Product Information
Full details
The ASICS JAPAN S trainers are designed for adults seeking a blend of retro basketball aesthetics and modern comfort. Their key benefit is offering a stylish, versatile casual shoe with a cushioned feel for all-day wear. A potential caveat is that while inspired by vintage designs, they are best suited for casual use rather than intense athletic performance. This shoe features a synthetic leather upper, a revamped cupsole for enhanced cushioning, and an ORTHOLITE sockliner for superior underfoot comfort, all while incorporating at least 20% recycled materials in its upper.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consider using thicker or thinner socks as needed.
Discomfort or lack of cushioning.
The ORTHOLITE sockliner and revamped cupsole provide cushioning. If discomfort persists, ensure the sockliner is properly seated. For enhanced cushioning, consider using aftermarket insoles designed for casual wear.
Synthetic leather shows creasing.
Some creasing is normal with synthetic leather, especially with wear. To minimize it, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Stuff shoes with paper when not in use to help maintain their shape.
Traction feels insufficient on certain surfaces.
The rubber outsole is designed for general traction. For slippery or wet surfaces, exercise caution. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt or debris can affect grip.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the rubber outsole and midsole. For stubborn marks, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning if necessary. Hand wash with mild soap and water.
- Insole: The ORTHOLITE sockliner can be removed for spot cleaning or airing out. Use a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
