The JAPAN S™ NEW STRONG™ 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. Drawing inspiration from springtime motifs—the season to begin in Japan, this style's colorway symbolizes the refreshing hues of Japan's skies, mountains, and rivers that are dressed in harukasumi (spring mist). Updated with a lightweight design that features a modified cupsole, this shoe is complemented with premium comfort and improved cushioning. Mimicking the aesthetic of a retro basketball sneaker, this heritage style is also paired with nostalgic branding, like the ASICS Stripes on the quarter-panels and "ASICS" lettering at the heel.
