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.
