FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the ASICS GT-2160 DIME Arctic Wolf?
This shoe is designed as a versatile running shoe with a focus on comfort, support, and style, resulting from a collaboration between ASICS and DIME.
What does the "DIME" branding signify?
The "DIME" branding, embossed on the heel's lateral side, indicates this is a special collaborative edition between the skateboarding brand DIME and ASICS, reimagining the classic GT-2160 model.
How do the reflective accents enhance safety?
The reflective accents are strategically placed on the shoe to catch and reflect light from sources such as car headlights in low-light conditions, making the wearer more visible to others.
Is this shoe suitable for all types of running?
It is well-suited for road running and general fitness due to its cushioning and support. For trail running or highly technical terrains, specialized trail shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the DuoMax Support System?
The DuoMax Support System is a component in the midsole that enhances stability and support, helping to correct mild to moderate overpronation and provide a more balanced stride.
How should I clean my ASICS GT-2160 DIME Arctic Wolf shoes?
Clean the upper with mild soap and cold water using a soft brush or cloth. Wipe the sole with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Are there other colorways or sizes available?
This specific model is part of a collaboration, and while other sizes are available, the colorways are typically limited to the collaborative design. Please check product listings for available sizes and any other released variants.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing them with different thicknesses of athletic socks. Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure across the foot. Break-in periods can vary, so wear them for shorter durations initially.
Traction seems poor on certain surfaces.
The high-abrasion rubber outsole is designed for durability and grip on common running surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean from excessive mud or debris. For very wet or slippery conditions, exercise caution as with any footwear.
Reflective accents are not visible.
Reflective accents are designed to be seen when light sources (like headlights) hit them directly in low-light conditions. They are not inherently luminous. Ensure you are in a sufficiently dark environment with an external light source for them to be effective.
Breathability feels inadequate.
The mesh upper provides good breathability, but performance can be affected by sock choice. Ensure you are using moisture-wicking athletic socks. If the issue persists, it might be related to very high ambient temperatures or prolonged strenuous activity.
