FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the ASICS Gel-NYC design?
The design draws inspiration from the early 2000s running sneaker aesthetic, giving it a retro and stylish look.
Does the shoe have good cushioning?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-NYC features GEL technology in both the forefoot and rear for enhanced shock absorption and comfort.
Is this shoe suitable for serious running?

How should I clean the suede parts of the shoe?
Use a suede brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
What is the primary material of the shoe's upper?
The upper features a base of white mesh with suede overlays.
What does 'Ivory/Mid Grey' refer to in the product name?
This refers to the colorway of the shoe, with 'Ivory' likely being the primary or base color and 'Mid Grey' indicating the secondary accent colors, particularly on the suede overlays and sole.
Are these shoes waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For persistent stains, consult a specialized suede cleaner.
Fit feels too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Check the lacing system and adjust for a snug but comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider the possibility of a sizing variation between models.
Tread is wearing down quickly.
This may indicate heavy use or use on abrasive surfaces. For light to moderate use, wear on standard pavement or indoor surfaces is recommended. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes for prolonged wear.
