ASICS Gel NYC Trainers - Black, Size 9

The ASICS Gel NYC trainers are designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, featuring comfort-enhancing GEL™ Technology. For dedicated running activities, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models with features optimized for performance and support during high-impact running.

The design is inspired by the industrial elements and 'The Architecture of Everyday Life' found in New York City, as interpreted by HAL STUDIOS for the Signature Series.

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on the product page or retailer's website. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it with the provided measurements, as sizing can vary between models.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and overall structure of the trainers.

The Gel NYC 2.0 typically represents an updated iteration of the original Gel NYC, often featuring refinements in materials, construction, or aesthetic details based on user feedback and design evolution.

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature a mesh upper which allows for breathability but offers limited protection against water ingress.

For comfort and breathability, especially given the mesh upper, breathable athletic or casual socks made from materials like cotton blends or moisture-wicking synthetics are recommended.

Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the lacing is adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them on different surfaces or ensure the insoles are properly seated. If persistent, consult retailer.

Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, consider a leather conditioner or polish suitable for the material.

The rubber outsole provides good traction, but like all footwear, performance on very wet or slippery surfaces may be reduced. Exercise caution in such conditions.
