FAQs
What is the primary use of the ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, offering a blend of retro style and modern comfort for everyday use. While inspired by handball, they are not intended for high-performance athletic activities.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
While they draw inspiration from handball, the Skyhand OG Trainers are best suited for light recreational activities and casual wear rather than intense or professional sports where specialized footwear is required.
How do I clean the synthetic leather and suede parts?
For synthetic leather, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals and allow them to air dry.
Do they offer good arch support?
The trainers feature a modernised insole and a wedge heel with EVA and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning, which provides good general comfort and support for daily wear. Individual arch support needs can vary, but the base cushioning is robust.
What kind of cushioning is used?
The ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers incorporate a wedge heel equipped with EVA cushioning and further benefit from FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning for enhanced comfort and shock absorption.
Are they true to size?
ASICS typically runs true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. However, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The trainers feature an updated construction with synthetic leather and suede panels on the upper, a durable rubber outsole, and a wedge heel with EVA and FLYTEFOAM PROPEL cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
The materials may need a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations at first to allow the materials to conform to your foot.
Suede areas appear dirty or matted.
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and lift the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective.
Squeaking sound when walking.
This can sometimes occur if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, dusting the inside of the shoe and the bottom of the insole with a small amount of talcum powder, then reinserting it.

Care Instructions
To maintain the aesthetic and structural integrity of your Skyhand OG trainers, follow these guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe synthetic leather surfaces with a damp, soft cloth. For suede panels, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
- Stain Removal: Treat stains promptly. For synthetic leather, a mild soap solution can be used. For suede, use a suede eraser or specialized cleaner.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Water Protection: While not fully waterproof, applying a protective spray specifically designed for synthetic leather and suede can help repel water and stains.
