Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS GEL-NYC trainers remain in peak condition, follow these simple guidelines. For sizing, these shoes are standard adult male fit, so you should stick to your regular athletic footwear size. When the shoes become soiled, wipe the outer mesh and synthetic materials with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structural integrity and the GEL cushioning system. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive damage.
