Full details
The ASICS Gel-Nyc trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro aesthetics and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their primary benefit is the responsive GEL cushioning paired with a breathable mesh and suede construction, offering versatility for both streetwear and casual outfits. A potential consideration is that while offering comfort, they are best suited for light activity rather than high-impact sports.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Nyc trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They feature GEL cushioning for comfort but lack the specialized support and performance features required for serious running.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. Compare your measurement to the chart to find the corresponding UK size. For this specific model, the size is UK 8.5.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and GEL cushioning. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the primary material of the trainers?
The trainers feature a combination of breathable mesh and durable suede for the upper, with a synthetic sole containing GEL cushioning.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, and allow to air dry completely.
What does 'Gel-Nyc' signify?
'Gel-Nyc' refers to the ASICS series that combines their signature GEL technology with a design inspired by New York City's streetwear culture.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not waterproof. While the suede and mesh offer some resistance, they are not designed to protect against heavy rain or submersion in water.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the lacing is adjusted for a secure but not overly tight fit. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation. Break in the shoes gradually if they are new.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
The GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but performance may subtly decrease with extensive use. Regular cleaning and avoiding extreme conditions can help maintain its integrity.
Suede material appearance diminishing
Clean suede areas with a dedicated suede brush and cleaner. Apply a suede protector spray to prevent dirt and moisture from damaging the material.
