Full details
The ASICS Japan S Trainers are designed for adults seeking a stylish, comfortable, everyday trainer with a retro aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in their versatile design, blending 80s court-inspired styling with modern lightweight construction for enhanced comfort. A potential caveat is that while inspired by basketball shoes, they are primarily intended for casual wear rather than high-performance athletic activities. Key features include a reworked low silhouette, a lightweight design with a modified cupsole for improved cushioning, and iconic ASICS branding.

FAQs
Are the ASICS Japan S Trainers suitable for running?
The ASICS Japan S Trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning for walking, they are not engineered for the high-impact demands of running or specialized athletic training.
What material are the ASICS Japan S Trainers made of?
The ASICS Japan S Trainers typically feature a leather upper, inspired by the materials used in the original 1981 models, combined with a rubber cupsole.
How do I determine my correct size?
Refer to the ASICS sizing guide or compare with your usual UK shoe size. These trainers are available in standard UK adult sizes.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash the ASICS Japan S Trainers, as this can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between the Japan S and other ASICS trainers?
The Japan S series is characterized by its direct inspiration from 1980s court shoes, offering a distinct retro aesthetic. They focus on lightweight comfort and classic styling, differentiating them from more modern or sport-specific ASICS models.
How does the cushioning compare to modern running shoes?
The cushioning in the Japan S is designed for everyday comfort and style, providing a good level of support for walking and casual wear. It is generally less advanced and responsive than the specialized cushioning systems found in dedicated modern running shoes.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Allow for a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks for initial wear to help stretch the shoe slightly.
Discoloration on white parts
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a specific white shoe cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Reduced cushioning over time
Ensure the shoes are not overly worn. For persistent issues, consider replacing the insoles with aftermarket cushioned insoles.
