FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Japan S is a lifestyle fashion sneaker and is not designed for the impact absorption required for running.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a dedicated leather sneaker cleaning kit.
Do they fit true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing; however, individual preferences for fit may vary.
Is the material waterproof?
The leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, but it is not waterproof and should be kept dry.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, you can swap the provided insoles for orthotics or custom inserts if needed.
What is the inspiration behind this model?
This model is inspired by ASICS' original basketball-style shoes launched in 1981.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on the white leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution on a soft cloth to gently buff out surface marks.
Laces becoming loose during wear
Ensure a double knot is tied, or replace the laces with a slightly more textured lace material if the factory laces remain slippery.
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are ready to wear immediately out of the box with standard lace-up closure. To ensure longevity, keep the leather uppers away from excessive moisture and extreme heat. For cleaning, wipe down the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth; avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them naturally at room temperature, keeping them away from direct heat sources such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
