FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for playing sports?
While inspired by 90s handball shoes, the ASICS Skyhand Og Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and comfort. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities in modern sports.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and suede?
For synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For suede panels, use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and a suede cleaner for tougher marks. Always let them air dry completely away from direct heat.
What kind of cushioning do these trainers have?
These trainers feature a wedge heel with EVA cushioning for enhanced comfort and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning, providing responsive shock absorption for daily wear and a comfortable stride.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed with a combination of durable synthetic leather and stylish suede panels, offering a blend of classic aesthetic and comfortable wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the synthetic leather offers some resistance, suede is sensitive to moisture and can get damaged or stained. It's best to avoid heavy rain or standing water to protect the materials. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection.
Do these trainers have good arch support?
The Skyhand Og trainers feature a modernized insole designed for a superior feeling of quality and comfort. For specific arch support needs, you may consider using custom insoles if the integrated support isn't sufficient for your foot type.
What does 'authentic handball heritage' mean?
This refers to the design being directly inspired by and retaining key elements of ASICS' original handball shoes from the 1990s. It signifies a nod to their history in sports footwear, translated into a modern lifestyle product.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially
The synthetic leather and suede upper may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot. Consistent wear over a few days should resolve this.
Squeaking sound from the sole
This can sometimes occur with new rubber outsoles or due to a slightly loose insole. Ensure the insole is properly seated. If the squeaking persists, a small amount of baby powder sprinkled under the insole can often help reduce friction.
Suede panels look matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks, apply a suede cleaner designed for trainers, following the product instructions carefully. Regular brushing helps prevent matting.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Skyhand Og Trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper (Synthetic Leather): Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap diluted with water). Avoid harsh scrubbing.
- Cleaning the Upper (Suede Panels): Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a suede-specific cleaner, following the product's instructions. Always brush in one direction to maintain the nap.
- Outsole: The rubber outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime.
- Drying: Always allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray, particularly for the suede areas, to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
