FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The ASICS EX89 generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though leather may feel slightly stiff upon initial wear until broken in.

Can I use these for basketball?

While inspired by 1989 basketball shoes, the modern EX89 is intended for lifestyle and casual use, not for competitive court performance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe with a clean, damp cloth and use mild, leather-safe soap if necessary. Always air dry away from heat sources.

What is the benefit of the FF Blast cushioning?

FF Blast is a lightweight, responsive foam that improves shock absorption, reducing impact on your feet during daily walking.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for personal orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing minor scuffs

Use a white leather cream or dedicated sneaker eraser to gently buff out surface marks.

Outsole losing traction

Ensure the tread is free of debris or stones; clean the bottom with a stiff brush and water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your leather EX89 trainers, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or mud. For daily cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the leather upper. For more stubborn dirt, utilize a dedicated leather-safe cleaner. Do not machine wash or tumble dry these shoes as it may compromise the adhesive and the FF Blast cushioning properties. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discoloring.
