Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of 2000s-inspired heritage style and modern performance. Their key benefit lies in the versatile design that transitions seamlessly from casual wear to light athletic activities, offering both comfort and a sporty aesthetic. A potential caveat is that while versatile, they are primarily trainers and may not be suited for high-impact sports requiring specialized footwear. These sneakers feature a low-boot construction with leather and suede uppers, a mesh underlay for breathability, contrast tooling, and utilize lightweight foam and GEL insert technology for cushioning. A durable rubber outsole and a secure lace-up closure complete the design.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC trainers are inspired by performance but are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. For serious running or high-impact sports, specialized running shoes offering more targeted support and cushioning are recommended.
How do I clean the suede and leather parts?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, a suede eraser or a lightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used cautiously. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers, especially due to the leather, suede, and GEL components. Machine washing can damage these materials and compromise the shoe's structure and cushioning.
What is the main benefit of the GEL insert technology?
The GEL insert technology is designed to provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear. It works in conjunction with the lightweight foam midsole for enhanced overall comfort.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space at the end of your longest toe. The heel should feel snug without slipping, and the midfoot should feel secure but not constricting. Trying them on at the end of the day, when feet are slightly larger, can provide a more accurate fit assessment.
Are these trainers unisex?
While some colorways and sizes may be marketed towards a specific gender, the design and technology of the Gel-NYC trainers are generally suitable for any adult wearer. Refer to specific product listings for gender designations if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit upon first wear.
This is common with leather and suede materials. Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your foot shape. Wearing slightly thicker socks during the break-in period can also help stretch them gently.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur due to moisture or friction between components. Ensure the insoles are dry and properly seated. If the sound persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.
Reduced cushioning over time.
The GEL and foam cushioning may compress with extensive use. While they offer long-lasting comfort, consider replacing the insoles with aftermarket ones if you notice a significant decrease in support and cushioning after prolonged wear.

Care Instructions:
- Uppers: For the leather and suede portions, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt. For stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by air drying. Avoid excessive water saturation.
- Mesh: Clean the mesh underlay gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow to air dry completely.
