FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle trainer inspired by heritage basketball shoes and is not engineered for long-distance running or high-intensity sports.
How do I maintain the white leather?
Regularly wipe down with a damp cloth and use leather-specific cleaning products. Avoid prolonged exposure to mud and rain.
Does the sizing run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adult sizing, but if you prefer extra room for thicker socks, consider a half-size larger.
Is the ORTHOLITE insole removable?
Yes, the insole can be removed, allowing you to clean it or replace it with custom orthotics if required.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While the leather provides some protection, they are not waterproof and should be kept dry to prevent damage to the material.
Troubleshooting
The leather is getting scuffed
Gently clean with a mild leather cleaner or a damp cloth and apply a protective leather wax to restore the finish.
Inner lining feels slightly damp
Remove the ORTHOLITE insole and allow the shoe to air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources.
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure they are laced through all eyelets and use a double knot if necessary to secure the fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup; simply adjust the laces for your preferred tension. They are compatible with standard casual socks, though thin athletic socks work best to maintain the interior feel. To ensure the leather remains in top condition, wipe away dirt and grime with a damp cloth immediately after use. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather surface and damage the adhesive holding the cupsole. Use a leather-safe conditioner periodically to prevent cracking.
