FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for high-intensity sports?
While inspired by basketball aesthetics, the EX89 is designed for casual daily use rather than high-performance athletic sports.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth using a mild soap if necessary, then let air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Is the size range consistent?
The EX89 typically follows standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first before molding to your foot.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Does the White and Blue color fade?
With proper care and by avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, the colors will remain vibrant for the life of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Stiff fit during initial wear
Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS EX89 shoes remain in peak condition, perform a quick check of the laces to ensure a secure fit for your specific foot shape. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to wipe away surface debris. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain the White and Blue color vibrancy, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
