FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are inspired by running shoe aesthetics but are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. For intense running or athletic training, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for performance.
How do I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid water and harsh detergents, as they can damage the suede.
What does 'Ivory Mid Grey' refer to?
'Ivory Mid Grey' describes the color palette of this specific trainer model. 'Ivory' likely refers to the off-white base or accents, while 'Mid Grey' denotes the primary gray tones used in the overlays and sole.
What is GEL technology?
GEL technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system designed to absorb shock effectively. It is placed in key impact zones of the shoe, such as the forefoot and heel, to provide comfort and reduce stress on the joints.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Suede is particularly susceptible to water damage. It's advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and to treat them with a water-repellent spray for added protection.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or retailer sites. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the chart, considering UK sizing as specified.
What is the main design inspiration for the Gel-NYC?
The design of the Gel-NYC is inspired by the aesthetics of the early 2000s, giving it a retro yet contemporary appeal.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have measured your foot correctly. Consult the ASICS size chart for accurate conversions. If between sizes, consider trying a half-size up or down depending on fit preference and intended use.
Discomfort after short wear
Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure the laces are tied correctly – not too tight or too loose. If persistent discomfort occurs, the shoe may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a dedicated suede eraser or cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Protect suede with a waterproofing spray suitable for footwear.
