FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for long-distance running?
While the GEL-NYC features comfort-oriented cushioning, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle trainer for everyday use rather than a high-performance distance running shoe.
How does the sizing run for this model?
The ASICS GEL-NYC typically fits true to size, but the structured silhouette may feel more secure than mesh-only alternatives. We recommend ordering your standard ASICS size.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your trainers as it can damage the glue and technical materials. Stick to manual spot cleaning.
What is the inspiration behind the GEL-NYC series?
The series is a creative mix of classic sneaker designs from the ASICS archive, reimagined for a modern, urban aesthetic.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the construction provides moderate arch support suitable for most neutral foot types, aided by the stability of the GEL-infused midsole.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to reduce pressure, or consider using thinner socks.
The outsole is losing grip
Clean the bottom of the soles with warm soapy water and a stiff brush to remove compacted debris or residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers maintain their condition, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft-bristled brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots; avoid submerging in water.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp materials.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the trainer over time.
- Compatibility: These are standard-fit adult trainers. If you use custom orthotics, ensure you remove the factory-issued insole before inserting your own.
