FAQs

What is the primary inspiration behind the design of these trainers?

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

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While they feature a retro running shoe silhouette and GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed for everyday wear and urban exploration rather than high-performance athletic running.

How do I clean the mesh upper?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the mesh. Avoid abrasive cleaners or soaking the shoes.

What is the purpose of the Trusstic stabilizer?

The Trusstic stabilizer provides midfoot integrity and torsional stability, enhancing the shoe's overall support.

What makes the GEL cushioning system beneficial?

The GEL cushioning offers superior shock absorption and a responsive feel, contributing to all-day comfort and reducing impact on your joints.

Can I wear these trainers with shorts?

Yes, the retro running shoe silhouette makes them a versatile choice that pairs well with shorts, jeans, and other casual attire.

What are the main colors of this specific 'Kelp/Sage' model?

The primary colors are 'Kelp' and 'Sage' for the upper, with striking yellow accents on the tiger stripes and other details.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight initially

This is common with new trainers. Wear them for short periods indoors to allow them to break in and conform to your feet. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure the laces are tied securely using a standard knot. If the issue persists, try a double knot or consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.

Slight color transfer onto socks

In rare cases, initial wear, especially in damp conditions, might lead to minor color transfer from the inner lining or darker overlays. This is usually temporary and should subside after a few wears. Ensure you are wearing socks that can handle potential dye transfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers require no specific setup beyond wearing them. They are compatible with standard socks. To care for your ASICS UB13-S GEL-SD LYTE trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust from the mesh and synthetic overlays. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Wipe down the midsole and outsole with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth wipe.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can warp the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain their condition and color.
