is the benefit of the GEL technology in the midsole?
The GEL technology inserts are strategically placed in the midsole to provide advanced shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints and enhancing overall comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. If the issue persists, consider wearing thicker socks or breaking in the shoes with shorter durations of wear.
Slipping or lack of grip
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any dirt or debris that might be hindering traction. Ensure the shoes are appropriately sized; shoes that are too large can cause instability.
Materials appear dirty or stained
Follow the specific care instructions for the upper materials. Use a recommended cleaning agent for synthetic leather and mesh, and spot clean stains carefully with a damp cloth.

Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the synthetic leather and mesh, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
