Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GT-2160 Trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort, inspired by the technical design language of the early 2010s GT-2000 series. They offer advanced cushioning and a distinctive aesthetic, making them suitable for everyday wear. A potential caveat is that the focus on heritage design might mean a less aggressive modern athletic performance profile compared to specialized running shoes.

FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the GT-2160 design?

The GT-2160 trainers are inspired by the technical design language of the ASICS GT-2000 series from the early 2010s, preserving key heritage elements like its aesthetic and wavy forefoot sculpting.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature GEL™ technology cushioning for comfort, the GT-2160 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear shoe. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.

What materials are used in the GT-2160?

The trainers feature a breathable mesh upper complemented by leather overlays for structure and durability. The outsole is made of rubber for traction.

How do I clean my GT-2160 trainers?

Gently clean the mesh and leather with a damp cloth or soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

What does the 'segmented midsole structure' do?

The segmented midsole structure contributes to the shoe's industrial aesthetic and provides a supportive feel underfoot, working in conjunction with the GEL™ technology for cushioning.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

The product information indicates they are designed for men, but the style can be appreciated by anyone looking for this aesthetic. Check the sizing chart for accurate fit.

What is the benefit of GEL™ Technology Cushioning?

GEL™ Technology Cushioning inserts are designed to provide advanced shock absorption, helping to reduce impact during wear and offering a comfortable feel.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly wet conditions, consider alternative footwear designed for enhanced wet-weather grip.

Discomfort after extended wear.

Verify the correct size and fit. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support or cushioning is desired. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter periods of wear.

Mesh upper appears to be snagging.

Be mindful of rough surfaces or sharp objects that could catch the mesh. Gently try to smooth out any snags with your finger. Minor snags are often aesthetic and do not impact performance.

Leather overlays show creasing.

Creasing is a natural part of leather wear. Ensure the shoes are stored properly to help maintain their shape. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can exacerbate creasing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning:
  • For the mesh upper and leather overlays, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  • Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat or sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  1. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
  2. Laces: If laces become dirty, they can be removed and washed separately by hand or in a garment bag in a washing machine on a gentle cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
