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. The upper’s layered leather construction is also met with spirited color blocking that matches the era’s iconic NBA team uniforms. 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.

Shoes are looking great, however I have a problem with the right fitting of the shoes. Normally I’m 45,5, here 46 was too small, and 46,5 is too big. 4/5
Great fast purchase cheers
I hoped the sole would be a little more pliable and soft for a foot that aches a lot these days. I like the leather upper and sturdy sole. I like this style of shoe because it reminds me of something I would have worn in middle school or high school. I would like to see black, gray or brown solid colors. I also like the ankle support of the midtop style of this shoe.
Shoes are great. Smooth and soft tumbled leather. Like the green suede as well.
Nice shoes in style, however since they are marked as unisex, I found them to come up wider and smaller than the other Womens styles of the same size I have owned previously.
all good
