Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Asics Gel-NYC shoes, especially given their lighter colorway and mixed materials:
- Cleaning the Upper (Mesh, Suede, Synthetic):
- For Mesh & Synthetic: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub in circular motions.
- For Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow its instructions carefully. Always brush in one direction.
- Avoid: Do not use harsh chemicals, bleach, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.
- Cleaning the Sole: Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and debris.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Stuff them with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not place them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage adhesives and materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Keeping them in their original box or a shoe bag can help protect them from dust.
