FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Imperfection Pack' design?

The 'Imperfection Pack' is inspired by the beauty of how objects age, specifically resembling how clay pots develop character over time. This is reflected in the visible foam and cracked leather details.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?

While the Gt-2160 trainers feature GEL technology for cushioning, their design is primarily focused on heritage aesthetics and comfortable daily wear. They are not specifically designed for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the cracked leather details?

Gently wipe the cracked leather details with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could further damage the finish.

What does 'segmented midsole structure' mean?

A segmented midsole means the sole is divided into distinct sections. This design allows for specific areas to provide targeted cushioning and support, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the ASICS Gt-2160 Trainers are designed with unisex sizing, making them suitable for adults of any gender.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

The GEL technology inserts are designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear. This contributes to overall comfort, especially during extended periods of walking or standing.

How does the Gt-2160 preserve its heritage design language?

It maintains key elements from its original release, such as the sleek overall aesthetic and the distinctive wavy sculpting on the forefoot, connecting modern versions to their historical roots.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Try wearing them with thinner socks or consult a shoe fitter for advice on stretching options. Allow for a break-in period as the materials may adapt to your foot shape.

Visible foam or leather details showing excessive wear

This is part of the design's aesthetic. For actual damage, consult product care guidelines for minor repairs or contact customer support if concerns persist.

Reduced cushioning over time

While the GEL technology is durable, cushioning can diminish with extensive use. Consider rotating with other footwear or replacing them after significant wear.

Discoloration of materials

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry away from heat sources.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Gt-2160 Trainers, especially the cracked leather details, follow these care instructions:
