FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the ASICS US6-S UB13-S GEL-SD LYTE design?

The design is inspired by artistic concepts such as orphic cubism and simultanism, featuring a cage-like mesh upper and layered overlays that play with visual depth and contrasting colors.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense athletic activities?

These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light training. While they offer comfort and support, they are not specialized for high-impact sports like competitive running.

How do I clean the gradient effect on the mesh upper?

Clean the mesh gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the gradient pattern.

What does 'Curation Model by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio' mean?

It signifies that the design of this specific model was a collaborative effort or curated by the Kiko Kostadinov Studio in partnership with ASICS, bringing a unique design perspective to the shoe.

Does the 'Olive Grey/Rust Orange' colorway differ between the left and right shoe?

Yes, the design embodies the concept of simultanism, with neutral palettes offset by contrasting tones applied differently to each shoe's cage-like construction, creating a unique visual effect.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL™ Technology Cushioning?

The GEL™ Technology Cushioning provides excellent shock absorption, reducing impact on the feet and joints, which contributes to overall comfort during wear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The rubber outsole provides good grip, but the mesh upper is not fully waterproof. They can handle light moisture, but prolonged exposure to heavy rain is not recommended.

Troubleshooting

Torn mesh or peeling overlays

Avoid abrasive cleaning methods and excessive force. For minor peeling, a small amount of leather or fabric glue specifically designed for footwear might be carefully applied. Consult a professional shoe repair service for significant damage.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The GEL™ cushioning is designed for longevity but can degrade over time with heavy use. Ensure you are not exceeding recommended use patterns. If the cushioning feels significantly diminished, it may be time to consider replacement.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to friction between components or moisture. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder or cornstarch under the insole or around the tongue area. Ensure the shoes are completely dry.
