Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 "Pure Silver Blue Coast" trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro 2000s style and modern comfort. The key benefit is the combination of a classic aesthetic with GEL cushioning for a smooth ride during daily activities and workouts. A minor caveat is that the retro design might not appeal to those preferring purely contemporary styles. This shoe features a lightweight, breathable textile overlay, a durable synthetic finish, and GEL technology in the heel for shock absorption. Its low-profile rubber outsole ensures reliable traction.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The Gel-Kinetic 2.0 is designed for general training and everyday wear. While it offers good cushioning, it may not provide the specialized support and performance required for marathon running. For marathon training, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for long-distance running.

How do I clean the textile upper?

Use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the textile areas. Blot with a clean, damp cloth afterwards and allow to air dry.

What does 'Pure Silver/ Blue Coast' refer to?

This refers to the colorway of the trainers. 'Pure Silver' is the primary color, with 'Blue Coast' accents and details providing contrast.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The primary benefit of the GEL technology, located in the heel, is to absorb shock during impact, providing a smoother and more comfortable ride.

Are these trainers unisex?

Yes, the ASICS Gel-Kinetic 2.0 trainers are designed to be unisex, suitable for both men and women.

What kind of surfaces is the outsole best suited for?

The low-profile rubber outsole provides excellent traction on a variety of surfaces, including pavement, gym floors, and light trails.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on arrival

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but its immediate feel may lessen slightly with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are clean and the insoles are properly placed. For significantly reduced performance, consider replacement.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the outsole provides good traction, all rubber soles can be less effective on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
