Explore the world in the B-ball-inspired style of the ASICS EX89. Originally created by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s, these silhouettes blend the heritage influences of the GEL-EXTREME basketball shoes with modern-day cushioning and comfort. The updated sockliner and midsole with FF BLAST cushioning provide a lightweight and springy feel with each step, while the sculpted heel shape improves shock absorption so you can go about your day in unmatched comfort. Sporting an outsole layout that takes inspiration from the designer’s first business trip to the US and mirrors the view of the city’s skyline, the ASICS EX89 adds a blast from the past to your everyday rotation. ASICS EX89 features: Layered leather upper offers a sleek and clean look. Spirited colors on the upper match the era’s iconic NBA team uniforms to add a pop of style and retro feel. Flyte Foam Blast midsole offers maximum energy return with every stride. Rubber outsole delivers traction and durability.
