Curated style by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle development team. The UB9-S GEL-DS TRAINER 14 sneaker draws design inspiration from the ideas of découpage and natural simulacrum. These details reflect nature's imprint and its impact of discarded and reclaimed objects in natural landscapes. Opaque and bright colors are contrasted with matte hues to highlight the connection between nature and humanity. The upper's layered materials are symbolic of fossils and petrology while the moiré surfaces reflect the surfaces of ready-made everyday objects. This midsole's tooling shape features a sleeker construction that's met with comfortable cushioning properties. Its lightweight design is also paired with a TRUSSTIC support unit for stability and rearfoot GEL technology for impact absorption.
