FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While based on 1980s basketball models, the modern Japan S is designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for competitive court performance.
How do I clean the white leather?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
Do these come with cushioned insoles?
Yes, they feature a modified sole specifically designed for improved underfoot cushioning compared to the original 1981 version.
Is the material sustainable?
The insole manufacturing process uses a mass dyeing technique that reduces water consumption by 33% and carbon emissions by 45%.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The Japan S series typically utilizes leather or high-quality synthetic leather materials for a durable, classic aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Leather-based trainers often require a short break-in period; wear them for short durations indoors to allow the material to conform to your foot.
White exterior is showing scuffs
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristle brush to gently lift surface dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required. Ensure you select the correct UK sizing for a proper fit. To keep your White/Silver Japan S trainers in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Spot Clean: Wipe the exterior leather and synthetic materials with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup.
- Avoid Immersion: Never submerge the shoes in water, as this can degrade the adhesives and material integrity.
- Air Dry: If the interiors become damp, remove the insoles and let the shoes air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white materials.
