Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Japan S trainers are designed for adults seeking a versatile, heritage-inspired sneaker that bridges the gap between casual comfort and professional style. Featuring a durable leather construction modeled after the original 1981 silhouette, these shoes offer a timeless look perfect for daily wear; however, because they utilize a traditional court-style cupsole, they provide a flatter, more grounded feel compared to modern performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the ASICS Japan S generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing, though it is always recommended to refer to the size chart if you are between sizes.
Can I use these for playing tennis or sports?
While based on a 1981 court design, these are fashion trainers. They lack the specific lateral support and technology required for competitive court sports.
How do I keep the white leather clean?
Wipe away surface dirt immediately after use and use a specialized leather cleaning solution for tougher stains.
Is the material real leather?
The upper is crafted from smooth, durable leather, providing a high-quality look and feel.
Do these shoes provide good arch support?
They offer standard support for casual use. If you require significant orthopedic or arch support, you may wish to swap the factory insole for a third-party insert.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its finish
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and maintain its sheen.
Shoes feel stiff when brand new
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the leather to naturally conform to the shape of your foot.
Dirt stuck in the sole grooves
Use a soft-bristle brush to gently dislodge debris from the tread without scratching the rubber.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Japan S trainers remain in prime condition, keep them away from excessive moisture, as the leather upper can be damaged by prolonged water exposure. Since these are standard lace-up shoes, ensure you lace them snugly to take advantage of the padded ankle support. For cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild leather cleaner to remove scuffs or surface dirt. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can compromise the adhesives in the rubber cupsole and degrade the leather quality. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
