Both durable and comfortable, the Gel-Game 8 Women's Tennis Shoe is versatile for the recreational athlete who's playing several times per week. Preserving its excellent support properties, the focus of this model was to improve the shoe's ventilation and flexibility.
Open Mesh Upper
Featuring an open mesh design on the upper to improve airflow and keep feet cool, this shoe is complemented with synthetic leather overlays and a PU (polyurethane) film that offers improved stability when making abrupt transitions. The open mesh design enhances breathability by allowing cool air to permeate the construction and hot air to escape, ensuring your feet don't overheat and keeping you comfortable whilst you're working your hardest. The mesh also promotes efficient moisture management by wicking away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture to leave you cool, dry and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. The synthetic leather overlays and PU film provide a supportive upper, providing security through harsh lateral movements and quick pivots; reducing in-shoe slippage and minimising the risk of ankle injury.
EVA and Gel MidsoleThe midsole offers ASICS' unique GEL Cushioning System which is placed in the forefoot to supply bounce back and shock absorption; sparing your joints as you leap and land on unforgiving surfaces, allowing for smooth transitions and movement in multiple planes. Furthermore, Trusstic Technology in the midsole generates better stability on the court. Situated around these systems is an EVA midsole compound that is not only super cushioned and responsive but keeps its shape over time and usage, allowing the compound to be just as effective in the games planned ahead rather than just the immediate future.
Omni Court OutsoleThe improved outsole offers better flexibility and a more durable design for omni-court and clay surfaces. Having durability and traction enables you to make short, sharp movements without placing strain on your body and allowing a full, unrestricted range of motion in all directions. The Gel-Game 8 Women's Tennis Shoe is an excellent choice for beginner to mid-level players seeking a cushioned and stable tennis shoe.
