Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of curated style and functional design, inspired by themes of interlaced assemblages and functional utopias. Their key benefit lies in a unique aesthetic that merges soft textures with handcrafted elements and a distinctive matte and washed color appearance.

FAQs
What is the primary inspiration behind the GT-2160?
The GT-2160 draws inspiration from interlaced assemblages, functional utopias, and Mino ceramics, as interpreted by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS Sportstyle Development Team.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While built on a heritage running shoe platform, the GT-2160 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes.
How do the colorways relate to nature?
Certain variations feature grid-like patterns and bold colors directly correlated with nature, often enhanced with metallic structures that accentuate the materials.
What does the 'Mino Ceramic' influence refer to?
This refers to exploring contemporary processes found in Mino glazes, such as rust-like qualities, to create a visual effect of degraded colors that possess a timeless appeal.
What materials are used in the GT-2160?
The trainers utilize a combination of materials including double-layer mesh, synthetics, and other textiles, depending on the specific colorway and design iteration.
How should I care for the unique finishes on these trainers?
Carefully wipe with a damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals. For textured areas, a soft brush can be used. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is this shoe available in different colors and sizes?
Yes, the GT-2160 series comes in various color families and sizes. Please check specific product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Sizing seems off
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider the intended use – snug for performance, slightly looser for casual wear. For these fashion-focused trainers, focus on overall comfort.
Color transfer on socks
This can occur with new dyed textiles. Wash socks separately for the first few wears or choose darker socks. The color should stabilize after initial wears.
Material feels stiff initially
New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Difficulty cleaning specific textures
Use a soft-bristled brush (like an old toothbrush) to gently lift dirt from textured areas before wiping with a damp cloth.
