ASICS GT-2160 Trainers - Black - UK 9.5

The GT-2160 stands out by faithfully recreating the technical design language of the GT-2000 series from the early 2010s, combining heritage aesthetics with modern GEL™ cushioning technology.

While inspired by running shoe designs and featuring cushioning, the GT-2160 is best suited for lifestyle wear, casual outings, and light athletic activities rather than high-performance or competitive running.

Try them on with the type of socks you would normally wear. Ensure there is a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and check that your heel does not slip excessively.

The upper primarily features a breathable mesh material with durable leather overlays for added structure and support.

Clean your trainers as needed, especially after wearing them in dusty or dirty conditions. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended for maintaining their appearance.

The segmented midsole design, a characteristic of 2010s ASICS trainers, contributes to the shoe's unique aesthetic while working with the GEL™ technology to provide cushioning and support.

Ensure you have selected the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are tied appropriately, not too tight or too loose.

The GEL™ cushioning is designed for longevity, but like all footwear, its effectiveness can diminish with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if significant degradation of cushioning is noticed.

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like most trainers, performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
