- The ASICS Japan S is a retro of a 1981 basketball model thats doesn't seem to get any shine when talking about retro basketball product. After getting these in hand I am a HUGE fan. What do you all think about this model?

Everyone should know Asics. Nike actually started out as an importer/agent for Asics in the US after Nike founder Phil Knight traveled to Japan and checked out their operation. Asics was the inspiration and influence for Nike. The founder of Asics.... Kihachiro Onitsuka is widely considered the original sneaker head.
That part 💯
You can say it... Nike ripped ONITSUKA TIGER (Asics) 😁 It's like if Elon Musk started by selling Hondas in the US. Then completely ripped Hondas operations and style. When it's worded like that, it makes you realize how much Nike rippes off.
@@nathano9637 pretty much. That is true
@@nathano9637 isn't that what wypipo do though... this is no surprise.
Asics have been sleepers for years!! I've been copping them loyally...prices are too good
Agree 💯%. Most people are sleeping on Asics
I think I'm sold. I just copped me a pair of these Japanese S in 2024
Years ago I tried Asics running shoes and since then I've never gone back to any other brand and no matter what the trends are, never will. They are perhaps the most underrated brand out there.❤🔥
they are such a solid brand! I need to add a few more pairs to the collection
Asics is a legend, and quality is real tank! had these before and they are just really durable.
The characters on the back says "Tokyo" in katakana
I used to get made fun of cus i didn't rock af1's or jordans but idk i quit liking nike they hiked the price way up since back in the day. I like asics cus they constantly have sales, these ones in the vid are 50 sometimes 35, i hope they have more color options in the future
Nah don't worry mate, Nikes overrated as f*, dem shoes are crazy uncomfortable and hell overpriced for such mediocre materials and the same lame silhouettes year over year, I personally think underrated brands like Asics have some of the most creative and unique silhouettes along with even better materials and quality than fortune companies like Nike, at incredibly affordable prices
Might as well cop some Asics Japans S, they look reslly unique and comfortable 👍
I actually have been wearing Asics shoes for a few years now, though I only wore their running shoes. I found this randomly, and didn't know that it existed. Now, I have a pair, and I must say that they're very comfortable. This, the EX89, and the Gel-Lyte III are some pretty underrated sneakers.
I just got a pair and they are really nice!
haha, this is funny (and one year later): I was looking for a sneaker in a retro look (Autry, Reebok etc), when I discovered the Japan s in the city today. I had NEVER heard of them before and because I fell in live instantly, I decided to order the right size online right away, as they where out in the store. What a perfect shoe I thought and again wondered, why I had never heard or read anything about them. So after ordering them I googled - it's nice to know about the history of a shoe too. First thing that popped up was your video. : ) Asics have some kind of very tricky niche thing going on, I think😂
Thanks for the video! I just picked up the women’s in white and pink. They remind me of Club C 85’s, which is one of my daily wears.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Theトーキョー = tōkyō on the back is Tokyo, though it's usually written in Japanese as 東京 (東 = tō = east, 京 = kyō = capital). The way to spell Asics in Japanese is アシックス = ashikkusu.
They look awesome. They run small I had to order size up. Usually a 10.5 had to order an 11
I just got mine today from South Africa. I have been sleeping I guess. I is so comfortable and sleek. I am done with dunks. I am sticking to Asics.
Haven’t heard of these guy!! But yes for the price point it looks good to me!! Better than dunk material lately 😂
One of if not my favorite shoes, The Japan S. I have AF1 but my S's are my reliable go-tos. The quality between the two are indistinguishable. The S's feel better IMO. Love this f@$!&ing shoe!
Without ASICS there is no nike
I know this video is a bit old but the back of the shoe says Tokyo for anyone wondering
I dig it just purchased them Asics Japan S midnight/midnight
Dope!! I’m gonna have to grab that pair next!!
Nice “M” on the wall....like that it’s wrapped in Marvel comic art. I like the shoe....looks cool!
Thanks bro!!
The writing on the back says Tokyo ト-キョ- in katakana. Also i was looking at purchasing a pair of sneakers and as of this moment i was looking at reebok, nike blazers (low or vintage mids), and these and i was wondering if i should get these or just traditional air forces.
Thanks! Me personally, I would go with the ASICS, the AF1 is a great shoe, but a bit heavy in my opinion.
Best brand ever with the truest history. Onitsuka tiger lawnships are the best shoe hands down. Wore my pair for 8 years. Asics are golden and timeless.
