FAQs
Are the Skyhand OG trainers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, but the silhouette is slim, so those with wider feet may prefer to size up.
Can these be used for playing sports?
While they derive from handball heritage, they are designed as lifestyle fashion trainers and lack the modern support required for professional sports.
Are they waterproof?
No, the suede upper is not waterproof. It is recommended to use a protective spray to guard against light moisture.
How do I clean the gum outsole?
You can clean the gum outsole using warm water, a mild soap, and a soft cloth or toothbrush.
Is the sockliner removable?
Yes, the sockliner is typically removable, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears scuffed or matted
Use a specialized suede brush to lift the nap and restore the texture of the material.
The fit feels too tight
Try removing the stock sockliner and replacing it with a thinner aftermarket insole to create more internal volume.
Outsole has become slippery
Wipe the gum outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate in the tread pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Asics Skyhand OG trainers maintain their appearance, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dirt from the suede panels. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede eraser or a light cleaning solution specifically formulated for suede leather.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede to prevent environmental damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Fit Note: Given the slimmer court silhouette, consider pairing these with thinner socks for a comfortable, snug fit, or go up a half size if you prefer more room in the toe box.
