Men's Asics Ex89 Midnight Green Zapatillas - White - Low-top sneakers The Ex89 shoe combines the legacy of the 1989 Gel-Exterme basketball shoe with modern damping properties. Created by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s, it was its first design project for ASICs. It presents a top leather part in layers that is completed with bright colors in contrast, to match the iconic NBA equipment of the time. In addition, the sculpted heel form improves comfort under the feet in everyday situations. The drawing of the sole mimics the view of a city from heaven. This functional clamping feature is originally inspired by the first business trip to the United States in 1987.
