The design is inspired by the Nunobiki trail in Kobe, Japan, and pays homage to early 2000s trail shoe aesthetics, blending natural elements with modern footwear design.
Are these trainers suitable for hiking?
These trainers are best suited for light trail adventures and urban exploration. They are not designed for rugged, technical hiking or extreme outdoor conditions.
How do I clean the textured upper?
Wipe the upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution sparingly, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Can I wear these shoes in the rain?
The trainers offer some protection, but they are not waterproof. They are suitable for light rain or damp conditions, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.
What materials are the ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI Trainers made from?
The upper is constructed from a combination of Textile and Synthetic materials, and the sole is made from Synthetic material.
How do I ensure a secure fit?
Utilize the lace-up closure system to adjust the tightness across the foot for a personalized and secure fit.
What does the 'GEL' in GEL-NUNOBIKI refer to?
The 'GEL' technology in ASICS footwear typically refers to cushioning systems designed to absorb shock and provide comfort. While not explicitly detailed in the product description for this specific model, ASICS often incorporates GEL cushioning for enhanced comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you are using the correct sizing chart for ASICS. Try the shoes on with the type of socks you typically wear. If still uncomfortable, consider exchanging for a different size, referring to available sibling sizes if necessary.
Discomfort during wear
Adjust the lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure the insoles are correctly positioned. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear before longer excursions.
Appearance of wear on synthetic materials
Gently clean the surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the matte or semi-gloss finishes.
Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces
The tread pattern is optimized for dry to moderately damp conditions. For very wet or slippery surfaces, exercise caution and consider shoes designed with more aggressive tread patterns.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic and textile surfaces. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
- Lining and Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out and aired. Hand wash insoles gently with mild soap and water if necessary, and allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Soles: Clean the rubber soles with a brush or damp cloth to remove mud or debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Drying: Always allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources such as radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keeping them in a shoe bag or the original box can help protect them from dust and potential damage.
