FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the UB9-S Gel DS Trainer 14 design?

The design is inspired by reclaimed objects found in natural landscapes and the art of decoupage, featuring layered materials with matte hues and bright, opaque colors.

Does this shoe offer good support for athletic activities?

While it features rearfoot GEL technology for cushioning and a TRUSSTIC support unit for stability, it is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker and not for high-intensity athletic performance.

How should I clean these trainers?

Spot clean the upper with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals to preserve the materials and design.

Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but the mesh underlays may not offer full waterproofing. They are best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

What does 'Curation Model' mean in this context?

'Curation Model' signifies a special selection or collaborative creation, in this case, by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle development team, highlighting a unique artistic direction.

Can these trainers be worn by both men and women?

Yes, the ASICS UB9-S Gel DS Trainer 14 is a unisex model designed for adult wear.

What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC support unit?

The TRUSSTIC support unit is designed to provide stability in the midfoot area, helping to control pronation and support the foot during movement.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually with short periods of wear.

Traction seems reduced

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might be affecting grip.

Color transfer from bright accents

Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored fabrics, especially when the shoes are new or exposed to moisture, as some color transfer may occur.
