ASICS Gel-NYC - Cream Mineral Beige - UK 8

The ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers are primarily designed as lifestyle shoes, offering exceptional comfort and style for casual daily wear, walking, and urban exploration. While they provide good cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.

For suede areas, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water or harsh liquid cleaners directly on suede, as this can cause discoloration or damage. Always air dry away from direct heat.

ASICS GEL-NYC sneakers generally fit true to size for most users. However, fit can vary by individual foot shape. We recommend ordering your usual ASICS size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both or consulting a size guide.

The GEL-NYC features GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling, which includes lightweight foams and signature GEL™ technology in the midsole. This combination provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption, offering comfortable support for everyday activities and prolonged standing or walking.

The upper incorporates airy mesh and suede, which are not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to prevent water damage, especially to the suede. Consider using a water-repellent spray designed for mixed materials if you anticipate encountering wet weather.

The upper construction of the ASICS GEL-NYC combines textile (airy mesh), soft suede, and synthetic leather detailing. This blend provides a balance of breathability, style, and durability.

Like many shoes, the ASICS GEL-NYC may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.

Light-colored materials and suede naturally show dirt more. For mesh and synthetic areas, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt, or a suede eraser for minor marks. Consider applying a protective spray designed for mixed materials to repel water and stains.

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. If the noise persists, check if it's coming from the outsole, which might be a manufacturing issue requiring further assistance.

While the shoe features airy mesh, prolonged wear in warm conditions can still lead to heat build-up. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). Regularly air out your shoes after use to prevent moisture retention and odor.
