FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC design?
The GEL-NYC design draws inspiration from heritage and modern performance running styles, specifically referencing the upper construction of the GEL-NIMBUS 3 shoe from the early 2000s and embellishments from the GEL-MC PLUS V.
What kind of cushioning does the GEL-NYC offer?
It features GEL technology inserts in the midsole, combined with lightweight foams, to provide advanced underfoot comfort and shock absorption.
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The GEL-NYC trainers are designed with a focus on retro aesthetics and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of marathon running and may not provide the specialized support required for such events.
What materials are used in the GEL-NYC trainers?
The upper is constructed from textile and synthetic materials, including leather and mesh underlays. The sole is made of synthetic rubber.
How should I clean my ASICS GEL-NYC trainers?
Gently clean the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Wipe the sole with water and a brush. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from heat.
What is the purpose of the GEL technology in the midsole?
The GEL technology inserts are designed to absorb shock and provide cushioning, contributing to a comfortable feel underfoot and reducing impact during wear.
Can I wear these trainers with orthotics?
The trainers feature a standard insole which can typically be removed. This allows space for most custom or standard orthotic insoles, provided they are of similar thickness.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces for more room or tighten them for a snugger fit. Ensure you have the correct size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Slight odor after use.
Remove the insoles and air out the shoes separately. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are dry before wearing again.
Reduced cushioning over time.
While the GEL technology is durable, cushioning naturally decreases with extensive use. Consider replacing the insoles for a minor boost or evaluate if the shoes have reached the end of their lifespan for optimal comfort.
Scuff marks on the upper.
For minor scuffs on synthetic leather, a damp cloth may suffice. For deeper marks, a specialized shoe cleaner or a magic eraser can be used cautiously. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.

Compatibility:
These trainers are designed as versatile footwear for adult males and are generally compatible with casual and athletic apparel. They are not specialized for particular sports and are best suited for everyday wear and light activities.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the synthetic leather and mesh. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Sole: Clean the rubber sole and foam midsole with a brush or cloth and cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use.
