FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the ASICS UB-13S GEL-SD LYTE design?
The design is inspired by orphic cubism and the concept of simultanism, curated by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS.
Are these trainers suitable for running?
These trainers are designed for everyday urban wear and offer comfort and support for walking. While they feature GEL cushioning, they are not specifically engineered as performance running shoes for intense athletic activity.
How do I clean the cage-like mesh upper?
Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the mesh. For more persistent dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the shoes air dry naturally afterwards.
What materials are used in the construction?
The upper is constructed from textile and synthetic materials, including multi-layered synthetic tiger stripe overlays.
What kind of grip does the outsole provide?
The trainers feature a rubber outsole designed to provide reliable grip and traction on typical urban surfaces.
Can I wear these with different outfits?
Yes, the retro runner silhouette and unique design make them versatile for pairing with casual outfits such as jeans, shorts, or athleisure wear.
Is this shoe available in other colors or sizes?
This specific listing is for the 'Black Coffee/Midnight' colorway in UK 11.5. Other colorways and sizes may be available under different product listings.
Troubleshooting
Reduced cushioning after prolonged use
The GEL cushioning may naturally compress over time. Ensure the shoe is clean, as dirt can sometimes affect perceived comfort. Consider rotating with another pair of shoes to extend the life of the cushioning.
Discomfort in the arch area
The shoe's design may not perfectly match your foot's arch. Consider using aftermarket insoles designed for arch support. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Upper materials appear worn
Gentle cleaning with a damp cloth and appropriate shoe care products can help maintain the appearance of the textile and synthetic materials. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive wear or abrasive surfaces.
