FAQs
What is the 'Signature Series'?
The Signature Series is a program where design visionaries collaborate with brands to create unique, artist-driven interpretations of key seasonal models, adding depth to product storytelling and design.

Are these sneakers suitable for running?
These sneakers are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear. While they feature GEL™ Technology for comfort, they are not engineered for high-impact running activities.
How do I determine my UK size?
Refer to the Asics sizing chart available on most footwear retailers' websites. Generally, shoe sizes are consistent, but slight variations can occur between models.
What materials are used in the GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS?
The sneaker features a mesh upper with leather overlays and a rubber outsole. The midsole incorporates Asics' GEL™ Technology.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and potential damage. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for new leather and mesh combinations. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your feet.
Discoloration from cleaning
Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first. Use minimal water and mild, color-safe cleaners. Ensure thorough air drying away from heat.
GEL™ cushioning feels too firm
The GEL™ Technology is designed for shock absorption. The perception of firmness can vary and may soften slightly with wear. Ensure the correct size is being worn, as an ill-fitting shoe can affect cushioning feel.
