FAQs

What is the primary design inspiration for the GEL-NYC RGD?

The design is inspired by early-2000s running shoe DNA, specifically drawing cues from the ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS V models, combined with modern, rugged detailing.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

The ASICS GEL-NYC RGD is designed primarily for casual wear and urban comfort. While they offer cushioning, they are not engineered for high-performance running activities.

How do I clean the synthetic leather overlays?

Use a soft cloth with a mild soap and water solution to gently clean the synthetic leather. Wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.

What is the benefit of the GEL technology in the sole?

The GEL technology is placed in the rearfoot and forefoot to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and comfort for everyday wear.

Does the shoe have good breathability?

Yes, the shoe features a breathable mesh underlay beneath the synthetic leather overlays, which helps to keep your feet comfortable.

What does 'GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling' mean?

This refers to the sole unit technology derived from the GEL-CUMULUS 16 model, which combines lightweight foams with GEL inserts for effective cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or stiff

Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks or exploring potential insoles for a more customized fit. The layered construction may require a slight break-in period.

Dirt or stains on the upper

Gently clean with a soft brush and a mild soap-water solution. For stubborn stains, use a damp cloth. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the GEL technology is durable, prolonged heavy use can naturally reduce cushioning effectiveness. Ensure the shoes are not subjected to excessive wear beyond their intended purpose.

These sneakers are designed for general casual wear and are compatible with most everyday outfits. They are not intended for specialized athletic performance.

Care Instructions:
