FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the Gel-NYC uses performance tooling from the Gel-Cumulus 16, it is primarily categorized as a lifestyle trainer and is best suited for walking, gym sessions, and daily wear.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing for adults. If you have worn ASICS in the past, we recommend sticking to your typical size as the fit is designed to be consistent across the Gel-NYC series.
Does the metallic material scratch easily?
The metallic silver overlays have a delicate finish that can scratch with heavy impact. It is recommended to avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No. Machine washing can compromise the structural integrity of the gel inserts and the aesthetic finish of the metallic overlays. Hand cleaning is strongly advised.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a mix of breathable black mesh and premium leather overlays.
Are the reflective elements active or passive?
The reflective accents are passive; they illuminate when a light source strikes them, providing enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on metallic overlays
Use a specialized leather cleaner for sneakers or a gentle, non-abrasive wipe; avoid scrubbing hard to protect the finish.
Laces coming untied frequently
Consider a double knot or replacing the laces with a slightly more textured lace set if the factory laces are too smooth.
Accumulated dirt in mesh fabric
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris before wiping with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to clean the leather and mesh sections. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the metallic finish on the overlays.
- Drying: Air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials or damage the gel units.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the mesh from yellowing and the metallic finishes from fading.
- Fit: The front lace closure allows for a customizable fit. Ensure the laces are tightened adequately for your foot shape to maximize the support provided by the midsole.
