FAQs

What is the primary material of the ASICS x DIME GT-2160 'Arctic Wolf'?

The upper is typically constructed from a combination of synthetic leather and mesh, offering both durability and breathability.

How does the 'Arctic Wolf' colorway differ from other GT-2160 models?

The 'Arctic Wolf' colorway features a predominantly white upper with subtle accents, differentiating it from the more standard or darker color options in the GT-2160 line.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While the GT-2160 offers good cushioning, it's primarily designed as a lifestyle or casual athletic shoe. For serious running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or compare with other ASICS shoes you own. Generally, a UK 5 is equivalent to a US Men's 6 or EU 38.5, but variations exist.

What makes the ASICS x DIME collaboration special?

This collaboration brings together ASICS's technical footwear expertise with DIME's distinctive streetwear aesthetic, resulting in a unique and sought-after design.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the shoes offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and color.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tighten

Ensure laces are not twisted and are threaded evenly through eyelets. Try re-lacing the shoe.

Slight discomfort upon first wear

This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.

Visible scuffs on the white upper

Use a magic eraser or a specialized sneaker cleaner with a soft cloth to gently remove scuff marks. Follow up with a protectant spray.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and free of debris. For persistent issues on very smooth surfaces, consider a gentle scuffing of the sole on a rough surface or using a sole grip enhancer.
