FAQs

What materials are the ASICS Skyhand OG made from?

The ASICS Skyhand OG is primarily constructed from synthetic leather, textile, and rubber.

Are these sneakers suitable for sports?

While inspired by court shoes, the Skyhand OG is designed for lifestyle and casual wear. They offer comfort for daily activities but are not intended for high-impact athletic performance.

How do I clean the suede parts of the shoe?

For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner sparingly and allow to air dry.

What is the main difference between the original 1990s release and this retro version?

This retro version retains the classic slim-cut design but incorporates contemporary updates like EVA cushioning, a heel wedge, and a modernized sockliner for enhanced comfort.

Can I wear these with socks?

Yes, these sneakers are designed to be worn with socks for optimal comfort and fit.

What kind of style do these sneakers best complement?

The ASICS Skyhand OG pairs well with casual streetwear, including jeans, shorts, joggers, and athletic-inspired outfits. Their low silhouette makes them versatile.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot if possible. The normal lacing system allows for some adjustment, but starting with the correct size is crucial for comfort.

Troubleshooting

Laces not staying tied

Ensure laces are double-knotted. If the lace material is slippery, consider replacing them with textured laces.

Slight discomfort on first wear

This is common with new shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in. The modernized sockliner and EVA cushioning should adapt to your foot shape.

Suede appearing matted or dirty

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, consult specific suede cleaning guides, using minimal moisture.

Shoe feels too narrow

If the fit is too snug, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for suede and leather. Alternatively, ensure you have selected the correct size; check the size guide if unsure.
