FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The ASICS Japan S Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good traction for general movement, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities like running or basketball training.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made from synthetic leather, with at least 20% of this material being sourced from recycled components.
How do I clean my Japan S Trainers?
Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Clean the outsole with a soft brush or damp cloth. Allow them to air dry naturally and avoid direct heat sources.
What is the main inspiration behind the Japan S design?
The design is inspired by one of ASICS' original offerings from 1981, featuring a vintage basketball aesthetic and iconic detailing from the 1980s.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The shoes feature an ORTHOLITE sockliner, which helps improve underfoot comfort. For specific arch support needs, consider adding insoles suitable for your foot type.
Can these trainers be worn by men and women?
Yes, the Japan S Trainers are designed as a unisex model, suitable for adults regardless of gender.
What does 'revamped cupsole construction' mean for comfort?
This means the sole has been updated to provide better cushioning and comfort underfoot compared to the original design, making them more suitable for extended wear.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in. If discomfort persists, consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust the fit.
Traction seems poor on wet surfaces
The rubber outsole provides good traction on dry surfaces. For wet conditions, exercise caution as with any casual footwear. Clean the outsole regularly to remove any debris that might affect grip.
Material scuffing or damage
Avoid abrasive surfaces and activities that could lead to scuffing. For minor scuffs on the synthetic leather, try gently cleaning with a damp cloth. For significant damage, professional repair might be considered, or replacement may be necessary.
