FAQs
What is the inspiration behind the Gel-Nunobiki name?
The name 'Nunobiki' comes from a trail in Kobe, Japan, known for its serene waterfalls. The shoe's design references elements found in these natural landscapes.
Are these shoes suitable for actual trail running or hiking?
While inspired by trail shoes, the Gel-Nunobiki are primarily designed for an urban trail aesthetic and daily comfort. For rigorous trail running or hiking, dedicated performance footwear is recommended.
How does the GEL technology in these trainers benefit the wearer?
The ASICS GEL technology is strategically placed within the midsole to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced cushioning and a smoother transition from heel to toe.
What materials are used in the upper construction?
The upper is constructed using a combination of synthetic matte and semi-gloss layers, designed to reflect the textures found in outdoor environments while offering a modern aesthetic.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
The synthetic materials offer some resistance, but they are not waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions to maintain comfort and prevent material damage.
What is the primary intended use for these trainers?
These trainers are intended for casual daily wear, offering a comfortable fit and a distinctive style that blends urban fashion with outdoor-inspired design elements.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise during walking.
This can sometimes occur due to friction between internal shoe components. Try wearing them for a while to break them in, or check if the insoles are properly seated.
Discomfort after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size and width. If the issue persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional cushioning or support tailored to your needs.
Color transfer from shoe to socks.
New shoes, especially those with darker dyes, can sometimes transfer color initially. This usually subsides after a few wears. Ensure socks are of a suitable color or material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for general daily wear. They pair well with casual attire such as jeans, shorts, and athleisure wear. While inspired by trail shoes, their primary compatibility is with urban and light outdoor environments.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gel-Nunobiki trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn marks on synthetic materials, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Lining and Insoles: If the insoles are removable, they can be taken out and aired. Hand wash with mild soap and water if necessary, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Outsoles: Clean the rubber outsoles with a brush or damp cloth to remove debris.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as these can damage the materials.
