The JAPAN S™ shoes originally made their debut in 1981 and are now available in the kids' JAPAN S™ PRE-SCHOOL model. 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 enhanced with premium comfort and long-lasting cushioning. Mimicking the aesthetic of a retro basketball sneaker, this heritage kids style is also paired with nostalgic branding, like the ASICS Stripes on the quarter-panels and "ASICS" lettering at the heel. The JAPAN S™ PRE-SCHOOL kid's shoe with its vintage basketball aesthetic is complemented with court-specific details that are inspired by footwear worn on the hardwood by basketball players in the 80s.

Designed For Neutral Foot

• Foot Type

  Normal size arches

• Push Off

  There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

• Considered Injuries

  Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.

• How your foot contacts the ground

  The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
