FAQs
Is the ASICS EX89 suitable for sports?
While inspired by 1989 basketball shoes, the EX89 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for professional or high-intensity athletic performance.
How does the sizing compare to other ASICS models?
The EX89 generally fits true to size for an adult male, but users with wider feet may find the structured leather upper feels snug initially.
What is the primary material used in the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality layered leather, providing both support and a classic basketball-heritage look.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
What makes the EX89 different from the original 1989 version?
The modern EX89 updates the original design with FF Blast cushioning in the heel for better shock absorption and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with genuine leather. Using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Surface scuff marks on white leather
Gently rub the scuff with a white pencil eraser or a dedicated leather cleaning solution. Avoid harsh abrasives that could damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your EX89 sneakers maintain their appearance and structure, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Given the leather construction, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt immediately to prevent staining. For deeper cleaning, utilize specialized leather cleaners suitable for footwear. Avoid machine washing, as this can degrade the bonding agents and leather quality. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
