Made for basketball, reinvented for the street. The EX89™ blends retro court aesthetics of the 1989 GEL-EXTREME basketball sneaker with modern low-profile details. With advanced FF BLAST™ technology, bold color blocking, and layered leather mirrors, the EX89™ is designed to push the boundaries, no matter what arena you play in.
EX89™ is a revival model of a product that was released as a basketball shoe (called GEL-EXTREME) in 1989. We have kept the iconic design of the shoes, while incorporating the latest technology to provide consumers with comfort and style. The result is a shoe that has the stability that helped some of the greatest players at the highest level, with the color and expression to help fashion-forward individuals style the perfect outfit.
Expanding our use of FF Blast™ throughout the line we provide additional comfort with a full-length BLAST insole with an additional BLAST heel wedge for added step in comfort. It also features an evolution of the late 80’s cupsole, designed to meet the functional needs of the basketball court, and the outsole was designed for traction. Now, it’s evolved for the style individualist to use its bold color and have the confidence they need to take on whatever arena they enter.
