Product Information
Full details
The ASICS JAPAN S is a heritage-inspired fashion sneaker designed for adults who value a blend of traditional sporty style and everyday versatility. Its primary benefit is the seamless transition from office attire to casual street fashion, thanks to its clean monochrome design and comfortable construction. A potential caveat for users is that, as a fashion-focused trainer, it is better suited for daily walking and light activity rather than intensive athletic sports performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the JAPAN S is designed as a fashion sneaker for casual, everyday wear rather than a technical running shoe.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS trainers as this can damage the structural integrity and the leather-like finish.
What is the primary material used?
These shoes are constructed from a blend of high-quality synthetic leather with added suede inserts.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
This model is listed in UK sizing. We recommend checking your existing trainers or using a professional foot measuring tool to confirm your UK 9.5 fit.
Are the laces replaceable?
Yes, you can replace the laces with any standard-length athletic lace if you wish to change the look or if the original laces become worn.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces fully and re-tie them while wearing the shoes to ensure a customized pressure distribution across the foot.
Synthetic leather showing scuffs
Wipe the area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth; for persistent marks, use a small amount of non-abrasive leather cleaner specifically safe for synthetic materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you are utilizing the UK 9.5 sizing as specified. Upon arrival, we recommend wearing the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape. To maintain the appearance of your JAPAN S trainers, avoid using abrasive brushes on the synthetic leather. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for surface cleaning. If the suede inserts become dusty, a specialized suede brush or a dry, soft-bristled brush will help refresh the nap. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation.
