The JAPAN S ™ is based on one of our 1981 models. This is a new version with a low construction, with a sports-inspired sock shape and classic colors. Updated with a lightweight construction with a modified outsole, this shoe delivers premium comfort and cushioning. Mimicking the aesthetic of a retro basketball shoe, this traditional shoe features nostalgic ASICS branding such as tiger stripes on the sides and ASICS wordmark on the heel. The vintage JAPAN S ™ basketball shoe features iconic gym-inspired details inspired by the sneakers worn on hard courts by basketball players in the 1980s.
