FAQs
Is the Asics EX89 suitable for sports?
While inspired by basketball shoes, the EX89 is designed as a lifestyle trainer and is not intended for professional athletic performance.
Does the EX89 run true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to size for adult feet, though individual preference for width may vary.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth and leather-specific cleaning solution. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemical solvents.
What is the benefit of FF Blast cushioning?
FF Blast is a lightweight foam that provides responsive rebound and excellent shock absorption, making it more comfortable than traditional foam.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to guard against light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the leather maintain its shape and absorb moisture.
Stains on the leather upper
Gently wipe with a dedicated leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water; avoid abrasive scrubbers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics EX89 sneakers remain in top condition, start by applying a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear. Because the upper is leather, avoid submerging the shoes in water. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface debris and a damp cloth with mild leather cleaner for marks. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to dry out or crack over time. If the laces become soiled, remove them and wash separately with mild soap.
