Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of early 2000s trail-inspired aesthetics and modern urban style. Inspired by the serene Nunobiki waterfalls in Kobe, Japan, these unisex shoes feature a unique combination of matte and semi-shiny synthetic layers that mimic natural textures. While they offer a distinct visual appeal for everyday wear, users should note that they are lifestyle-oriented trainers rather than high-performance technical hiking gear.

FAQs
Are the GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers waterproof?
No, they are made with synthetic layers for aesthetic purposes and are not treated as waterproof footwear.
Can these be used for actual hiking?
While inspired by trail shoes, they are designed as lifestyle sneakers; we recommend using them for urban walking and casual use rather than rugged mountain trails.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the GEL-NUNOBIKI series is designed as unisex footwear for adults.
What inspired the design of this shoe?
The design pays tribute to the Nunobiki waterfalls in Kobe, Japan, incorporating design elements from the GEL-KAHANA 3 and GEL-TARGET.
How do I clean the semi-shiny synthetic panels?
Gently wipe the panels with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then wipe dry with a soft cloth to maintain their luster.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on textured layers
Use a soft dry brush to gently sweep out debris trapped in the crevices of the synthetic overlays.
Shoes feel slightly stiff upon first wear
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the synthetic materials to conform naturally to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-NUNOBIKI trainers stay in top condition:
- Fit: These trainers are available in various UK adult sizes. Always ensure the size matches your standard running or walking shoe fit to prevent discomfort.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the synthetic layers. For deeper stains, use a mild soap and a damp cloth. Avoid submerging in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this may degrade the semi-shiny finishes.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the synthetic materials from drying out or discolouring.
- Laces: Regularly check and tighten laces for optimal support, replacing them if they show signs of fraying.
