FAQs

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

The design is inspired by the art movement 'simultanism', featuring contrasting color palettes and an abstract, cage-like construction on the upper, reflecting ideas of form and function.

Are these trainers suitable for running or intense sports?

The UB13-S GEL-SD-LYTE trainers are primarily designed as lifestyle footwear. They feature GEL™ technology for comfort during walking and everyday activities, but are not optimized for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the multicolor mesh upper?

Gently wipe the mesh with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to preserve the material and intricate design.

What does 'simultanism' mean in relation to the shoe's design?

In this context, simultanism refers to the artistic principle of presenting multiple viewpoints or elements simultaneously. For the shoe, this translates to the use of contrasting colors and abstract patterns applied across different material sections.

Can I remove and wash the insoles?

If the insoles are removable, you can hand-wash them with mild soap and water and allow them to air dry completely. Ensure they are fully dry before reinserting them into the trainers.

What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

The trainers are constructed with a mesh upper and leather overlays, a rubber outsole, and feature ASICS' GEL™ technology cushioning in the midsole.

How do I ensure I purchase the correct size?

Refer to ASICS' official sizing guide for accurate measurements. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided size chart. Note that UK sizing is specified for this model.

Troubleshooting

Slight color variation between left and right shoe

This is an intended design feature due to the abstract and contrasting color application inspired by simultanism. Each shoe has a unique color placement.

Initial stiffness in leather overlays

Leather overlays may feel stiff initially. Wear the shoes for short periods to break them in gradually. Applying a leather conditioner specifically designed for sneakers can also help soften the material over time.

Mesh appears delicate

The mesh material is designed for breathability and a lightweight feel. Avoid exposing the shoes to sharp objects or excessive abrasion that could snag or tear the mesh.

Discomfort during long wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles for additional arch support or cushioning, as the standard insoles are designed for general comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: The UB13-S GEL-SD-LYTE trainers are designed as a versatile lifestyle shoe. They pair well with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, joggers, shorts, and modern streetwear. Their artistic design makes them a statement piece, best complemented by simpler outfits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the mesh and leather with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials and the intricate design.
  2. Lining and Insoles: If the insoles are removable, they can be hand-washed with mild soap and water and air-dried completely. For the interior lining, use a damp cloth to wipe away any surface dirt.
  3. Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and a soft brush to remove dirt and debris. Ensure no mud or grit is trapped in the tread.
  4. Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause materials to shrink or fade.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to protect them from dust and potential damage.
