Product Information

Full details

The Asics GEL-NYC Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in superior underfoot cushioning and shock absorption, making them ideal for all-day use. A potential caveat is their specific design aesthetic, which may not suit all personal styles. These trainers merge design elements from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V with the contemporary tooling of the GEL-CUMULUS 16, offering a unique look and feel. Key features include lightweight synthetic uppers, GEL midsole technology for cushioning, and a classic lacing system.

FAQs

Are the Asics GEL-NYC Trainers suitable for running?

The GEL-NYC Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and daily comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not engineered for the specific demands of running. For dedicated running, ASICS recommends their specialized running shoe lines.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?

The ASICS GEL technology is embedded in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption. This helps to reduce impact on your joints during movement, contributing to superior comfort, especially during extended periods of wear.

How do I clean the synthetic upper?

You can clean the synthetic upper by gently wiping it with a soft, damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush, followed by a wipe-down with a clean damp cloth. Always air dry.

What is the design inspiration for the GEL-NYC?

The GEL-NYC draws inspiration from two distinct ASICS models: the upper takes design cues from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3, while the midsole incorporates the tooling system from the GEL-CUMULUS 16. Details from the MC-PLUS V also contribute to its retro aesthetic.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the materials offer some protection, the GEL-NYC Trainers are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or puddles.

How does the lacing system work?

The trainers feature a classic lacing system combined with ASICS' signature three-strap design. This allows for a traditional, secure, and easily adjustable fit tailored to your foot.

What size UK should I order if I am a US size 9?

As a general guideline, a US Men's size 9 typically corresponds to a UK size 8. However, sizing can vary between brands and models. It is recommended to consult ASICS' official size chart for the most accurate conversion and to check customer reviews for fit feedback.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust them for a more comfortable fit. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoes need a short break-in period.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes occur due to friction within the shoe. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. If the sound persists, try placing a small piece of paper or powder under the insole.

Discoloration on the upper

Wipe gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution with a soft cloth or brush, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and air dry.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can naturally decrease with extensive use. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended wear conditions and consider replacing the shoes if comfort significantly diminishes.

Pros and Cons

  • Excellent cushioning and shock absorption from GEL technology.

  • Lightweight and breathable upper material enhances comfort.
  • Durable construction suitable for daily wear.
  • Adjustable lacing system ensures a secure fit.

Cons

  • The specific retro design may not be universally appealing.
  • Primarily designed for casual wear, not specialized athletic performance.
  • Synthetic upper might not offer the same natural feel as other materials for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The Asics GEL-NYC Trainers are designed for general adult use and are compatible with most casual attire. They are not intended for specialized sports performance where specific footwear is required.

Care: To maintain the condition of your GEL-NYC Trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  3. Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
