FAQs
Are these ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers suitable for competitive sports?
While inspired by ASICS' handball heritage from the 90s, these trainers are updated for modern comfort and casual wear. They are best suited for daily activities, light recreation, or as a stylish everyday shoe, rather than competitive, high-impact athletic performance.
How do I properly clean the mixed synthetic leather and suede materials?
For synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the texture. A dedicated suede cleaner can be used for tougher spots. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat.
Is the sizing true to fit for these trainers?
ASICS generally offers consistent sizing. It's recommended to consult the brand's official size chart. If possible, trying them on or comparing to a known comfortable ASICS size is the best way to ensure an optimal fit.
What is the benefit of FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning?
FLYTEFOAM PROPEL is ASICS' advanced cushioning technology designed to deliver a more energetic and responsive bounce. It helps to provide a comfortable, springier feel underfoot, contributing to overall comfort during prolonged wear.
Can these trainers be worn in all weather conditions?
The synthetic leather and suede materials are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can potentially damage the materials and overall structure of the shoe. It's advisable to wear them in dry conditions or use a protective spray.
What does 'authentic handball heritage' mean for this shoe?
It means the trainers retain the core design elements and aesthetic DNA of ASICS' handball shoes from the 1990s. This gives them a distinct retro athletic look and feel, updated with modern comfort technologies for contemporary use.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
Allow a short break-in period (a few wears) for the materials and cushioning to adapt to your foot's shape and movement. The modernised insole and cushioning will become more pliable.
Suede portions appear dirty or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to gently clean the surface and lift the nap. For more stubborn dirt, apply a small amount of designated suede cleaner following product instructions.
Synthetic leather shows minor scuffs or marks
Wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth and a tiny drop of mild soap. For deeper scuffs, a synthetic leather cleaner or protector may help, but always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes make a slight squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles or insoles. Try removing the insole and applying a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole. This can reduce friction.

The ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are designed for immediate wear. Allow a short break-in period for the materials to conform to your foot, enhancing comfort over time. These trainers are unisex and complement a wide range of casual and sporty outfits, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. To ensure longevity, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: For synthetic leather sections, gently wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, a suede cleaner can be applied. Always allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray suitable for mixed materials (synthetic leather and suede) to help repel water and stains, especially before initial wear.
- Avoidance: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
