I've worn these about 3 times, just for walking. There's some color transfer from the denim, but I don't think there are any noticeable scratches or damage. The GEL-NYC is a sneaker inspired by heritage and modern running styles. The upper is based on the GEL-NIMBUS 3, with a design that incorporates various embellishments from the MC-PLUS V. The sole uses the tooling system of the GEL-CUMULUS 16, expressing a retro atmosphere and contrast. The combination of lightweight foam and GEL technology provides excellent comfort. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Instant purchase is OK, but please avoid making complaints after purchase, so please ask any questions you have before purchasing. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ asics gel-nyc gel-lyte ASICS SPORTSTYLE
