FAQs
Are the ASICS EX89 suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by a basketball shoe, the EX89 is updated with modern cushioning primarily for casual wear and daily comfort. For serious basketball play, ASICS recommends specific performance basketball footwear.
What is the main difference between the EX89 and modern ASICS running shoes?
The EX89 focuses on retro style and everyday comfort with its unique design and FF BLAST cushioning. Modern ASICS running shoes are engineered with advanced technologies specifically for athletic performance, shock absorption, and energy return during running.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the ASICS size chart available on the product page or the main ASICS website. Measure your foot length from heel to toe and compare it with the chart. Trying them on in-store is also recommended if possible.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
The leather upper offers some protection, but these trainers are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider using a waterproofing spray specifically designed for leather if you anticipate exposure to moisture.
What does FF BLAST technology do?
FF BLAST is a soft and resilient foam cushioning that provides excellent shock absorption and a responsive feel, enhancing comfort during walking and daily activities.
Where are the ASICS EX89 trainers manufactured?
The stitching, assembly, and finishing of the ASICS EX89 trainers are done in Vietnam.
Troubleshooting
Tingling or discomfort in toes
Ensure you have the correct size. Try loosening the laces slightly, especially around the forefoot area, or consider wearing thinner socks.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces. Ensure the laces are properly threaded through the eyelets and are not excessively worn.
Slight stiffness in the leather initially
This is normal for leather. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the leather
Use a dedicated leather cleaner and a soft cloth to gently remove scuff marks. For deeper marks, a leather repair product might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no setup. Simply lace them up and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: The EX89 trainers are designed for general adult male foot sizes. They are compatible with standard sock types. As they are primarily casual footwear, they are best suited for non-athletic activities.
Care: To maintain the condition of your ASICS EX89 Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the outsole grooves are clear for optimal grip.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
