FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
While the GEL-DS TRAINER series has a performance heritage, this specific Kiko Kostadinov collaboration leans more towards lifestyle and fashion. For serious marathon running, dedicated ASICS running shoes with advanced stability and cushioning features would be more appropriate.
What makes the 'Desert Camp Piquant Orange' colorway special?
This specific colorway is part of the Kiko Kostadinov collaboration, featuring a unique blend of earthy tones ('Desert Camp') with a vibrant accent ('Piquant Orange'), reflecting the designer's distinctive aesthetic.
How do I know if I have the correct UK size?
It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it against the official ASICS size guide for UK men's or women's footwear. Remember that fit can also be influenced by foot width.
Can I clean these trainers with soap and water?
It is best to avoid harsh soaps and excessive water. A slightly damp cloth and gentle wiping are recommended. For stubborn dirt, a very mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth to rinse.
Is the Kiko Kostadinov collaboration a limited edition?
Collaborations with designers like Kiko Kostadinov are often produced in limited quantities, meaning availability may be restricted and they might sell out quickly.
What is the main difference between this and standard ASICS trainers?
The primary difference lies in the design collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov, resulting in a unique color palette and aesthetic, often with premium finishing touches, positioning it more as a fashion item compared to standard performance trainers.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The ASICS UB9-S Gel DS Trainer 14 incorporates ASICS' standard cushioning and sole structure, which provides moderate support suitable for general wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, an insole or orthotic insert might be considered.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and compare with your usual shoe size. Consider trying them on if possible, or checking reviews for fit feedback. Different models can have slight variations.
Color transfer onto socks or clothing
This can sometimes occur with heavily dyed footwear, especially when new or wet. Ensure socks are properly colored. If the issue persists, a protective spray designed for footwear might help minimize color bleeding, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning after some use
ASICS GEL cushioning is designed for durability, but prolonged high-impact use can eventually reduce its effectiveness. For everyday wear, the cushioning should remain consistent for a significant period. If you notice a marked decrease, consider rotating with other footwear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: As footwear, these trainers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These are unisex trainers designed for adult foot sizes. Ensure you select the correct UK size for optimal fit.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the materials and construction.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box, to protect them from dust and prevent deformation. Rotate wear if possible to allow the cushioning to recover.
