FAQs

What does 'SSHS' stand for in the product name?

SSHS typically refers to the specific collaboration or special edition model, in this case, related to the HAL STUDIOS partnership.

Are these sneakers good for running?

While they feature GEL™ Technology for cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle trainers for casual wear and light activities, not for high-impact running.

How do I determine my UK size?

Refer to standard Asics sizing charts online or compare with other UK-sized footwear you own. The product lists sizes in UK Adults' Footwear.

What is the main inspiration behind this design?

The design is inspired by the industrial elements of New York City and the concept of 'The Architecture of Everyday Life', a collaboration with HAL STUDIOS.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

The mesh upper offers some breathability, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Ensure they are dried thoroughly if they get wet.

What materials are used in the construction?

The sneakers feature a mesh upper with leather overlays and a rubber outsole.

Is this a unisex model?

While this specific variant is listed as Male, the GEL-NYC series often includes unisex options. Please check the specific product listing for gender designation.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound from soles

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers. Try ensuring the shoes are completely dry. If the issue persists, a small amount of talcum powder may help.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check for any internal seams or tags causing irritation.

Traction feels reduced

Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
