FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Asics GEL-NYC are designed primarily for everyday wear and light workouts. For serious or high-impact running, we recommend Asics' dedicated running shoe lines which offer more specialized support and cushioning.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from a lightweight synthetic material, providing breathability and durability.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the classic lacing system to your preference for a secure and precise fit. Ensure there is comfortable room in the toe box without excessive movement.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the main benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The GEL cushioning in the midsole effectively absorbs shock, reducing impact on your joints and providing a softer landing with every step.
Is this model available in other colors?
While this guide focuses on the "Storm Cloud Pure Silver" colorway, Asics often releases popular models like the GEL-NYC in various color options. Please check the product listings for current availability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still tight, consider that the shoe may need a break-in period or might not be the correct size.
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Ensure laces are properly tied and try walking on different surfaces. If the squeak persists, it might be internal and could resolve with wear.
Discoloration on the upper
Use a damp cloth with a very mild soap solution to gently clean the affected area. Test on an inconspicuous spot first. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Care:
To maintain the appearance and integrity of your GEL-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and smudges from the synthetic material. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Brush off loose dirt. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a little mild soap to clean the sole if necessary.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as these can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
