FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC 2.0 trainers are designed for urban wear and all-day comfort, blending performance running styles with casual aesthetics. While they offer good cushioning and support for walking and light activity, they are not specifically designed as dedicated performance running shoes for intense training.
What is the main difference between Gel-NYC 2.0 and the first version?
The Gel-NYC 2.0 features a lighter and more comfortable feel than the first version, incorporating FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning in the midsole for enhanced responsiveness.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush specifically designed for suede to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully, always testing on a small, hidden area first.
What type of support do these trainers offer?
They feature a TRUSSTIC™ support unit in the midsole, which provides stability and helps prevent unwanted twisting, contributing to a more secure feel during wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain. Clean and dry them thoroughly if they do get wet.
What is the material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.
What is the outsole made of?
The outsole is made of segmented rubber, designed for durability and grip on urban surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Laces feel uncomfortable or cause pressure points.
Adjust the lacing pattern. Try lacing them looser in some eyelets and tighter in others, or experiment with different knotting techniques.
Suede material appears dirty or stained.
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner according to product instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning or support over time.
While the cushioning is designed for durability, prolonged heavy use can eventually reduce its effectiveness. For optimal comfort, consider replacing them after extensive wear.
Outsole grip seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. While designed for grip, the traction may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces.
