The JAPAN S shoes are based on one of our 1981 models. This reworked iteration features a low-top silhouette that's complete with a court-inspired toe box and throwback colorways. Featuring a modified sole, this shoe offers comfortable cushioning underfoot. Taking on the aesthetic of a traditional sneaker, this model is also associated with nostalgic markings, such as the ASICS stripes on the quarters and the "ASICS" lettering on the heel. The JAPAN S sneaker's vintage aesthetic is also associated with iconic court-specific details, inspired by the shoes worn by basketball players in the 1980s.
