Product Information

Full details

The Asics GEL-NYC trainers are designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable everyday shoe that blends retro aesthetics with modern performance. Their key benefit lies in the superior underfoot cushioning provided by a combination of lightweight foams and signature GEL technology. A potential caveat is that the retro design might not appeal to those preferring a minimalist look.

FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-NYC design?

The GEL-NYC draws design inspiration from the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 from the early 2000s for its upper, and incorporates details from the MC-PLUS V. The midsole tooling is borrowed from the GEL-CUMULUS 16.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

While they offer excellent cushioning for everyday wear, the GEL-NYC trainers are primarily designed for casual use and light activities. For marathon running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.

What materials are used in the Asics GEL-NYC trainers?

The upper is constructed with Nylon, and the midsole incorporates ASICS' signature GEL technology along with lightweight foams.

How should I clean my GEL-NYC trainers?

Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

Can these trainers be worn by women?

This specific variant is listed as men's. While women can sometimes wear men's sizes, it is recommended to consult a sizing chart for accurate conversion and fit.

What does 'GEL-NYC' stand for?

'GEL' refers to ASICS' proprietary cushioning technology, while 'NYC' likely denotes a modern, urban-inspired design aesthetic.

Is the color Independence Blue/Pure Silver true to the pictures?

Color representation can vary slightly due to monitor settings. However, Independence Blue and Pure Silver is a distinct colorway designed to be accurately represented by ASICS.

Troubleshooting

Fit feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct UK shoe size. Consider trying a different size if discomfort persists. Refer to the ASICS sizing guide for accurate measurements.

Soles feel stiff initially

New trainers often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they mold to your feet.

Appearance of wear and tear after minimal use

Inspect for any manufacturing defects. If none are found, this may be due to the nature of the activity performed. Ensure proper care and maintenance as outlined.
