FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC RGC design?

The GEL-NYC RGC design draws inspiration from the heritage running styles of the early 2000s, specifically referencing the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V models, while contrasting this with modern tooling from the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light training. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running, which typically requires more specialized footwear.

How do I clean the GEL inserts in the midsole?

The GEL inserts are part of the midsole foam and are cleaned along with the rest of the midsole. Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a mild soap solution. Avoid soaking the shoe.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of synthetic leather and mesh underlays.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, construction, and cushioning technology. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in the midsole?

The GEL technology inserts provide advanced underfoot comfort by absorbing shock and reducing impact during wear, contributing to a softer feel and less strain on the feet.

Are these trainers waterproof?

The trainers are not designed to be waterproof. The mesh components allow for breathability, which means they are not intended for use in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Laces are difficult to tie securely.

Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets correctly. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with a new pair.

Slight stiffness on first wear.

This is normal for new footwear. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Discomfort after prolonged wear.

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. Check that the laces are not tied too tightly or too loosely. If the discomfort persists, the shoe may not be suitable for your foot type or activity.

Cons

  • The retro design may not align with all fashion preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. Simply untie the laces, adjust for a comfortable fit, and secure them.

Compatibility: The ASICS GEL-NYC RGC trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire. They are suitable for walking, everyday wear, and light training activities.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic leather and mesh areas with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to remove dirt. For tougher stains on the sole, a mixture of water and mild soap can be used.
  3. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
