FAQs
What materials are used in the ASICS Nice Kicks x Gel-Lyte 3 OG 'Nice Cream' trainers?
The upper features a combination of perforated ivory-hued leather, tonal shaggy suede overlays, and leather side stripes. The midsole is EVA, and the outsole is made of tri-tone rubber.
Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?
No, these Gel-Lyte 3 trainers are designed primarily for casual lifestyle wear and comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running or intense sports.
How should I clean the distinctive aqua laces and pink heel insert?
For the laces, remove them and wash gently by hand with mild soap and water, then air dry. For the pink leather heel insert, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
What is the inspiration behind the 'Nice Cream' design?
The 'Nice Cream' design is inspired by classic ice cream parlors, reflected in the unique combination of brown, cream, aqua, and pink colors, giving the shoes a playful and distinctive aesthetic.
What is the sizing like for these trainers?
This specific variant is a UK 7.5 for adults. ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 models generally offer a comfortable fit; however, personal fit preferences may vary. It's often recommended to refer to ASICS's official sizing chart if you have specific concerns.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
While the leather offers some natural resistance, the trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided, especially due to the suede components. Consider a protective spray for mixed materials.
Troubleshooting
Suede overlays appear matted or dirty.
Gently brush the suede in one direction with a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a suede eraser before brushing.
Leather sections show minor scuffs or dirt.
Wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For more persistent marks, apply a small amount of leather cleaner designed for finished leather, rubbing gently.
Trainers develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles if possible and air out the shoes in a well-ventilated area for several hours. Use a shoe deodorizer spray or insert cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Laces are dirty or discolored.
Remove the laces from the trainers. Wash them by hand with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before re-lacing.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Upper (Leather & Suede):
- For perforated leather and smooth leather sections, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather cleaner applied sparingly with a soft brush or cloth.
- For shaggy suede overlays, use a soft suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner and eraser are recommended. Avoid excessive wetting of suede.
- Laces: Remove laces and wash separately with mild soap and water, then air dry.
- Midsole & Outsole: Wipe the EVA midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. A soft brush can help with textured areas on the outsole.
- Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or discoloration.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside to maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials (leather and suede) to help repel water and stains.
