FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC suitable for marathon running?
While the Gel-NYC offers excellent cushioning and comfort for daily wear and shorter runs, it may not provide the specialized support or advanced features required for marathon-distance running. For marathons, consider ASICS models specifically engineered for long-distance performance.
How do I clean the mesh and suede parts of the trainers?
Use a soft brush or slightly damp cloth for the mesh. For suede, use a dedicated suede brush and eraser. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What is the main difference between this model and other ASICS trainers?
The Gel-NYC distinguishes itself by blending heritage design elements from models like the Gel-Nimbus 3 with contemporary cushioning technology from the Gel-Cumulus 16. It strikes a balance between retro style and modern performance features.
Can I wear these trainers if I have wide feet?
The description does not specify wide-fit options for this particular model. While the mesh upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet may find standard sizing restrictive. It's advisable to try them on if possible or look for wide-fit variations if available in other colourways.
What does 'Cream Mineral Beige Pink' refer to in the colourway?
This describes the primary colours of the shoe: 'Cream' for the main upper mesh, 'Mineral Beige' for suede and leather overlays, and 'Pink' accents found on suede panels, the mudguard, and detailing on the midsole.
What UK shoe size is this specific product?
This product listing is for a UK size 9 adult male trainer.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning over time
The midsole foams and GEL inserts naturally compress with use. For lighter use, consider cleaning the shoes and ensuring they are properly dried, which can sometimes restore some responsiveness. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure the correct size is being worn and that laces are tied appropriately for a secure yet comfortable fit. Try wearing different types of socks. If the issue persists, break-in time may be required, or the shoe might not be the best fit for your foot shape.
Suede material becoming stiff or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth with minimal water and mild soap, followed by proper air drying. Consider applying a suede protector spray regularly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size (this specific model is UK 9).
Compatibility: These trainers are designed primarily for adult males, suitable for general athletic use and casual wear. They are compatible with most standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the condition and longevity of your Gel-NYC trainers:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Material Care: The suede and leather overlays may benefit from a protective spray designed for these materials to guard against water and stains. Address spills immediately according to material care guidelines.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
