Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Ex89 is an ideal sneaker for fashion-conscious adults who appreciate vintage-inspired footwear paired with modern comfort technology. Originally designed by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s, this trainer offers a stylish layered leather aesthetic that works well for casual daily wear. While it provides excellent underfoot support thanks to updated cushioning, users should note that as a leather-based lifestyle shoe, it is best suited for urban environments rather than high-intensity athletic performance.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Ex89 shoes good for running?
No, these are lifestyle trainers. While they contain FF Blast cushioning, they lack the stability and support needed for running.
Do these sneakers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, though if you prefer extra room for thick socks, you may consider a half-size up.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft damp cloth for regular wiping. For tougher marks, use a leather-safe cleaning solution.
Is the leather genuine?
Yes, the Ex89 features a layered leather construction for both durability and premium styling.
Can I remove the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable if you need to insert your own custom orthotics.
What is the inspiration behind this shoe?
The Ex89 is inspired by the 1989 Gel-extreme basketball shoe originally designed by Toshikazu Kayano.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather shoes; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help the material maintain its shape.
Stiffness during initial wear
Wear the sneakers for short intervals at home to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.
Surface stains on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth, then buff dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Ex89 sneakers last as long as possible, regular maintenance is recommended. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. If the shoes get wet, air-dry them at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the fit, keep the laces adjusted so you can slide your foot in comfortably without crushing the heel counter.
