Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of style and comfort in their footwear, particularly those who appreciate a modern aesthetic with athletic heritage.

FAQs
What is GEL technology in ASICS shoes?
GEL technology is a silicone-based cushioning system used by ASICS. It's strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, reduce impact on joints, and provide a softer landing during activities.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While the GT-2160 features cushioning, they are primarily designed as lifestyle or 'contend' trainers, balancing style and comfort for everyday wear. For dedicated running, ASICS recommends specific running shoe models engineered for performance and impact absorption during runs.
How do I find my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart available on their official website or consult with a retailer. Measure your foot length and compare it with the provided conversion table. Note that sizing can vary slightly between models.
What does the 'Ub7-S' in some model names mean?
The 'Ub7-S' designation often indicates a specific collection or collaboration, such as the one with Kiko Kostadinov Studio. These models may feature unique design elements or colorways.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the process can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology. Hand wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between the GT-2160 and other ASICS trainers?
The GT-2160 is part of a specific series, often updated with modern aesthetics and collaborative designs, while retaining the core comfort and cushioning expected from ASICS. Its primary focus is often on lifestyle and casual wear, compared to performance-focused running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Laces won't stay tied
Ensure the laces are being tied using a standard bow knot and that they are not excessively slippery. If they continue to slip, consider replacing them with a different material.
Discomfort after wearing
Verify that the size is correct and that the laces are adjusted properly for a snug but not tight fit. Break in the shoes with shorter periods of wear initially.
Fabric appears dirty quickly
Follow the recommended cleaning steps using a damp cloth and mild soap. Regular spot cleaning can prevent dirt from setting in.
