FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the UB-13-S GEL-SD LYTE design?

The design is inspired by orphic cubism and the concept of simultanism, featuring a cage-like mesh upper and multi-layered synthetic tiger stripe overlays.

Are these trainers suitable for running or athletic training?

These trainers are optimized for everyday urban wear, offering comfort and support for daily activities. They are not specifically designed for intense athletic training or running.

What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

The trainers feature a leather and mesh upper with synthetic overlays and a rubber outsole.

How should I clean the mesh upper?

Use a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid soaking the material or using strong cleaning agents.

What is the benefit of the GEL cushioning?

The advanced GEL cushioning provides superior shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet and joints for enhanced comfort during wear.

Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?

While the rubber outsole offers grip, the leather and mesh materials are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to mildly damp urban conditions. Allow them to dry naturally if they get wet.

What does 'UB-13-S' stand for?

While the exact meaning isn't detailed, 'UB' likely refers to a specific ASICS model line, and '13-S' denotes a variation within that series, potentially linked to the Kiko Kostadinov Studio collaboration.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Try wearing thinner socks or use the lacing system to adjust the fit. For initial wear, break them in by wearing them for short periods.

Discoloration on leather parts

Light discoloration can sometimes be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. For more persistent marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner suitable for the material, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Reduced cushioning effect over time

The GEL cushioning is designed for long-term durability. If the cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may be a sign of extensive wear. Consider replacing the shoes for optimal support and comfort.
