FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the GEL-NUNOBIKI design?
The GEL-NUNOBIKI shoe's design pays tribute to early 2000s trail shoes and is inspired by the Nunobiki waterfall area in Kobe, Japan. It incorporates elements from ASICS' GEL-KAHANA 3 and GEL-TARGET models.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers are primarily designed for urban trail aesthetics and comfortable daily wear. While they offer cushioning, they are not specialized running shoes for high-performance athletics.
What materials are used in the GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers?
The upper features matte and semi-gloss synthetic layers, creating a rugged texture.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. Ensure there is enough room in the toe box and the heel does not slip.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the synthetic materials offer some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It's best to avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or water.
What colors are available for the GEL-NUNOBIKI series?
This specific variant is Silver/Black. Other colorways, such as Silver/Blue, may be available within the GEL-NUNOBIKI series.
Are these trainers unisex?

Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Consider using thicker socks initially to test the fit.
Discoloration on synthetic upper
Wipe gently with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
Sole feels stiff
New shoes often have a stiffer sole. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the sole to flex and conform to your foot.
