FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the Gel-Nunobiki design?
The Gel-Nunobiki trainers are inspired by early 2000s trail shoes and the natural, rugged textures found in the Nunobiki area of Kobe, Japan.
What materials are the ASICS Gel-Nunobiki Trainers made from?
The uppers are made of 100% polyurethane, the lining and cushioning are 100% textile, and the sole is 100% rubber.
How should I clean these trainers?
Wipe the uppers with a damp cloth, spot clean the textile lining with mild soap and water, and clean the rubber sole with a brush and water. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer comfort and a secure fit suitable for light activities, they are primarily designed for an urban trail aesthetic and casual wear. For intense running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.
What does 'Nunobiki' mean?
'Nunobiki' literally translates to 'path of serene waterfalls' and refers to a location in Kobe, Japan.
Do these trainers have a specific heel type?
Yes, the ASICS Gel-Nunobiki Trainers feature a flat heel design.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The rubber sole offers some protection and traction, but the polyurethane and textile materials are not fully waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort after extended wear
Verify the correct size and fit. Ensure laces are adjusted properly to support the foot without being too tight. Consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning if needed.
Slight stiffness in material
New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Flexing the shoe manually can also help.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber sole provides good traction, but performance on extremely wet surfaces can vary. Clean the sole regularly to remove any debris that might impede grip.
