Full details

The ASICS Japan S Trainers are ideal for adults seeking a stylish, retro-inspired sneaker for everyday wear. Their key benefit lies in combining vintage basketball aesthetics with modern comfort, though the synthetic leather upper might not offer the same breathability as natural materials. These trainers feature a low-cut design, a synthetic leather upper, a modified concave sole for cushioning, and a durable rubber outsole, all drawing inspiration from 1980s court shoes.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?

The ASICS Japan S Trainers are inspired by vintage basketball shoes and offer a retro aesthetic for lifestyle wear. They are not designed for high-performance athletic activities like modern basketball and may lack the necessary support and technology.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is made of synthetic leather, providing a durable and stylish finish that resembles traditional leather.

How do I determine my correct size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot length. It is recommended to check customer reviews for insights on sizing, as some models may run slightly larger or smaller.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning should be done by hand using a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

What is the main benefit of the modified concave sole?

The modified concave sole is designed to provide enhanced cushioning and comfort underfoot, making the shoes suitable for extended wear throughout the day.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

Yes, the ASICS Japan S series is available in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the shoes are new, they may require a short break-in period. Wearing them with thinner socks can also help.

Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces

The rubber outsole provides traction, but performance can vary on very smooth or wet surfaces. Ensure the soles are clean, as dirt can reduce grip. For increased traction, consider using an aftermarket insole designed for grip.

Discoloration on the synthetic leather

Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid exposure to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals that can cause fading or damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no setup; they are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility: The ASICS Japan S Trainers are designed as unisex footwear and are compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic leather upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the material.
  2. Cleaning the Sole: Use a brush or damp cloth to clean the rubber outsole, removing any dirt or debris.
  3. Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can deform the shoe.
