FAQs

What does 'Nunobiki' refer to?

'Nunobiki' is a trail in Kobe, Japan, known for its serene waterfalls. The name is used to evoke a connection to nature and outdoor exploration.

Are these shoes suitable for actual trail running?

The Gel-NUNOBIKI trainers are inspired by trail shoes and feature a durable design, but they are primarily intended for casual wear and urban exploration with an outdoor aesthetic, rather than technical trail running.

What materials are used in the ASICS Gel-NUNOBIKI trainers?

The upper is constructed with synthetic leather and features semi-gloss layers. These materials are chosen to create a distinctive urban trail aesthetic.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for accurate foot measurements. It's recommended to measure your foot length in centimeters or inches and compare it to the provided size chart.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

While the materials offer some durability, these trainers are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure or heavy downpours may lead to wetness. Ensure they are properly dried afterward.

What is the intended audience for the Gel-NUNOBIKI trainers?

These trainers are designed for adults who appreciate a fusion of streetwear style and outdoor-inspired design elements. They are suitable for unisex wear.

How do these shoes compare to other ASICS trail shoes?

The Gel-NUNOBIKI trainers borrow design cues from models like the Gel-Kahana 3 and Gel-Target, but their focus is more on an urban aesthetic inspired by trail shoes, rather than the specialized performance features of dedicated trail running footwear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Verify your foot measurement against the ASICS sizing chart. If between sizes, consider the intended fit (e.g., snug vs. roomier) and the possibility of using thicker socks. Different models can have slight variations.

Discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted properly for support without being too tight.

Material scuffing or marking easily

The synthetic leather and layered design can be prone to scuffs. Use appropriate cleaning methods as outlined in the care section. Consider a protective spray suitable for synthetic leather, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

While designed for urban trails, extreme wet conditions can reduce traction on any shoe. Exercise caution on slick surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from mud or debris which can also impact grip.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic leather and other upper materials. For tougher spots, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
  2. Lining and Insole: If removable, the insole can be aired out to reduce odor. Spot clean the interior with a damp cloth if necessary.
  3. Sole Maintenance: Clean the outsole with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the rubber.
