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 KAYANOin 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.
