FAQs

Are the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for serious marathon running?

The Gel-NYC is designed with heritage and comfort in mind, offering good cushioning for everyday wear and light jogging. For serious marathon running, ASICS offers models with more specialized performance features.

What is the primary inspiration for the Gel-NYC design?

The design draws inspiration from heritage ASICS models like the Gel-Nimbus 3 from the 2000s and the Gel-MC Plus V, combined with modern midsole technology from the Gel-Cumulus 16.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth can be used carefully. Always allow to air dry and consider a suede protectant spray.

What does the GEL technology do?

The GEL technology in the rear and forefoot provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact stress on your feet and joints during movement.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from breathable mesh with a medium weave, complemented by suede and leather overlays for structure and style.

Is this shoe suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify width options. Standard fit is assumed. Trying them on or checking for specific width availability is recommended if you have wide feet.

When was the ASICS Gel-NYC Cream Mineral Beige Pink released?

This colorway was released on May 1, 2024.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking noise from shoes

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or slightly loosening/tightening the laces to see if the noise subsides. Ensure insoles are properly seated.

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods. Check that the laces are tied correctly and not too tight or too loose.

Color transfer from pink suede

This is a potential risk with brightly colored suede. Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored clothing or surfaces, especially when wet. Use a suede protectant spray to help mitigate color bleeding.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning the Upper: For the suede and mesh upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used. Avoid soaking the shoes.
  • Suede Care: Special suede cleaner and protector can be used to maintain the material's appearance and water resistance. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is lodged in the sole patterns.
  • Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or the original box to protect from dust and damage.
