FAQs
What materials are the ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers made from?
The trainers feature uppers made of a combination of leather and suede, with durable gum rubber soles. Please note that the exact material composition may vary slightly between different colorways, so always check the product label for specific details.
Are these trainers suitable for running or other sports activities?
No, the ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers are designed primarily for casual, everyday wear and lifestyle purposes. They are not intended for high-performance athletic activities like running, basketball, or intense workouts, which require specialized sports footwear.
How do I clean my ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers?
For cleaning, gently wipe leather sections with a damp cloth. For suede, use a specialized suede brush and eraser to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid harsh chemicals, machine washing, or submerging the trainers in water. Always refer to the product's care label for the most accurate instructions.
Do ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers run true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size for most individuals. However, fit can vary slightly based on personal foot shape. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit. If you are unsure, you might consider comparing your foot measurements to ASICS's sizing chart.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the leather and suede offer some natural resistance to light moisture, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions can damage the materials. Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather and suede for added protection.
What is the inspiration behind the Skyhand OG design?
The Skyhand OG trainers are a modern update of an archival ASICS design from the 1990s. They draw inspiration from classic court shoes, blending heritage aesthetics with contemporary style to create a versatile lifestyle trainer.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
New leather and suede trainers often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.
Suede portions appear matted or dirty.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction for best results.
Leather parts look dull or have minor scuffs.
Clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For dullness, apply a small amount of leather conditioner. Minor scuffs can sometimes be buffed out gently with a clean, soft cloth or a leather-specific balm.
Soles seem to have reduced grip.
Check the gum rubber soles for embedded debris or excessive dirt. Clean the treads thoroughly with a stiff brush and water. If the sole is worn smooth, it may be due to natural wear and tear over time.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to preserve the appearance and longevity of your ASICS Skyhand OG Trainers, especially given their leather and suede components. Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label first, as material composition can vary.
General care guidelines for leather/suede trainers:
- Spot Cleaning: For minor dirt or scuffs, use a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap solution. Gently blot the affected area. Avoid harsh rubbing, especially on suede.
- Suede Care: For suede sections, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with stubborn marks.
- Leather Care: For leather sections, use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage the materials.
- Protection: Consider applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both leather and suede to offer an extra layer of protection against elements and spills.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Do NOT machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as this can cause irreversible damage to the materials and construction.
