FAQs
What is the main material of the upper?
The upper features transparent paneling adorned with illustrated floral lines and metallic silver overlays.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While built on an ASICS running shoe foundation, the unique design elements, particularly the transparent upper and Mary Jane style, make them primarily suited for lifestyle wear rather than athletic performance.
How do I clean the transparent parts?
Gently wipe with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the closure system?
The shoes feature a distinctive two-eyelet lace setup that is styled to resemble a bow on the toe.
What is the release date and original price?
The ASICS GT 2160 Cecilie Bahnsen Mary Jane Pure Silver was released on July 19, 2023, with an original retail price of $200.
Is this shoe unisex?
Yes, the product description indicates that the shoe is designed for unisex adult wear.
What does the 'Mary Jane' style refer to?
The 'Mary Jane' hybrid style refers to the shoe's silhouette, which incorporates design cues from the classic Mary Jane shoe, such as a strap-like appearance achieved through the lacing system.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
This is common with new footwear. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Floral print appears to be fading or smudged
Ensure you are using a very lightly damp cloth and avoid excessive rubbing. Do not use cleaning agents. If smudging occurs, it may be permanent due to the material.
Discoloration on transparent panels
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as UV rays can degrade and discolor transparent materials. Store them properly when not in use.
Laces (bow detail) feel loose
The bow is a stylistic element, not a functional closure. Adjust gently if needed, but do not overtighten, as this can stress the material.
