FAQs
Is the ASICS EX89 suitable for basketball?
While it draws inspiration from basketball heritage, it is designed for lifestyle and casual use rather than performance court sports.
Does the leather upper stretch over time?
Leather provides some natural give, but it does not stretch as significantly as synthetic mesh fabrics.
What is the primary benefit of the FF Blast cushioning?
FF Blast provides improved shock absorption and energy return compared to the original cushioning used in the 1989 version.
How should I clean my white EX89 sneakers?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains or a dedicated leather sneaker cleaner, avoiding harsh chemicals that may strip the finish.
Are these true to size?
Yes, the EX89 generally fits true to standard adult sizing, but individual preference for room in the toe box may vary.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing scuff marks
Gently buff the area with a leather-safe conditioner or a soft cloth.
Heel slippage
Try the 'runner's loop' lacing technique to better secure the ankle.
Footbed feels damp after long wear
Remove the insole after use and allow the shoe to air-dry in a cool, shaded area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Modern FF Blast cushioning provides excellent heel comfort
- Classic basketball aesthetic matches a wide variety of casual outfits
- Durable leather upper material
- Stable construction suitable for all-day wear
Cons
- Leather material is not ideal for rainy conditions
- Heavier than modern technical running shoes
- Limited ventilation compared to mesh-based sneakers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the EX89 is constructed with leather, maintenance is key to longevity. Keep the shoes away from prolonged exposure to moisture to prevent material stiffening. To clean, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a secure lockdown, as the leather upper does not offer the same degree of stretch as textile alternatives. For compatibility, these sneakers pair best with denim or relaxed-fit casual trousers to complement their retro basketball profile.
