FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?
The ASICS Japan S Trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and everyday comfort. While they offer good cushioning and a durable sole for walking, they are not engineered for high-impact sports like running or basketball.
How much of the upper is made from recycled materials?
At least 20% of the synthetic leather used in the upper is made from recycled materials.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesive, and construction of the shoe. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the heel height?
The ASICS Japan S Trainers feature a flat heel height, consistent with their casual design.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size chart and measure your foot length. These trainers are unisex. The provided size (e.g., UK 8.5) corresponds to adult foot measurements.
What is the fastener type?
The trainers use a lace-up fastening system, allowing for an adjustable and secure fit.
What is the main inspiration for the Japan S design?
The design is inspired by one of ASICS' original offerings from 1981, featuring a vintage basketball aesthetic with iconic detailing reminiscent of shoes worn by basketball players in the 1980s.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces significantly and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overly tightened. If the tightness persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if the shoe requires a break-in period.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by the insole rubbing against the shoe interior. Try removing the ORTHOLITE sockliner, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it. Ensure it sits flat.
Discoloration on the synthetic leather
Use a soft, damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap to gently clean the affected area. Avoid excessive rubbing and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
Slippery sole on certain surfaces
The rubber outsole provides traction, but may be less effective on very smooth, wet surfaces. Ensure the sole is clean; dirt can reduce grip. The outsole's grip may improve with light wear.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic leather upper with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material or the recycled content.
- Cleaning the Sole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt from the rubber outsole. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a damp cloth.
- Insoles: The ORTHOLITE sockliner can often be removed for spot cleaning or airing out. Hand wash gently if necessary and ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause the materials to degrade or warp.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