Bruh, I had the same reaction as in what even is this company. I was searching for a mostly white sneaker, and I want to step away from nike because they have seriously gone downhill. These were cheap and also clean looking (I ordered Japan S White/Gold). I still need to receive them once they ship to the asics store but if Im satisfied, Im gonna order their high-top version Japan L if there are more colorways.

@Kont Neuker yup. That's what turned me off to Nike as well. That and I found their build quality lacking. Too many of their products break after years use. By comparison my Asics last a LOT longer from the same usage.
@@Sabundy their price is too good too!
@@bimomuzakki9379 exactly my friend
Any update? Hope you tried a pair
Yeah I’ve been looking at these and the onitsuka tiger model that’s very similar
Used to have these back in the day. I've been hoping it's synthetic or that they have synthetic color ways but haven't been able to find any confirmation.
The reason why the asics look alot like nikes is because Asics used to work with nike until nike started making their own shoes
Also the gold writing in the back says tokyo because the shoes are based on cities, they have england, london; Australia,sydney; america, los angeles; etc. etc.
Thanks for the info!!
Not exactly worked with Nike. Nike started as an agent for importing Asics (Onitsuka Tiger at the time) to the US. Phil Knight (the founder of Nike) went to Japan and checked out their operation. He pretty much got the whole idea for starting Nike from Asics. Or to put it less charitibly he basically copied the idea from Asics.
@@Sabundy yes
They have been around for a while. Just got mine with a denim design. Sleek.
I hate the look of these, but i find dunks, J1s and AF1s SO UNCOMFORTABLE, and asics always makes comfy shoes…debating on trying these
I love them. My son put me on.
That’s dope!!!
Send gratitude from Ukraine. Just looking for this, and it's just single review that i found and it's great. Thanks
Awesome!!! Thanks for checking out my review!
Clean colorway!
Heel tab says tokyo
Thank you!! I'm glad to finally know that!
Awesome as always!!!!
I appreciate that Rodney!!
You have earn a new subscriber, good review!
Thank You!! I appreciate that!
This is fire bro
Great review!
Where did you get them?
I got these directly from the ASICS website. It’s been a few years, so this color may be gone, but there are tons of them
I wonder if my feet can breathe (get enough air) and remain dry while taking long walks wearing this Japan S
Do you know if these are any good for playing or is it more like casual shoes?
What about the size ? In some stores they recomend a size or half a size yo.
It is said Tokyo.
people should stop sleeping on asics
Great video 👍
Hey Bro,i'm brazilian and i cant buy This tênis or find in This link
Can u help me?
Here you go! Hope this helps: www.asics.com/us/en-us/search/men/?q=Japan
It says Tokyo written in katakana script
Does it have gel?
Good job!!!
should I buy the gel ptg or japan s ? I'm confused
I personally like the shape of the Japan S more, but they are both great looking models.
@@MikeGuillory yeah me too . The japan s is aesthetically more beautiful in my opinions
where i can get these laces
try to review this with Gel-PTG
How thick is the sole of the shoe? Compared to Air Force 1 and superstar.. Is it thicker Or thinner? No cushions?
Thinner, closer to a Jordan 1 or dunk midsole. No cushion, only the ortholite insole
close to the adidas superstar too, no?
great video
Thanks!!
I've got the Asics Onitsuka Tiger GSM. very similar. Quality is better and super comfy. Asics is my jam . I would never purchase anything Nike
Deu certo o tamanho ou precisou ser de um tamanho maior? Ouvi dizer que ele é pequeno comparado a outras marcas
These shoes give me slang dunk vibes
Yes, I have... pity, you haven't till now!
😂😂 yeeeah I was late to the party lol
got a pair in all white for over a year now, still DS. cool shoe, I just don't like that fake outsole stitching detail :|
Where arethey made??!
Japan
@@umthwaonenkani3056 doubt it, i think Cambodia
@@kevinmccauley4869 Just read that they are made at a production factory in Japan. This particular one is called the Asics Japan S. . .they have Japanese brand influencing as well.
@@umthwaonenkani3056 I would love if that were true. You would think made in Japan would be way more expensive. I try to avoid anything made in China, Cambodia india etc
@@umthwaonenkani3056 but thanks for letting me know.
Says Tokyo on the heel. トーキョー
Thanks!
🔥🔥
Thanks Josh!
These shits squeak like mad on smooth surfaces
Hahahahaha really??? Is the squeak worse than the sound the Jordan 13 makes with the “leather” tongue?
@@MikeGuillory dunno, never tried any Jordans. But they're loud as shit even if i shift my foot just a milimeter while sitting.
