FAQs
Are the ASICS EX89 trainers suitable for running?
No, the EX89 is designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer rather than a performance running shoe.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and never machine wash.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather for durability and a classic aesthetic.
Are these shoes true to size?
The EX89 fits true to standard UK adult sizes; please refer to the size guide if you are between sizes.
Can these be worn in rainy weather?
While the leather is durable, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather and the white finish.
What is the inspiration behind the EX89 design?
The EX89 takes design cues from heritage basketball styles, bringing a retro look to modern casual wear.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on white leather surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the affected area immediately after exposure.
Creasing at the toe box
While natural in leather shoes, you can minimize creasing by using shoe trees when the sneakers are not being worn.
Stiff fit during initial wear
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period; wear them for short intervals indoors to allow the material to soften and conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS EX89 trainers remain in top condition, proper care is essential. Since these shoes are crafted from leather, avoid submerging them in water. Instead, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather-safe cleaner to wipe away surface dirt after use. For the laces, soak them in a small amount of soapy water and air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain their shape over time. Ensure you check your sizing against standard UK adult measurements for the best fit.
