FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for professional athletic training?

While the Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers feature advanced cushioning and support technologies, they are primarily designed for lifestyle wear and light workouts. For elite or specialized athletic training, consider models specifically engineered for those disciplines.

How do the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Cushioning and GEL-Scutoid Technology work together?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Cushioning provides a lightweight and responsive feel, enhancing dynamic movement. GEL-Scutoid Technology, integrated into the midsole, offers targeted shock absorption with its unique shape, contributing to overall softness and stability.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand wash using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.

What does 'eco-friendly' mean for this product?

The 'eco-friendly' designation indicates that the product is made partially from recycled materials. This contributes to a more sustainable manufacturing process by reducing waste and the demand for virgin resources.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Asics. These are unisex trainers, so ensure you check for any specific sizing guidance for men's or women's equivalents if needed, though the UK sizing is provided directly.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is a collaboration between Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS SportStyle. It draws inspiration from the STREAL 361 soccer spike and insulated grottos, incorporating technical welding and unique two-tone mesh influenced by artist Edith Dekynd.

Are there other colorways or sibling models available?

Yes, Asics often releases products in various colorways and series. While this guide focuses on the Purple/Yellow UK 9.5 model, other color families and secondary colors, as well as different sizes, may be available under related product listings.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or pressure points

Ensure the correct size is selected. Try adjusting the lacing pattern. Break in the shoes gradually with shorter wear periods.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The cushioning is designed for longevity but can degrade with extreme use. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose (lifestyle and light workouts).

Material discoloration or damage

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Follow recommended cleaning procedures carefully.

Squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. It may resolve with wear. Ensure insoles are seated correctly.

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

Compatibility: Designed as unisex footwear, they are suitable for adults. Their versatility allows them to be paired with a wide range of casual and athleisure outfits.

Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your Asics Gel-Kinetic Fluent trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks on the mesh or synthetic overlays, a mild soap solution can be applied sparingly with a soft brush, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
  2. Laces: Remove laces and wash separately by hand with mild soap and water.
  3. Midsole and Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the cushioning or rubber.
  4. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their color and material integrity.
