FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, while they are built with durable materials, they are not classified as waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain or deep puddles.

Can I use these for long-distance trail running?

While they are based on a trail-running model, this collaborative edition is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear; light trails are fine, but professional running gear is recommended for serious athletes.

How does the sizing compare to other ASICS models?

They generally follow standard ASICS sizing, though the collaborative design may feel slightly more structured than standard running models.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is a mix of high-quality textiles and synthetic overlays for durability, supported by a foam midsole with Gel inserts.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.

How do I maintain the color vibrancy?

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and store them in the original packaging when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Outer sole picking up debris

Use a specialized rubber brush to clear out pebbles or dirt from the trail-ready lugs.

Creasing in the toe box

Ensure you are using the correct size; insert a shoe tree immediately after use to help the materials hold their structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both street fashion and light outdoor activity
  • Superior comfort provided by signature Gel cushioning technology
  • Striking and unique Blue and Purple color palette
  • High build quality consistent with A.P.C. and ASICS standards

Cons

  • Specific aesthetic may not appeal to those preferring monochromatic styles
  • Limited stock availability due to the nature of collaboration releases
  • Lightweight construction means they lack the heavy-duty protection of dedicated hiking boots

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers remain in peak condition, proper care is essential.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dirt or dried mud from the outsole.
  • Moisture: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and utilize a shoe tree if you wish to maintain the original shape over time.

Compatibility:

  • These trainers fit standard adult sizing. For the best experience, ensure you have verified your UK foot size (10.5 in this variant) as the structured upper may feel more snug compared to casual canvas sneakers.
