FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS design?
The design is inspired by the industrial elements and the 'Architecture of Everyday Life' found in New York City, reinterpreted by HAL STUDIOS.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or intense sports?
While they feature GEL™ Technology for comfort, these sneakers are primarily designed for casual wear and urban lifestyle, not for high-impact athletic activities.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the sneakers?
Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive brushes.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.
Does the GEL™ Technology provide arch support?
GEL™ Technology focuses on shock absorption and cushioning. For specific arch support needs, consider adding custom insoles.
What does 'SSHS' stand for in the product name?
The 'SSHS' designation likely refers to the specific collaboration or special edition model, in this case, linked to the HAL STUDIOS partnership.
How should I store these sneakers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag or their original box, away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their condition.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes occur due to friction between shoe components. Try wearing thicker socks or inserting a talc powder inside the shoe to absorb moisture and reduce friction.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure you have the correct size. If discomfort persists, consider using insoles or stretching the shoe gently in specific areas. Break-in periods may vary.
Laces loosening frequently
Try using a different lacing technique (e.g., a stronger knot) or replace the laces with ones that offer better grip.
