FAQs
What is the primary inspiration for the GT-2160 design?
The GT-2160 design is inspired by the technical aesthetics of the ASICS GT-2000 series from the early 2010s, specifically referencing its sleek look and wavy forefoot sculpting.
What type of cushioning does this trainer feature?
These trainers feature GEL™ Technology Cushioning inserts in the midsole, designed to provide advanced shock absorption and comfort.
Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic performance?
The GT-2160 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, inspired by heritage athletic styles. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like competitive running.
How should I clean the leather and mesh components?
Use a soft brush for dry dirt. For stains, a damp cloth with mild soap and water is recommended for both leather and mesh. Always air dry and avoid machine washing.
What materials are used in the construction of the GT-2160?
The trainers feature a mesh upper with leather overlays for support and durability, and a rubber outsole for traction.
Can I wear these trainers in wet conditions?
While the rubber outsole provides traction, the mesh upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or very wet conditions to protect the materials.
What does 'Oxblood' refer to in the color description?
Oxblood refers to a deep, rich shade of red, often with brownish undertones, which is used as an accent color in this particular White/Oxblood colorway.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and ensure your foot measurements are accurate. Consider trying a different size if available, as fit can vary slightly between models.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the laces are threaded through the eyelets correctly. Try different lacing techniques or consider replacing the laces if they are worn or slippery.
Discomfort after initial wear
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Check for any internal seams or materials causing irritation.
Mesh appears to be snagging
Be cautious around sharp objects or rough surfaces that could catch the mesh. If a small snag occurs, try to gently smooth it back into place. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods on the mesh.
