FAQs
Is the ASICS Ex89 suitable for high-intensity sports?
No, these are classified as lifestyle trainers. While they feature cushioning, they do not provide the specialized support or breathability needed for high-intensity basketball or running.
How should I clean the white leather?
Use a mild leather cleaner or a damp cloth with gentle soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or submerging the shoes in water.
Does the sizing run true?
The Ex89 generally runs true to standard athletic sizing, though the structured leather may feel tighter at first compared to knit shoes.
What is the benefit of the FF Blast cushioning?
FF Blast is a lightweight, responsive foam that provides superior shock absorption, making the shoes comfortable for walking long distances.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While leather offers more protection than mesh, they are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protectant spray to repel light moisture.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
Feeling too stiff during initial wear
The leather upper needs time to mold to your foot; wear them for short periods initially to gradually break them in.
Dirt buildup in the outsole tread
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently dislodge debris from the complex city-view patterned tread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the Ex89 features a layered leather upper, it is important to treat the material to prevent staining and water damage. Use a leather-safe cleaner and a soft brush to remove surface dirt after use. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and the structural integrity of the leather. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate socks for your activity level, as the leather construction provides a firm, structured hold that does not stretch as much as fabric-based shoes. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the color vibrancy.
