The JAPAN S™ model is based on one of our throwback offerings from 1981. This reworked iteration is formed with a low-top silhouette that's complete with a court-inspired toe box and throwback colorways. Updated with a lightweight design that features a modified cupsole, this shoe is enhanced with excellent comfort and long-lasting cushioning. Mimicking the aesthetic of a retro basketball sneaker, this heritage style is also paired with nostalgic ASICS branding, like the tiger stripes on the quarter-panels and "ASICS" lettering at the heel. The JAPAN S™ shoe's vintage basketball aesthetic is complemented with iconic court-specific details that are inspired by footwear worn on the hardwood by basketball players in the 80s. The JAPAN S™ shoe model is a wonderful new addition to the ASICS Sportstyle lineup, if you are looking for some of our heritage models of our street style collections, check out the GEL-LYTE® III and GEL-LYTE® V collection to see some of the most iconic ASICS’ designs.
