Are these trainers suitable for serious running?
While they incorporate performance technology, their design is heavily influenced by fashion collaborations. For serious competitive running, ASICS offers specialized running models. These are best suited for casual wear, daily activities, and light athletic pursuits.
How do I clean the 'Desert Camp' colorway?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution for general cleaning. For specific materials like suede or leather accents, use appropriate cleaning products designed for those materials and test on a hidden area first.
What does 'UB9-S' stand for?
UB9-S typically refers to a specific product line or collection within ASICS, often indicating a particular design philosophy or collaborative series. In this case, it denotes the collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov.
What size should I order?

What is the warranty on these trainers?
ASICS typically offers a standard warranty on their footwear against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the retailer's or ASICS' official website for specific warranty details applicable to your region and purchase.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
While the materials offer some protection, they are not waterproof. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to preserve their material integrity and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness on first wear
This is normal for new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Discoloration on specific materials
Consult the care instructions for specific material types. For the 'Desert Camp' colourway, use a specialized cleaner for suede or leather accents if applicable, and test on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
While GEL technology is durable, cushioning can lessen with extensive use. Consider rotating footwear for different activities to extend the life of the cushioning.
