Troubleshooting
Creasing in the upper material
This is common with retro-style uppers; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structure.
Difficulty cleaning the mesh or foam sections
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the textures without applying harsh cleaning agents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-NYC trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes fit according to standard adult UK sizing; verify your size against your current ASICS rotation.
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dry dirt after use. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for localized stains; avoid machine washing or heavy soaking to preserve the foam integrity.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation or color fading.
- Rotation: Allow the cushioning to recover by rotating your trainers if worn daily.
