FAQs

What makes the design of the UB13-S GEL-SD LYTE unique?

The design is inspired by orphic cubism and the concept of simultanism, featuring a distinctive cage-like mesh upper with gradients and layered overlays, reflecting a curated artistic vision.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

These trainers are primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear, offering comfort and style. While they feature GEL™ cushioning and a rubber outsole, they are not optimized for high-impact athletic training.

How do I clean the gradient mesh upper?

Gently clean the mesh upper with a soft brush or a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the gradient effect or the material.

What is the role of the Kiko Kostadinov Studio in this shoe?

The Kiko Kostadinov Studio collaborated with ASICS to curate the design, bringing an artistic and conceptual approach to the sneaker's aesthetic and overall look.

What kind of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

Given the mesh upper and unique design, ankle socks or no-show socks in neutral or complementary colors work well to maintain the shoe's aesthetic focus.

How does the GEL™ cushioning benefit the wearer?

The GEL™ cushioning technology is strategically placed to absorb shock during impact, providing enhanced comfort and reducing stress on the feet and joints during daily activities.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber outsole offers some traction, the mesh upper is not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain to prevent water absorption and potential damage to the materials.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a strong knot. Consider replacing them with different textured laces that may hold better.

Discomfort after prolonged wear

Ensure you have the correct size and fit. The GEL™ cushioning may need a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially.

Mesh upper appears dirty quickly

Regularly brush off loose dirt. For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth and mild soap, then rinse with a clean damp cloth. Ensure complete drying before wearing.

Slipping on wet surfaces

While the rubber outsole provides grip, caution is advised on extremely wet or polished surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean for optimal traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Unique, artistic design that stands out.
  • Comfortable cushioning for daily wear.
  • Durable construction with quality materials.
  • Heritage-inspired details add character.
  • Good traction from the rubber outsole.

Cons

  • The avant-garde design may not suit all personal styles.
  • Requires careful consideration for outfit coordination.
  • Mesh upper might be less durable against abrasions compared to solid materials.
  • Primarily fashion-focused, may not be ideal for intense athletic training.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. They are compatible with most casual and athleisure wear. To care for your ASICS UB13-S GEL-SD LYTE trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Lining and Insoles: If the insoles are removable, take them out and hand wash them with mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to maintain grip and appearance.
  4. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and prevent deformation.
