Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI is designed for individuals who appreciate the intersection of early 2000s trail-inspired aesthetics and modern urban versatility. Drawing design cues from the classic GEL-KAHANA 3 and GEL-TARGET models, this trainer provides a rugged, nature-inspired look suitable for everyday casual wear. While it excels in style and structural detail, users should note that its design is primarily focused on heritage fashion rather than high-performance trail running.

FAQs
Is the GEL-NUNOBIKI suitable for heavy trail running?
No, this is a lifestyle trainer designed with trail-inspired aesthetics. It does not contain the specific traction or stability features required for technical trail running.
Does this shoe run true to size?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing, but if you have wide feet, you may consider going up half a size compared to your dress shoe size.
What is the inspiration behind the name?
The name pays tribute to the Nunobiki waterfalls located in Kobe, Japan, representing a connection to nature.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, making them compatible with most standard aftermarket orthotics.
How should I protect the white material from stains?
It is recommended to use a water and stain repellent spray suitable for synthetic materials before wearing them outdoors.
Are these shoes vegan-friendly?
The model features synthetic and faux leather components, but please check the specific product label for confirmation of total materials.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on synthetic upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the materials retain their shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on white finish
Gently clean affected areas with a magic eraser or a damp cloth dipped in a light soap solution; test on a small, hidden area first.
Laces coming undone
Ensure a double knot is used, or replace with slightly textured athletic laces if original ones slip due to material type.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the synthetic layers. For deeper stains, wipe gently with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or placing them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp synthetic materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the upper.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up closure. For those requiring specific arch support, the insoles are typically removable to allow for the insertion of custom orthotics.
