Our take on the ASICS Men Needles x EX89

The ASICS Needles x EX89 is a collaboration sneaker between ASICS and Japanese label Needles, built on the EX89 retro basketball silhouette. It mixes leather and mesh on the upper with contrast stitching, perforations and a rubber outsole, and adds a midfoot support bridge for a stable, cushioned ride. It is a lifestyle shoe, not a performance runner, despite the neutral road-running labeling. At $35.00 at GOAT as of November 7, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well below typical retail for a collab EX89.

Questions and answers

Is the ASICS Needles x EX89 good for running?
No. It is a lifestyle sneaker on the EX89 retro basketball last. The cushioning is fine for walking, but it lacks modern running foam and is not built for training.
How does it fit?
It fits true to length for most buyers, but the upper runs somewhat narrow. If you have wide feet, consider going up half a size.
What is the difference from a regular EX89?
The Needles version keeps the EX89 sole and shape but uses Needles' material and color choices, with contrast stitching and perforations. The mainline EX89 comes in more colorways.
Is $35 a good price?
Yes. $35.00 at GOAT as of November 7, 2026 is far below typical retail for a collaboration EX89, which usually sells for well over $100.
Is it waterproof?
No. It has no Gore-Tex lining, and the mesh panels let water through. Keep it for dry days.
What sizes are available?
Listings run from US 4 to US 14 in medium width, unisex sizing. Availability varies by size and colorway.
