Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gt-2160 Trainers in Black/Cream, size 13 UK, are designed for adults seeking a blend of heritage style and modern comfort. Inspired by the concept of imperfection, these trainers feature visible foam and cracked leather details, celebrating the beauty of aging. They retain the iconic design language of the original Gt-2160, including a sleek aesthetic and wavy forefoot sculpting, enhanced with 2010s-era details like a segmented midsole and GEL technology for advanced cushioning. A potential caveat is that the unique aesthetic, while intentional, may not appeal to all preferences.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Gt-2160 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and offer advanced cushioning for everyday comfort. While they provide good support, they are not specialized running shoes.
How do I best care for the cracked leather details?
Clean the cracked leather gently with a soft, damp cloth. The distressed look is intentional and part of the design's unique character. Avoid harsh cleaning agents.
What does 'Imperfection Pack' mean?
The 'Imperfection Pack' refers to a collection of ASICS footwear inspired by the idea of celebrating flaws and the beauty of aging. These trainers feature visible foam and cracked leather to reflect this concept.
Is the sizing standard UK adult sizing?
Yes, the sizing listed (e.g., UK 13) follows standard UK adult foot sizing conventions.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the trainers offer some protection, they are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their materials and longevity.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology in these trainers?
The GEL technology inserts provide excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints during wear. This enhances overall comfort, especially during prolonged use.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort after first wear
Allow a break-in period of a few wears. Ensure the correct size is being worn. Check lacing for optimal fit.
Scuff marks on cracked leather
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs are part of the intentional 'imperfection' aesthetic and may blend over time.
Squeaking sound
Check if the insole is properly seated or if there's moisture trapped. Try airing them out or applying a light powder under the insole.
