FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Japan S is a lifestyle trainer inspired by vintage basketball shoes and lacks the technical stability and impact protection required for running.

How do I ensure the right fit?

These trainers generally fit true to size. We recommend measuring your foot in the afternoon when your feet are at their largest.

Are the insoles removable?

The insoles in this model are generally fixed to support the structure of the shoe, so we do not recommend removing them.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and materials. Always clean by hand using a damp cloth.

What is the primary material used?

The upper is crafted from 100% synthetic materials, the lining and cushioning are polyester, and the outsole is 100% rubber.

Troubleshooting

The shoes feel tight across the midfoot

Adjust the lace tension by loosening the laces starting from the bottom eyelets moving upwards to create more volume.

Scuff marks on the white synthetic upper

Gently rub the affected area with a soft eraser or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of non-abrasive cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the synthetic uppers. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the materials to warp or discolor.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape of the toe box over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lace-up fastening, allowing for an adjustable fit. They are designed to fit true to size for standard adult feet.
