FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-NYC design?

The GEL-NYC draws inspiration from heritage ASICS running styles, specifically incorporating elements from the GEL-NIMBUS 3 and GEL-MC PLUS sneakers, combined with the GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling system.

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The GEL-NYC is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual wear, leveraging running shoe aesthetics and comfort. For marathon running, ASICS recommends specific performance running shoe models engineered for that purpose.

How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents, and allow them to air dry completely.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of breathable mesh and durable leather overlays.

What does GEL Technology do?

GEL Technology is ASICS' proprietary cushioning system that absorbs shock, providing excellent comfort and reducing impact on your feet and joints.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some protection, the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry or mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, consider water-resistant footwear.

What is the difference between the men's and women's versions?

While the core design and technology are similar, there can be differences in sizing, colorways, and sometimes slight variations in fit to accommodate gender-specific foot shapes.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Refer to the ASICS sizing chart or try them on if possible. Adjust lacing to find a secure but comfortable fit.

Cushioning feels insufficient.

GEL Technology provides cushioning, but for some, additional insoles may enhance comfort. Ensure the included insoles are properly positioned.

Creasing on leather overlays.

Creasing is natural with leather over time. To minimize it, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper storage. Specialized shoe trees can help maintain shape.

Soles show signs of wear.

The rubber outsole is durable but will wear down with heavy use. Rotate your footwear to distribute wear and tear. For significant wear, consider professional sole repair if feasible.
