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®.
We updated the cushioning system with our FF BLAST™ technology. 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.
