The Japan S™ Newstalgia shoes are 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 complemented with a combination of suede paneling, hairy suede underlays and a gum rubber outsole. 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™ Newstalgia shoe's vintage basketball aesthetic is paired with iconic court-specific details that are inspired by footwear worn on the hardwood by basketball players in the 80's.
