The EX89 sneaker from the SHIGEN 2.0 Pack blends the heritage of the GEL-EXTREME basketball shoe from 1989 with influences from Japan's recycling practices. It features a consistent shade of blue that references the idea of recycling in Japan throughout the design. Inspired by Japan's public trash cans, the garbage trucks, and the process of sorting the trash into resources this design reimagines the idea of ugly trash with having a positive connotation. The outsoles pattern is meant to mirror the view of a city from the sky. This functional grip feature was initially inspired by the designers first business trip to the United States in 1987. - Recycled PET and textile upper - Leather overlays - FF BLAST cushioning - Perforations - Low-cut, padded collar - Lace up closure - Inspired by the GEL-EXTREME sneaker from 1989 - Inspired by the practice of recycling in Japan - Originally created by Toshikazu Kayano for his first design project at ASICS - Colour: White/Dolphin Blue - Style: 1203A285-100Isothermal foam maintains consistent performance across climate extremes
