The EX89 sneaker blends the heritage influences of the GEL-EXTREME basketball shoe from 1989 with modern cushioning properties.​It was originally created by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s as his first design project with ASICS. It's met with a sculpted heel shape to improve underfoot comfort during everyday scenarios.​The outsole's pattern is meant to mirror the view of a city from the sky. This functional grip feature was initially inspired by the designer's first business trip to the United States in 1987.

I have two pairs and I love them. I can't fit Nike's AF1 or New Balance 550's because they're both too narrow (I need 2E width usually). The gradient yellow lace does not come like this it's replaced for style.

I've used Asics for years with jogging and gym experiences.This inexpensive issue is Great for tooling around town - shopping - visiting friends - casual dining. I've one particularly important addition to my foot care - all my shoes have auxiliary arch supports and none are better than Asics brand. Well worth the little extra expense.
Have been wearing these shoes for a month now. Love the space for my toes and the orthotics insole. I am 23 but stand all day and my previous work shoes made my feet feel like I was standing on jagged rocks for hours. I also want to note this shoe is actually very cool looking, I personally do not think the ASICS running shoes are “cool” (subjective) but I really enjoy what they are doing with the more casual silhouette and how they are bringing the skate shoes to America.
Very comfortable shoe and it allows for enough space for the toes so they don’t feel squished. It does have some weight to it, but not too much. I would recommend but the sole might be too stiff for those who feel the need for a very flexible sole.
I love these. I order a half size larger than normal ASICS. Have many colors. Love these ASICS street shoes.
The EX89 was a surprising find at the price I got using the ASICS website versus a retailer like Foot Locker, etc... The pluses are in the fit with the toe box being slightly wider than most other shoes I have. I have normal width feet, and this fit allows my forefoot to relax more. The feel of the insole and midsole feet like to conformed to my foot like a cork sole might versus a super-cushiony midsole. I like this feel because more feet don't feel fatigued after hours of wear. I also received a few unsolicited compliments with the color scheme of the upper with the orange and black option I purchased. That's a plus.
Fits a little small. This store won't allow me to return.I expected better. Now I know who to stay away from and tell my sneakerhead friends the same.
I bought a pair a couple weeks ago and from the minute I put them on they were very comfortable and extremely supportive. As an old guy I love the 80's retro-style and the rugged construction especially when I'm at the gym doing heavy squats (over 700lbs) and heavy leg presses (over 1200 lbs). Also great for walking on the beach
