Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Japan S trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, heritage-inspired sneaker that bridges the gap between office casual and street style. Drawing heavily from the original 1981 court design, these trainers provide a timeless aesthetic with durable construction; however, users should note that as a lifestyle fashion sneaker, they are built for daily wear rather than high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle fashion sneaker inspired by heritage court styles and is not engineered for long-distance running or high-impact training.
Does the leather upper stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, the material will soften and adapt slightly to your foot shape after a few wears, but it will not stretch significantly.
How do I determine if these are the right size?
The Japan S generally runs true to size. We recommend choosing your standard UK adult size for a comfortable fit.
Can I use these shoes in the rain?
While the leather is water-resistant, it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy downpours and ensure they are dried naturally at room temperature if they get wet.
How do I maintain the bright white appearance?
Regularly wipe the soles and upper with a damp cloth and store them out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box
This is common with leather sneakers; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and reduce deep creases.
Stiff feel when new
Wear the sneakers for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally soften and contour to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a magic eraser sponge lightly to buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers remain in top condition, follow these simple guidelines. Since these shoes feature leather uppers, you should treat them with a water and stain-repellent spray before the first use. If they become dirty, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe the leather clean, and avoid machine washing as this can damage the structural integrity of the cupsole and leather. For the best compatibility, wear them with low-profile or crew socks to maintain the clean silhouette of the 80s-inspired ankle collar. If the laces become worn, they can be easily replaced with standard flat laces to refresh the look of the shoes.
