FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for long-distance running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC are primarily designed for casual wear and light running. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and durability required for high-mileage or intense long-distance running.
How do I determine the right size?
It is recommended to check the ASICS sizing chart for the Gel-NYC series. Many users find that these trainers can run slightly small, so considering ordering half a size or a full size up from your usual measurement is often advised.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, particularly the suede, and compromise the GEL cushioning technology.
What is the main design inspiration for the Gel-NYC?
The design of the ASICS Gel-NYC is inspired by running shoe aesthetics from the early 2000s, offering a retro yet contemporary look.
How should I care for the suede overlays?
Gently brush away dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Protectant sprays can help prevent future staining.
What is the benefit of GEL technology in these shoes?
GEL technology is incorporated into the forefoot and rear of the shoe to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact during wear and enhancing overall comfort.
What colors are available for the ASICS Gel-NYC series?
The specific model discussed here is Ivory Mid Gray. Other colorways may be available within the broader ASICS Gel-NYC series, featuring different combinations of colors and materials.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Try wearing thinner socks or consult a size guide to confirm if a different size is needed. Breaking them in with short periods of wear can also help.
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede eraser or a soft brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning naturally lessens with extensive use. For prolonged comfort, consider replacing them after significant wear.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces.
The outsole provides grip, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of debris.
