Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-NYC RGD Trainers are designed for the adult male seeking a blend of heritage running style and modern performance comfort. Their key benefit lies in the advanced underfoot cushioning provided by lightweight foams and GEL technology inserts. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific aesthetic, which draws heavily from early 2000s running shoe designs, potentially not aligning with all fashion preferences. These trainers feature a mesh upper with premium leather overlays, offering both breathability and durability, along with printed branding and a rubber outsole for reliable traction.

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS GEL-NYC RGD Trainers are designed with heritage running aesthetics and modern comfort for lifestyle wear. While they incorporate performance technology, they are best suited for casual use, walking, and light activities, rather than competitive or long-distance running.

How do I clean the mesh and leather parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For more stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry.

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC RGD design?

The design draws inspiration from heritage running styles, specifically referencing the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s and combining it with elements from the GEL-MC PLUS V. The tooling is based on the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Can I put these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning system of the trainers.

What type of socks should I wear with these trainers?

For optimal comfort and performance, it is recommended to wear athletic or casual socks that fit well. The choice of sock can significantly impact the overall feel and fit of the trainer.

How does the GEL technology in the midsole work?

The GEL technology inserts are strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock during impact. This helps to reduce stress on the feet and joints, providing a softer landing and smoother transition.

Is this model suitable for wide feet?

The product description does not specify a wide fit. It is generally recommended to try on the trainers or consult a sizing guide to determine the best fit for your foot width.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels slightly off

Ensure you are wearing the type of socks you typically would with trainers. If still uncomfortable, consider the possibility of needing a different size. Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements.

Materials feel stiff initially

The trainers may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they become more flexible and comfortable.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Check the rubber outsole for any embedded debris like mud or small stones. Clean the outsole thoroughly. Note that specialized traction for very wet or slippery surfaces may vary.

Discoloration on upper materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, as per care instructions. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the midsole and rubber outsole. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used carefully.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
