Full details
The ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0 SSHS Sneakers, designed in collaboration with HAL STUDIOS, are for adults seeking a stylish and functional trainer with a unique urban-industrial aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in combining advanced GEL™ Technology for comfort with a distinctive design inspired by New York City's industrial elements. A potential caveat is that their unique design may not suit all personal styles, and they are best suited for casual wear and light training rather than intense athletic performance.

FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind this HAL STUDIOS collaboration?
The collaboration is inspired by the industrial elements that form the backbone of New York City, focusing on 'The Architecture of Everyday Life'.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or athletic training?
These sneakers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring GEL™ Technology for comfort. While they offer good support for everyday activities, they are not optimized for high-impact sports or intense athletic training.
How should I clean the mesh parts of the upper?
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the fabric.
What is GEL™ Technology?

Can I wear these sneakers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides traction, the mesh and leather upper are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
Where can I find other available sizes or colorways?
Information on variant siblings, which includes other available sizes and colorways, can be found in the product's detailed specifications or by checking the brand's official product listings.
What does 'SSHS' in the product name signify?

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have tried them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements and compare with your foot length.
Discomfort during wear
Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. Ensure laces are tied appropriately – not too tight or too loose. Check for any internal seams or debris causing irritation.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may be affecting grip.
Appearance of leather overlays fading
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Consider using a leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear to restore and protect the leather's appearance.
