FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
The ASICS Japan S are inspired by basketball shoes but are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for playing basketball.
How should I clean the black and white exterior?
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to gently clean the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Always allow the shoes to air dry.
What is the main benefit of the Japan S series?
The main benefit is the blend of retro aesthetic inspired by classic basketball sneakers with modern comfort features for versatile everyday wear.
Do these shoes offer good arch support?
These shoes provide standard cushioning suitable for casual wear. For individuals requiring significant arch support, consider adding aftermarket insoles.
What does the 'Japan S' designation mean?
The 'Japan S' designation often refers to ASICS models that are either designed or influenced by Japanese design sensibilities and heritage, often incorporating classic silhouettes.
Can I wear these in wet conditions?
While the shoes have rubber soles for traction, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials.
What size should I order if I'm between sizes?
Generally, if you are between sizes, it is often recommended to size up for a more comfortable fit, especially with closed-toe shoes. However, fit can be personal. Consider trying on a pair if possible.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.
Soles becoming worn quickly
These are casual sneakers; excessive wear on hard surfaces can accelerate sole degradation. Consider alternating footwear for very frequent or demanding activities.
Discoloration or staining
Clean immediately with a damp cloth and mild soap. Test any cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with standard shoelaces. Consider using wax-coated laces for increased durability.
