FAQs

Are ASICS GT-2160 trainers suitable for running?

The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering superior comfort for daily activities and urban exploration rather than high-performance running or intense athletic training.

How do I clean my ASICS GT-2160 trainers?

Gently brush off any loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth or brush to spot clean the mesh and synthetic areas. Always air dry them away from direct heat.

What is ASICS GEL technology?

ASICS GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system strategically placed in the midsole. It's designed to absorb shock during impact and provide enhanced comfort and stability.

Can I wear these trainers in all weather conditions?

The mesh and synthetic upper provides breathability, which is great for everyday wear. However, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain or snow to help preserve their material and condition.

What does '2010s design language' mean for these trainers?

This refers to the ASICS GT-2160 trainers drawing inspiration from the aesthetic and structural design principles of the ASICS GT-2000 series popular in the 2010s. It's a tribute to that era's specific visual and technical elements, such as the segmented midsole.

How can I ensure the best fit?

It's best to try on trainers at the end of the day when your feet are at their largest. Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe, and that your heel feels secure without slipping as you walk.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure laces are not overtightened. Loosen them and re-tie for a more relaxed fit. Verify you have the correct size; foot size can change, and wearing the wrong size can cause discomfort.

Foot discomfort after long periods of wear.

While designed for comfort, individual foot needs vary. Consider trying different lacing techniques for more support or looking into aftermarket insoles that offer additional arch support or cushioning tailored to your foot type.

Trainers are getting dirty quickly or stains are hard to remove.

Increase frequency of light cleaning (brushing off dirt). For tougher stains, use a dedicated shoe cleaner or a paste of baking soda and a small amount of water, gently scrubbing with a soft brush, then wiping clean with a damp cloth.

Slipping on certain indoor or wet surfaces.

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of debris. While designed for traction, no shoe is entirely slip-proof on all surfaces. Exercise caution on extremely slick or wet ground.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the shoes.

Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles occasionally to air them separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle a small amount of baking soda inside when not in use to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.

  • Outfit Matching: Highly versatile due to its black colorway, compatible with casual, sporty, and smart-casual attire.

Care

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your ASICS GT-2160 trainers, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt or dust with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush) after each wear. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) mixed with water. Apply the solution with a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Laces: Remove laces and wash them separately by hand with mild soap, or replace them if they are too worn or dirty.
  3. Drying: Always air dry your trainers away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or tumble dryers). Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
  4. Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Keeping them in their original box can help protect them from dust and maintain their form.
