FAQs
Are the ASICS EX89 suitable for basketball?

Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Use a specialized white leather cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently buff away surface marks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through the top eyelet to secure the fit, or consider a double-knot method.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather shoes; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your ASICS EX89 trainers, it is essential to focus on proper maintenance. Since the upper is crafted from leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove debris. To maintain the crisp white appearance, consider using a specialized leather cleaner or a white shoe whitener for scuffs. Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension before walking to prevent excess heel slip, and always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack or shrink.
