FAQs
What is the 'Nice Cream' inspiration behind these trainers?
The 'Nice Cream' design is a unique collaboration inspired by nostalgic visits to ice cream parlors. The color palette draws from classic ice cream flavors like vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate, complemented by an emerald green tint from vintage glassware, complete with a playful cherry hang-tag.
What materials are used in the ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 OG 'Nice Cream'?
These trainers feature a blend of premium materials, including perforated ivory-hued leather, tonal shaggy suede overlays, and leather side stripes. The sole incorporates an EVA midsole for cushioning and a durable tri-tone rubber outsole.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
While providing excellent comfort for daily wear, the ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 OG 'Nice Cream' trainers are designed primarily for casual and lifestyle use, not for high-performance running or sports. Their construction emphasizes unique style and everyday comfort.
How should I clean the suede portions of my trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and restore the texture. If there are stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be used carefully. Avoid using water directly on suede as it can leave marks.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
ASICS Gel-Lyte 3 models generally fit true to size for most individuals. However, personal fit preference can vary. If you're unsure, consulting size guides or trying them on is recommended. The UK size 7 is standard for this specific variant.
Can I replace the aqua laces with a different color?
Yes, you can certainly replace the aqua laces to customize the look of your trainers. Ensure the replacement laces are of a similar length and style to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and fit. Consider complementary colors to enhance the 'Nice Cream' theme.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be applied carefully.
Creases forming on leather sections
While natural over time, you can minimize creases by using shoe trees when not wearing the trainers. Store them properly to maintain shape and prevent deep folds.
Aqua laces appear discolored or dirty
Remove laces and hand wash them separately with a mild soap and warm water. Air dry completely before re-lacing to prevent mildew or odor.
Trainers feel less cushioned over time
The EVA midsole provides excellent cushioning, but all materials can compress with prolonged use. Ensure you're not using them for activities beyond casual wear, which can prematurely wear down the cushioning.
General dirt and grime build-up
Regularly clean the entire shoe to prevent deep stains. For leather, use a damp cloth. For rubber outsoles, a brush and soapy water. Prompt cleaning is key to maintaining their appearance.

Care Instructions
To preserve the premium materials and unique design of your 'Nice Cream' trainers:
- Cleaning:
- Leather Surfaces: Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Suede Overlays: Use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid excessive moisture on suede.
- Outsole: Clean with a brush and warm soapy water to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat, which can damage materials and alter colors.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their original shape. Avoid crushing them or exposing them to excessive moisture.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to protect against elements. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
