FAQs
What is GEL Technology?
GEL Technology is an ASICS cushioning system designed with a special-shaped silicone that absorbs shock and provides excellent shock absorption. It is strategically placed in the midsole to enhance comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Gel-NYC Trainers are inspired by heritage running style and are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specialized for high-performance running.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The trainers feature a combination of mesh and leather for the upper, and a rubber outsole for durability and traction.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. It is often recommended to try them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals. This model is available in UK adult sizes.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and the GEL Technology cushioning. Hand cleaning with mild soap and water is the preferred method.
What is the main design inspiration for the Gel-NYC?
The Gel-NYC draws inspiration from heritage running styles, blending modern and retro aesthetics.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel slightly tight on arrival
Leather and mesh can adapt over time. Wear them for short periods initially. If persistent, consider using thicker socks during wear to help stretch them slightly, or consult shoe care guides for leather stretching techniques.
Laces are difficult to keep tied
Ensure laces are tied using a secure knot. If the laces are smooth or worn, consider replacing them with textured laces that offer better grip.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. On wet surfaces, traction may be reduced. Exercise caution and ensure the soles are free from mud or debris which can further impair grip.

Care Instructions:

- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
- Soles: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure any debris is removed from the tread for optimal traction.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe box or dust bag to maintain their condition.
