ASICS GT-2160 - White/Black - UK 7.5

The ASICS GT-2160 is a direct tribute to the design language of the GT-2000 series from the 2010s, bringing a nostalgic and classic aesthetic to modern wearers.

While it features comfortable GEL technology and is a 'trainer,' the GT-2160 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. For dedicated, high-performance running, ASICS offers other specialized models with more advanced running-specific features.

For the mesh upper and synthetic panels, use a soft brush or a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap). Gently scrub and then wipe away any residue with a clean, damp cloth. Always air dry away from direct heat.

GEL tech inserts are strategically placed cushioning units within the midsole that absorb shock and provide a soft, responsive feel underfoot. This helps reduce impact and enhances overall comfort during wear.

ASICS trainers typically run true to standard sizing. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to consult the ASICS size guide or try them on if possible to ensure the best fit.

The GT-2160 features a mesh upper, which offers breathability but is not waterproof. While suitable for light dampness, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to prevent water absorption and potential discomfort.

Ensure you have the correct size; ASICS typically runs true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Check your lacing; sometimes adjusting the tightness can resolve discomfort. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot. Consider trying different socks for a better fit and reduced friction.

White mesh can show dirt easily. Regularly wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after wear. For stubborn stains, use a mild shoe cleaner specifically designed for mesh materials and a soft brush. Consistent, gentle cleaning is more effective than infrequent, intense cleaning.

All cushioning materials naturally compress with extended wear. While GEL technology offers durable support, continuous heavy use will eventually reduce its original responsiveness. Ensure you're primarily using these trainers for their intended lifestyle and casual purposes, rather than high-impact, high-mileage athletic activities.

The silver accents are applied finishes. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods or harsh chemicals that can strip the coating. For minor scuffs, a soft, damp cloth can often gently clean the surface. Store shoes carefully to prevent unnecessary rubbing or contact with abrasive surfaces.
