Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GT-2160 JJJJound White is designed for adults seeking a blend of retro running aesthetics and modern comfort. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive design, drawing inspiration from early 2010s running shoes, enhanced with contemporary materials and colorways. A potential caveat for some users might be its fashion-forward design, which may not align with purely performance-focused athletic needs. This technical running sneaker revives elements of the GT-2000 series from 2011, featuring a breathable white mesh base with striking black, gray, and neon yellow accents. Its construction includes wavy lines on the forefoot and a segmented midsole, complemented by GEL inserts for impact protection.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try loosening the laces and re-tying them with a different tension. If discomfort persists, consider the shoe's intended fit, which may be snugger due to its running shoe heritage.
Mesh upper appears dirty.
Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cool water to gently clean the mesh. Blot away excess moisture and allow to air dry. Avoid machine washing or harsh scrubbing.
Neon yellow accents fading.
Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and heat when drying or storing the shoes, as this can cause colors to fade over time. Store in a dark, cool place.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently clean the white mesh upper with a soft cloth or brush dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the mesh.
- Midsole and Outsole: Wipe the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, a specialized shoe cleaner can be used sparingly.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause discoloration or material degradation.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe box or bag to protect them from dust and prolonged light exposure.
