Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 in White/Pure Silver is designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage running style and modern comfort for everyday wear. These unisex sneakers draw inspiration from the early 2010s GT-2000 series, offering a distinctive aesthetic with breathable mesh uppers and advanced GEL™ cushioning. While exceptionally comfortable and stylish for casual use, they are optimized more for lifestyle and light activity rather than intensive athletic performance.

FAQs
What is GEL™ Cushioning?
GEL™ Cushioning is a proprietary ASICS technology involving silicone-based gel strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, reduce impact on the foot, and enhance overall comfort during wear.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS GT-2160 is a lifestyle sneaker inspired by running heritage. While it offers excellent comfort for daily wear and light activity, it is not specifically designed or optimized for high-performance or long-distance running. For dedicated running, ASICS offers other models in their performance running line.
What materials are the ASICS GT-2160 made from?
The upper consists of synthetic leather and textile (mesh), providing a blend of durability and breathability. The sole features a durable rubber outsole with GEL™ cushioning inserts.
How do I determine my correct size?
ASICS shoes generally run true to size for most individuals. We recommend measuring your foot and comparing it to the ASICS sizing chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size. For precise fit, try them on with the type of socks you typically wear.
Can I machine wash my ASICS GT-2160 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the shoe's structure, adhesives, and cushioning properties. Please follow the care instructions provided: spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
What does 'wavy forefoot sculpting' mean?
'Wavy forefoot sculpting' refers to the distinctive, undulating design elements incorporated into the forefoot area of the shoe's midsole. This feature adds to the shoe's unique aesthetic and contributes to its overall retro-futuristic style.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable after initial wear.
Ensure you've selected the correct size. The ASICS GT-2160 is designed for a comfortable fit; allow a short break-in period. If discomfort persists, consider trying a half-size up or checking your sock thickness.
The white/silver color gets dirty quickly.
Regularly wipe shoes with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For persistent stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner for synthetic materials and textiles. Consider using a protective spray before initial wear to help repel dirt and water.
Squeaking sound when walking.
A squeak can sometimes occur from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe with a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch, and then reinserting the insole. Ensure laces are tied securely.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
All cushioning materials naturally compress with extended use. Ensure you are using the shoes primarily for their intended casual and lifestyle purpose. Consider replacing insoles with fresh ones if cushioning has significantly degraded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Remove shoes from packaging.
- Try On: Wear with your preferred socks to assess fit. Ensure there's a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the shoe's end.
- Lace Up: Adjust laces for a snug, secure, but not overly tight fit.
- Break-in: New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow them to conform to your feet.

- Age Group: Adult
- Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both men and women.
- Foot Type: Designed for general comfort; if you have specific orthotic needs, consult with a specialist.
- Activity: Best suited for casual wear, walking, and light daily activities.
Care Instructions
- Regular Cleaning: For the synthetic leather and textile upper, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Spot Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a shoe cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear materials.
- Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Odour Control: Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Maintaining their shape with shoe trees can prolong their life.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe's structure and materials.
