ASICS Performance 1201A476.114 4.5

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 complemented by spirited color blocking that matches the era’s iconic NBA team uniforms. We updated the cushioning system with our FF BLAST technology, which is paired with a sculpted heel shape to improve underfoot comfort during everyday scenarios. The outsole’s pattern is designed 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.
