FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, while they are called trainers, the ASICS Gel-Lyte III Nice Kicks Spumoni are designed for casual wear and lifestyle fashion, prioritizing comfort and style over athletic performance.
How do I best clean the unique 'Spumoni' colorway without damaging it?
For the suede and leather parts, use specific cleaners designed for those materials. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Gentle brushing for suede and wiping with a damp cloth for leather are key.
What is the benefit of the Gel cushioning technology?
ASICS Gel cushioning technology is strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, reduce impact on your joints, and provide exceptional comfort and support throughout the day.
Is the split tongue design comfortable?
Yes, the split tongue is a signature Gel-Lyte III feature designed to eliminate tongue slippage and provide a secure, adaptive, sock-like fit that enhances overall comfort.
Are these shoes true to size?
ASICS Gel-Lyte III models are generally considered true to size. However, for the best fit, it's always recommended to try them on, especially given the unique split tongue design.
What does 'Spumoni' refer to in the product name?
The 'Spumoni' in the name refers to the sneaker's distinct colorway, which features a delectable combination of ivory, chocolate, and pink hues, inspired by the classic Italian ice cream dessert.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently brush the suede in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner.
Leather parts appear dull or scuffed
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner to restore shine and moisturize the material.
Shoes develop an odor
Remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure shoes are completely dry after wear.
Shoes lose their shape over time
Use shoe trees when storing your sneakers to help maintain their original shape and absorb any internal moisture. Avoid stuffing them tightly into confined spaces.
Color fading on the upper
Store your shoes away from direct sunlight and extreme heat, which can cause colors to fade. Regular application of a UV-protective spray designed for footwear can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup and First Wear

Compatibility

- Gender: Classified as "Male" but worn widely across genders due to sneaker culture trends.

Care and Maintenance
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Lyte III Nice Kicks Spumoni remain in excellent condition, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft brush, especially on the suede sections, after each wear.
- Spot Cleaning (Suede): For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and a suede brush. Brush in one direction to restore the nap. Avoid excessive rubbing.
- Spot Cleaning (Leather): For leather sections, use a damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner. Wipe gently and then buff with a dry, soft cloth.
- Protect from Water and Stains: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and leather materials. Reapply periodically according to product instructions.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Never machine wash or machine dry your sneakers, as this can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the delicate materials and colors.
