FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
While the GEL-DS TRAINER 14 incorporates advanced cushioning and support technologies, it is primarily designed as a 'SportStyle' sneaker for casual wear and light activities, not high-performance running or competitive training.
How do I clean the leather parts of the sneaker?
For the leather components, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized leather cleaner as per the product's instructions. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
What does 'TRUSSTIC Support System' do?
The TRUSSTIC Support System is a technology found in the midfoot area of the shoe that enhances stability. It prevents excessive twisting and provides structural integrity, contributing to a more controlled and comfortable stride.
Is the sizing true to fit?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for a comfortable fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
The mesh upper and leather overlays are not waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended and may affect the materials. Consider a water-repellent spray for added protection.
What is the inspiration behind the design?
The design of the UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14, curated by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio, explores concepts of "natural simulacrum" and nature’s imprint. It features layered materials evoking fossilisation and moiré surfaces reflecting everyday objects, giving it a unique, conceptual aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
Check if the insole is properly seated. Sometimes removing, cleaning, and re-inserting the insole can resolve this. If the squeak persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole may help.
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Try adjusting the lacing to be less restrictive, especially over the arch. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot.
Upper material appears dirty or scuffed
Clean the mesh with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For leather and synthetic overlays, use a leather cleaner or a specific sneaker cleaning solution, following product instructions. Avoid abrasive scrubbing.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If wear is significant, consider the shoe's age and usage.

Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your sneakers:
- Cleaning: For the mesh upper, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. For the leather and synthetic overlays, use a specialized leather cleaner or a damp cloth to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Always air dry your sneakers away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Stains: Address stains promptly. For stubborn marks, a soft brush can be used on the rubber outsole, but be gentle on the upper materials.
