FAQs

What is the primary inspiration behind the GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS design?

The design is inspired by the industrial elements and the 'Architecture of Everyday Life' found in New York City, created through a unique collaboration.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature GEL™ Technology for cushioning, these trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and urban environments, not as dedicated performance running shoes.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the trainers and allow them to air dry.

What material is used for the overlays?

The overlays are made of leather, providing structure and durability to the design.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers have a rubber outsole for traction, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to protect the materials.

What does 'SSHS' stand for in the product name?

SSHS refers to the specific collaboration and design series this particular GEL-NYC 2.0 model is part of, signifying its unique collaborative nature.

How does the GEL™ Technology benefit the wearer?

The GEL™ Technology is an advanced cushioning system that absorbs shock during impact, providing a softer feel and reducing stress on the feet and joints.

Troubleshooting

Trainer feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. For initial wear, laces can be adjusted for a more relaxed fit. The materials may also loosen slightly with wear.

Discoloration on leather overlays

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness over time

While GEL™ Technology is durable, its cushioning can naturally diminish with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. Consider replacement if significant wear is evident.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready-to-wear footwear. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Suitable for adults. Designed for casual wear and athletic-inspired outfits. They pair well with jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Insoles: If removable, follow the same cleaning instructions as the upper.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure it's dry before wearing.
  4. Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain shape and protect from dust.
