ASICS Gel-NYC Trainers - Grey - UK 7

ASICS GEL technology is a cushioning system made from silicone-based material placed in critical areas of the midsole. It absorbs impact during movement, providing superior shock absorption and comfort.

While the ASICS GEL-NYC Trainers feature GEL technology for cushioning, they are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for performance running. For running, ASICS offers specialized running shoes with specific support and cushioning tailored for athletic performance.

We recommend trying on the trainers to ensure the best fit. ASICS generally fits true to size, but individual foot shapes can vary. Ensure your toes have a little room at the front and the heel feels secure without slipping.

No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers. Machine washing can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Refer to the 'Care Instructions for Leather' section for proper cleaning methods.

The GEL-NYC trainers are a unique hybrid, drawing design cues for the upper from the early 2000s GEL-NIMBUS 3 and MC-PLUS V. The midsole tooling system is borrowed from the GEL-CUMULUS 16, blending retro aesthetics with modern comfort technology.

The leather upper is designed for durability and will provide long-lasting wear with proper care. Regular cleaning and conditioning will help maintain its appearance and structural integrity over time.

The leather may need conditioning. Clean the surface thoroughly, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner following the product's instructions to restore its luster and suppleness.

Ensure you have the correct size. Leather trainers may require a brief 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially, and adjust the lacing for a more customized fit.

Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. To minimize it, use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers and regularly condition the leather to maintain its elasticity.

Regularly air out your trainers after use. You can also use shoe deodorizers, baking soda, or cedar shoe inserts to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.

Check if the laces are too tight or rubbing against the tongue. Sometimes, a removable insole can cause squeaking; try dusting the underside of the insole with baby powder or cornstarch before reinserting it.
