ASICS Gel-Challenger 14 Women's Tennis Shoes
Creating the stability you need when covering the baseline, the Gel-Challenger 14 from ASICS keeps your mind focused on controlling the point.
Supportive Upper
The upper of the ASICS Gel-Challenger 14 Tennis Shoe is designed to provide unbeatable support. It features a PGUARD toe protector to protect the toe box and your feet from abrasion and ensures long-lasting performance. The supportive upper of the tennis shoes keeps your feet locked in on the shoe's platform for a stable ride and comfortable fit. This creates a reinforced feel during volleys or when dropping back to track down deep lob shots. DYNAWING technology has been placed in the sidewall to further help improve stability during side-to-side movements, offering good support and allowing you to step into your shot and stroke the ball with more pace. The traditional lacing system gives that locked-in feel for added confidence and secures the shoe to the foot for improved stability and control. A padded tongue feels comfortable against the skin and protects the foot from lace pressure and an Ortholite sockliner delivers step-in comfort.
The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.
GEL Technology Midsole
The midsole of the Gel-Challenger 14 will provide you with comfort, protection and responsiveness. The midsole is extremely springy, helping every step feel extremely comfortable. Creating excellent comfort, the GEL technology cushioning unit in the rearfoot improves shock absorption, reducing the impact and weight placed on the knees, ankles and other joints. Additionally, every step you take when running (or making short, sharp movements) will be enhanced by the responsive midsole, providing an added spring in your step to help you push on past your opponents.
AHARPLUS Outsole
Complete with an AHARPLUS outsole, the Gel-Challenger 14 Tennis Shoe offers tough protection, while being light enough to allow comfortable and unrestricted movement on the court. AHARPLUS has 3 times higher abrasion resistance when compared to more conventional rubbers, and is 50% lighter, making it an outstanding choice for anyone looking to raise their game to the next level. While being protective, light, and resistant is very important, the outsole offers the perfect level of grip on the court; it's got enough traction to keep you from slipping and sliding, but will still allow you to be light on your feet. The outsole also features a separated heel construction to help you experience better stability during abrupt landings.
