FAQs
What makes the Asics UB-13-S Gel SD Lyte unique?
The unique design stems from a collaboration with the Kiko Kostadinov Studio, drawing inspiration from orphic cubism and featuring a distinctive cage-like mesh upper with a visible gradient and layered tiger stripes.
Are these shoes suitable for running or athletic training?
These trainers are optimized for daily urban wear and casual comfort. While they feature running shoe elements and GEL cushioning, they are not designed for high-performance athletic activities.
How should I clean the gradient mesh upper?
Clean the upper gently with a soft cloth slightly dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid vigorous scrubbing to preserve the gradient effect and material integrity.
What is the primary benefit of the GEL cushioning?
The Asics GEL cushioning provides advanced shock absorption, reducing impact on your joints and offering a comfortable, supportive feel throughout the day.
What materials are the shoes made of?
The shoes typically feature a combination of textile and synthetic materials for the upper, with a rubber outsole and GEL cushioning technology in the midsole.
Can I wear these in wet weather?
While the rubber outsole offers some grip, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain may saturate the materials.
What size options are available?
These trainers are available in various UK adult men's sizes. Please refer to the product listings for specific size availability.
Troubleshooting
Discomfort or rubbing
Ensure you have the correct size and width. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check that laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose.
Reduced cushioning effect over time
While GEL cushioning is durable, its effect may lessen with extensive use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help maintain performance. Consider rotating with other footwear for longer-lasting comfort.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good grip on dry surfaces, but caution is advised on very wet or slippery conditions. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris that could affect traction.
Mesh upper damage
Avoid snagging the mesh on sharp objects. Clean gently with a damp cloth; do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could degrade the mesh.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Asics UB-13-S Gel SD Lyte trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a soft cloth slightly dampened with cool water and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the gradient mesh.
- Laces: Remove laces and hand wash them separately if needed. Allow them to air dry completely.
- Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt on the outsole, a soft brush can be used.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (like radiators or in direct sunlight) as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
