FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is designed as a fashion sneaker for lifestyle and casual use, not for athletic performance or running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some resistance, they are not fully waterproof and should be avoided in heavy rain.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if needed.
Do these shoes run true to size?
The Japan S generally follows standard sizing, though it is recommended to reference the UK size chart to ensure the best fit.
What is the inspiration behind this model?
The design is a modern revival of the original 1981 court-style basketball shoe model.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white surface
Use a white pencil eraser or a melamine sponge lightly dampened with water to gently buff out minor scuffs on the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Japan S trainers maintain their appearance, keep them away from harsh cleaning chemicals.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather exterior with a damp, soft cloth to remove surface dirt and dust.
- Stain Management: For tougher marks on the white leather, use a specialized leather cleaner approved for smooth surfaces.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white material to yellow over time.
- Maintenance: Consider using a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking, especially if worn in varying weather conditions.
