The design is inspired by the aesthetics of the early 2000s ASICS running scene, specifically referencing iconic silhouettes like the GT-2050 and GT-2060.
What type of cushioning technology is used in the Gel-nyc?
The Gel-nyc utilizes the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling, which includes lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts for superior comfort and support.
Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While they offer good comfort and support, the ASICS Gel-nyc trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light athletic activities rather than high-performance or competitive running.
How do I clean the white leather and mesh upper?

What does 'Retro-Future Fusion' mean in the context of these shoes?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing them with athletic socks similar to those you would typically use. If they are new, they may require a short break-in period. Check if the laces are adjusted correctly, not too tight.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to moisture between shoe layers or friction. Try ensuring the insoles are dry and properly seated. A small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help reduce friction noise.
Yellowing of the midsole
Over time, certain cushioning foams can naturally oxidize and develop a yellowish hue, especially when exposed to light and air. This is a common characteristic of foam materials and typically does not affect performance. Store them away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Stains on the white upper
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For persistent stains, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for white leather and synthetic materials, following product instructions carefully. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your ASICS Gel-nyc trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains on the leather or synthetic upper, a mild shoe cleaner can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Soles: Clean the outsole with a brush to remove any embedded debris. A damp cloth can be used for the midsole.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
