Full details
The ASICS Japan S Trainers are designed for adults seeking a comfortable, stylish casual shoe with a retro basketball aesthetic. Their key benefit is the blend of vintage design with modern comfort features like a revamped cupsole and ORTHOLITE sockliner, offering all-day wearability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the ASICS Japan S Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for running or high-impact sports.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a small amount of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear is recommended.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. The synthetic leather, cupsole construction, and internal cushioning can be damaged by the washing machine cycle.
What does 'ORTHOLITE sockliner' mean for comfort?
An ORTHOLITE sockliner is an insole material known for its breathability, moisture-wicking properties, and long-term cushioning, contributing to overall foot comfort during wear.
How much of the upper is made from recycled materials?
At least 20% of the synthetic leather used in the upper is made from recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
What is the main inspiration for the Japan S design?
The design is inspired by ASICS footwear from 1981 and features a vintage basketball aesthetic, drawing on iconic details from shoes worn by basketball players in the 1980s.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear them with medium-thickness socks for a few hours each day to allow the materials to naturally conform to your feet. If still uncomfortable, consider if you need a different size or width.
Discoloration on synthetic leather
Attempt to clean gently with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated synthetic leather cleaner, following product instructions carefully.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt or debris can reduce traction. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and may need replacement or consideration for a new pair.
Insole is uncomfortable
The ORTHOLITE sockliner provides basic cushioning. If more support is needed, consider purchasing aftermarket insoles designed for casual shoes.
