FAQs
What is the 'Imperfection Pack' about?
The 'Imperfection Pack' is a design concept that celebrates the beauty of flaws and aging. The Gt-2160 trainers in this pack feature visible foam and cracked leather details to mimic how materials like clay age over time, giving them a unique, artistic look.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the Gt-2160 trainers incorporate GEL technology for cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion trainers. For intensive running activities, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models that provide specific performance features.
How should I clean the cracked leather details?
Clean the cracked leather details gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning agents or abrasive scrubbers, as these could damage the distressed finish. Allow the shoes to air dry completely.
What era does the design draw inspiration from?
The design draws inspiration from the 2010s, incorporating elements like a segmented midsole structure and the iconic wavy forefoot sculpting characteristic of that period's ASICS heritage trainers.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles in the ASICS Gt-2160 trainers are typically removable, allowing you to replace them with custom orthotics or alternative insoles for personalized comfort and support.
Is this a unisex model?
Yes, the ASICS Gt-2160 trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults of all genders.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear them around the house for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. Consider using thicker socks if the fit is slightly loose.
Visible foam or cracked leather details appear worn
This is part of the intended 'imperfection' aesthetic. For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning solutions that could further alter the appearance.
Discomfort during extended wear
Verify the lacing is not too tight. Ensure the insoles are properly seated. For persistent discomfort, consider adding aftermarket insoles designed for enhanced cushioning or arch support.
