FAQs
Is the ASICS EX89 a good running shoe?
No, the EX89 is a lifestyle-inspired basketball sneaker designed for casual, everyday wear rather than performance running.
What is the significance of the outsole design?
The pattern on the outsole is inspired by a city viewed from the sky, a concept derived from the designer's travel experiences.
Does this shoe come in different widths?
The EX89 is generally produced in a standard width that fits the average adult foot comfortably.
How do I keep the white leather looking new?
Regularly wipe the leather with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner periodically to prevent the material from cracking.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, most ASICS lifestyle sneakers feature a removable sockliner if you need to use custom orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is common with leather footwear; using a cedar shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and reduce permanent creasing.
Difficulty cleaning scuffs from leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth dipped in a light solution of water and mild soap to gently buff away surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the EX89 uses premium leather, it is important to protect the material from excessive moisture and dirt. To maintain the crisp white appearance, clean the upper gently with a soft cloth and a mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the glue and structural integrity of the shoe. For storage, keep the sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the leather to stiffen or discolour over time. To ensure proper fit, match your standard UK sizing, as the structured leather upper provides a true-to-size feel.
