Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-NYC Ivory Mid Gray trainers are designed for adult men seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort for everyday wear and light running. Their key benefit lies in the distinct early 2000s-inspired design combined with GEL technology for cushioning. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and running sneakers, not specialized performance athletic shoes.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC features GEL technology for cushioning, making them comfortable for everyday wear and light running. However, for marathon distances or high-intensity training, dedicated long-distance running shoes with more advanced support and stability features are generally recommended.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning solution, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What is the primary inspiration for the Gel-NYC design?
The design of the Gel-NYC draws inspiration from the aesthetics of the early 2000s, offering a retro visual appeal.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the trainers can handle light moisture, they are not waterproof. The suede material can be susceptible to water damage, so it's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet environments.
What is the main benefit of the GEL technology?
The GEL technology in the forefoot and rear of the shoe is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact and enhancing comfort during wear.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot to find the best UK size. This specific model is for adult men.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit upon first wear
Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in period if the fit feels snug.
Suede looking dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides for appropriate methods.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL technology is designed for long-term cushioning. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, consider if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for your usage level.
Creasing on the upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on suede and mesh. To minimize excessive creasing, use shoe trees when not in use.
