FAQs
What is the main difference between this and a standard ASICS running shoe?
The ASICS GT 2160 Cecilie Bahnsen Mary Jane is a lifestyle shoe reimagined as a fashion hybrid. It features a unique transparent floral upper, a Mary Jane silhouette, and a distinct two-eyelet bow-like lacing system, diverging from the typical performance-oriented design of standard ASICS running shoes.
How do I clean the transparent upper without damaging the floral print?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. For tougher marks, a very mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth and thorough drying.
Is this shoe suitable for running or athletic activities?
No, this is a lifestyle fashion shoe. While it incorporates ASICS comfort technology, its design and materials are optimized for aesthetic appeal and casual wear, not for the demands of athletic performance.
What does 'Mary Jane hybrid' mean in this context?
It refers to the shoe's design which takes inspiration from the classic Mary Jane shoe style (often characterized by a single strap across the instep, though here reimagined with laces) and blends it with the construction and comfort features of an ASICS lifestyle shoe.
What is the significance of the 'Pure Silver' colorway?
Pure Silver refers to the primary metallic color used for the overlays and accents on the shoe, complementing the transparent upper and floral details to create a striking visual effect.
What is the typical fit like for ASICS GT-2160 models?
ASICS GT-2160 models are generally known for a comfortable, true-to-size fit. However, the unique construction of this hybrid model might slightly alter the feel. It's recommended to consult ASICS sizing guides and customer reviews for specific fit information.
When was this special edition released?
The ASICS GT 2160 Cecilie Bahnsen Mary Jane Pure Silver was released on July 19, 2023.
Troubleshooting
Transparent upper appears cloudy or discolored.
Gently clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the cloth is not abrasive and avoid harsh chemicals. Dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Laces are difficult to tie into the desired bow shape.
Experiment with different tensions. The two-eyelet system is designed for a specific aesthetic; try adjusting the tightness until the bow effect is achieved comfortably.
Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. They are designed with ASICS comfort technology, so they should become more comfortable with gradual use.
Floral print seems to be fading.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh cleaning agents. Clean gently as per care instructions. The print is designed to be durable but can be affected by extreme conditions.
