Product Information
Full details
The ASICS EX89 is designed for adult wearers who appreciate a fusion of 1980s basketball heritage and contemporary footwear comfort. By pairing a classic layered leather aesthetic with advanced modern cushioning, it serves as a versatile everyday trainer, though its heritage-inspired structure is better suited for casual wear than high-intensity athletic performance.

How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Use professional leather care products for stubborn stains.

Yes, it generally fits consistently with other ASICS adult trainer sizing.
Who originally designed the shoe it is based on?
The original GEL-EXTREME model was created by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to maintain shape and prevent deep, permanent creases.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or a matching white polish to buff out minor marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. To maintain the leather upper, keep them away from excessive moisture and store them in a cool, dry place. If the leather gets dirty, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth and use a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the leather grain. For best results, use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather retain its shape and minimize deep creasing at the toe box.
