ASICS EX89

The ASICS EX89 debuted in the late ’80s as the Gel-Extreme, notable in the Japanese brand’s history as the first shoe designed by Toshikazu Kayano. The modern iteration is remastered with additional FF BLAST foam while retaining a retro basketball shoe sensibility. In 2022, the EX89 experienced a cultural renaissance when Kith founder Ronnie Fieg presented a luxury interpretation of the silhouette.
