Product Information
Full details
The ASICS JAPAN S Trainers in White are designed for adults seeking a versatile, casual trainer with a retro basketball aesthetic. Their key benefit is the blend of vintage style with modern comfort features, like the updated cupsole and ORTHOLITE sockliner. A potential caveat for some users might be the synthetic leather upper, which, while durable and containing recycled materials, may not offer the same breathability as natural leather.

FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the JAPAN S shoe?
The JAPAN S shoe is inspired by one of ASICS' offerings from 1981, capturing a vintage basketball aesthetic and iconic detailing from that era.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer support and cushioning, they are not intended for high-impact sports or specialized athletic training.
How much of the upper is made from recycled materials?
At least 20% of the synthetic leather upper is made from recycled materials.
How do I clean the ASICS JAPAN S trainers?
Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth. Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush and mild soap and water. Allow to air dry away from direct heat.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The heel height is flat.
What type of fastener do these shoes use?
These trainers use laces for fastening.
Does the ORTHOLITE sockliner provide extra arch support?
The ORTHOLITE sockliner is designed to improve underfoot comfort and provide cushioning. While it enhances the overall feel, its primary function is not specialized arch support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher. If the issue persists, ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the size guide for accurate measurements.
Discoloration on upper
For synthetic leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then wipe clean with water. Always air dry.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but extreme wet conditions can reduce grip. Exercise caution in such environments.
