FAQs
Are the ASICS Gel-NYC trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-NYC are designed primarily as lifestyle trainers, blending retro aesthetics with comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking and daily wear, they are not engineered for the specific support and performance demands of serious running.
How do I clean the White Steel Grey colorway?
For the white mesh, use a soft brush with mild soap and water. For the Steel Grey synthetic overlays, a damp cloth should suffice. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the main benefit of the Gel cushioning?
The signature Gel cushioning in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints, and enhancing overall comfort for all-day wear.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The trainers offer some protection, but the mesh upper is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp conditions. For heavy rain, waterproof footwear is recommended.
What is the origin of the Gel-NYC design?
The design is inspired by classic ASICS running profiles, integrating retro design elements with modern technology for a contemporary look and feel.
Do these trainers have good grip?
The outsole is inspired by ASICS' performance heritage and provides reliable traction for everyday wear on various urban surfaces.
What size should I get if I'm between sizes?
ASICS trainers generally offer a snug fit. If you are between sizes, it is often recommended to go up half a size for more room, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes be caused by moisture. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. If the sound persists, it might be friction between components; try sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe near the tongue.
Reduced cushioning effect
The Gel cushioning may take some time to break in. If the shoes feel less supportive over time, ensure they are clean and have not been excessively compressed. For significant degradation, replacement may be necessary.
Difficulty cleaning white mesh
Use a specialized shoe cleaner for white mesh or a mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents, which can damage the material.
Poor grip on certain surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip is optimized for urban surfaces; performance on very wet or oily surfaces may be limited.
