Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Japan S trainers are designed for men seeking a versatile, heritage-inspired sneaker that bridges the gap between formal office settings and casual street wear. Drawing heavily from the original 1981 court design, these shoes feature a smooth leather upper and a durable cupsole for long-lasting comfort and style. While they offer a clean, monochromatic aesthetic that pairs well with almost any outfit, potential users should note that the firm cupsole construction prioritizes durability and traditional feel over the high-energy responsiveness found in modern performance running shoes.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle fashion sneaker and does not contain the advanced cushioning or motion control tech required for running.
How do I determine my correct size?
These trainers are designed in standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your current ASICS footwear size or measuring your foot length against a standard sizing chart.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the leather material.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather upper provides some resistance to light moisture, they are not waterproof and should not be worn in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from durable, smooth synthetic leather with a textile lining for internal comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather upper
Creasing is a natural result of the leather bending during walking; use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain the shape.
Surface scuffs on the white finish
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff out minor scuff marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Japan S trainers maintain their look, keep the following care guidelines in mind. Being made of synthetic leather, these shoes can be wiped down with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and scuffs. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners, which can degrade the outer material. For best results, use a dedicated leather-safe cleaner for deeper stains. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white finish from yellowing or the materials from cracking over time.
