Asics Gel-Blast 5 Women's Indoor Court Shoes
The Asics Gel Blast 5 court shoe delivers the premium level of features making it quick, light, and grippy but well supported for indoor courts. A shoe packed full of technology with great levels of stability, comfort and shock absorption.
Synthetic Leather Upper
The upper of the Gel-Blast 5 has been constructed using synthetic leather to provide an abundance of protection and resistance, particularly to abrasion, giving you the comfort and the confidence to move aggressively on the court. Whilst boasting protection and comfort, the upper also has great durability to allow you to push yourself time and time again. Located at the back of the upper is an air mesh material, offering optimal breathability and comfort. The mesh actively and efficiently wicks away the build-up of excess sweat and moisture, leaving your feet cool, dry, and comfortable as you strive for the best results and performance. A personal heel fit adds stability and resilience to a potentially susceptible area, ideal for lateral movements where exaggerated wear and tear is highly possible. A padded tongue sits comfortably against the skin, preventing friction and irritation such as chafing while the traditional lacing system offers a secure, locked-in feel as you move. Rounding off the upper is California slip lasting which directly connects the upper to the midsole for stability and comfort.
Solyte Midsole
A Solyte midsole increases cushioning and durability, whilst being lighter than the traditional EVA. This means that towards the bottom of the midsole, the EVA is firmer and will absorb shocks extremely efficiently. The higher up the midsole you go, the EVA changes in that it is softer, providing cushioning to reduce stress on the ankles and knees. Further protection is provided by a gel heel and forefoot shock absorption system. A DuoMax support system will enhance stability, keeping you in a firm and strong position over a long period of time. The shoe uses Asics' Trusstic system, which will provide further strength and stability over time.
Durable Rubber Outsole
A durable rubber compound comprises the outsole of the Gel-Blast 5, giving optimal grip and traction as well as the flexibility required for those aforementioned sharp, aggressive movements typically associated with court-based sports. The outsole is also non-marking, meaning it does not damage or scuff indoor surfaces.
