Product Information
Full details
The ASICS EX89 Trainers are designed for adult males seeking a blend of retro basketball style and modern comfort for everyday wear. They offer a premium leather construction with updated cushioning for enhanced shock absorption. A potential consideration is that their design is rooted in a 1989 basketball shoe, so while updated, the aesthetic may appeal more to those who appreciate vintage styles.

FAQs
Are the ASICS EX89 Trainers suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the EX89 is updated for modern lifestyle wear. They offer good cushioning for walking and standing, but are not designed for the high-impact demands of playing basketball.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from premium, layered leather.
How does the FF BLAST™ cushioning work?
FF BLAST™ is a lightweight and resilient foam cushioning that provides excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel in the heel.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner or a dedicated white leather cleaner is recommended. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first.
What is the inspiration behind the outsole design?
The outsole pattern is inspired by the designer's first business trip to the United States in 1987, mimicking the view of a city from the sky.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these are not waterproof. It's best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. If they do get wet, dry them naturally and consider applying a leather protectant spray.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels slightly off
ASICS sizing can vary slightly. If the fit is not ideal, consider trying a half-size up or down. Ensure your socks are of a standard thickness when trying them on.
Leather creasing or scuffing
Natural creasing is normal with leather. For minor scuffs, use a leather conditioner or a cream polish that matches the shoe color. Avoid excessive exposure to rough surfaces.
Discoloration of the white leather
Clean regularly with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated white leather cleaner. Protectant sprays can help prevent future staining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ASICS EX89 Trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. No assembly or setup is required.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult male footwear sizing (UK sizes available). They are intended for casual lifestyle wear and are not specifically designed for performance athletic activities.
Care: To maintain the quality and appearance of your EX89 Trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protectant spray to guard against water and stains.
