Full details
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers in Ivory Mid Gray are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for running and casual wear. Their key benefit lies in the integration of GEL technology for enhanced cushioning, while a potential caveat is the specific suede material, which may require more delicate care than synthetic alternatives. This model features a mesh upper with suede overlays, inspired by early 2000s aesthetics, and incorporates GEL technology in both the forefoot and rear for optimal shock absorption.

FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for running and casual wear, blending retro aesthetics with modern cushioning technology.
What does the 'GEL' technology in the shoes do?
GEL technology is incorporated into the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during activity.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a specialized suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth should be used sparingly. Avoid saturation.
Are these shoes suitable for professional athletic competitions?
While they offer good cushioning for running, they are best suited for everyday running, training, and casual wear rather than elite professional competition, which may require more specialized footwear.
What is the inspiration behind the Gel-NYC design?
The design is inspired by the aesthetics of running shoes from the early 2000s, offering a retro look.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The mesh and suede construction offers some protection, but they are not waterproof. It is advisable to exercise caution in wet conditions and ensure they are properly dried afterward.
What sizes are available for men?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are available in various adult male UK sizes. The specific size mentioned in this guide is UK 7.5.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. If still tight, consider if the size is correct for your foot. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Suede is becoming discolored or stiff
This can be due to excessive moisture or improper cleaning. Ensure the shoes are completely dry and use a suede protector spray before wearing in wet conditions. For stiffness, a suede brush can help restore texture.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The outsole offers good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that might impede grip.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Suede: Use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid soaking the suede.
- Cleaning the Mesh and Midsole: Use a mild detergent and a soft brush or cloth to clean the mesh areas and the midsole. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and moisture.
