FAQs
Are these ASICS Skyhand OG trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, the ASICS Skyhand OG trainers are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and style. They are not engineered for high-performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or intense workouts.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK men's sizing. We recommend checking ASICS' official sizing guide if you are unsure or comparing them to other ASICS shoes you own. Most users find ASICS sizing to be consistent.
What is the primary material composition of the shoe?
The upper part of this specific ASICS Skyhand OG variant is made from a combination of leather and suede. The sole is constructed from gum rubber. Please note that composition may vary slightly for other colorways.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended for trainers with leather and suede components. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided on the product label and in the care section of this guide.
What does 'archival '90s design' mean?
This means the design is inspired by or is a modern update of a popular or classic ASICS shoe model from their archives of the 1990s. It brings a retro, vintage aesthetic to a contemporary shoe.
Do different colorways have different material compositions?
Yes, as stated in the product description, the composition may vary between different colorways. Always check the specific product details for the particular color and style you are interested in.
Are these trainers water-resistant?
These trainers are not specifically designed to be water-resistant. While the leather and suede offer some natural resistance to light splashes, prolonged exposure to water or heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials and construction.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size 8.5. Adjust lacing to provide a snug yet comfortable fit. Allow for a short break-in period if they are new, as leather/suede can mold to your foot over time.
Materials appear dull or dirty after wear.
Use a soft brush (e.g., suede brush) to gently clean the uppers. For more persistent marks on leather, a damp cloth with mild soap can be used sparingly, followed by a dry wipe. Always refer to specific care instructions for leather and suede products.
Soles show wear or reduced grip.
The gum rubber soles are durable but will naturally wear over time. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended casual purpose, as excessive use on rough surfaces can accelerate wear. If grip is a concern, inspect the tread for embedded debris.

Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Skyhand OG trainers, please follow these general care guidelines and always refer to the specific product label inside the shoe for the most accurate instructions:
- Cleaning: For leather and suede areas, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stubborn marks, a specialized leather/suede cleaner can be used, following the product's instructions carefully. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing with tissue paper can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: Do not fully submerge the trainers in water, as this can damage the leather and suede materials.
- Composition Variation: Be aware that the exact care needed might slightly differ if you own a different colorway with varied material composition.
