FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC 2.0?

What technologies are used for cushioning?
The shoe features GEL cushioning inserts and FF BLAST PLUS technology in the midsole, designed to provide a soft and bouncy ride.
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning for daily wear and light activity, the GEL-NYC 2.0 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer, not for performance-level marathon running.
How should I clean the suede parts of the shoes?
Gently clean suede with a soft brush or a specialized suede eraser. Avoid water and harsh cleaning agents. For protection, consider a suede protector spray.
What does the 'TRUSSTIC' technology do?
The TPU TRUSSTIC technology enhances midfoot stability and torsional rigidity, providing a more secure and supportive feel.
What is the main benefit of the rubber outsole?
The tonal rubber outsole is designed to offer reliable grip and traction specifically for urban environments, ensuring stability on various city surfaces.

Troubleshooting
Sizing feels off
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide and measure your foot. Consider the UK sizing mentioned in product details. If possible, try them on before purchase or check return policies.
Material feels stiff initially
This is common with new suede and synthetic materials. Wear the shoes around the house for short periods to break them in. The cushioning will also soften with use.
Suede scuffs easily
Use a suede eraser to gently remove scuff marks. Applying a suede protector spray can help prevent future marks and water damage.
