ASICS Gel-Netburner Academy 9 Women's Netball Shoes
The ASICS Gel-Netburner Academy 9 Netball Shoes provide advanced componentry for competitive netball athletes seeking greater flexibility and a lightweight design.
No-Sew Upper
The Gel-Netburner Academy Netball Shoe is constructed with a premium quality no-sew upper that is highly breathable. As well as allowing a strong airflow throughout the shoe, cooling you down when you need it the most, the upper allows sweat to move away from the skin, to the outer layer where it can be evaporated. This allows you to stay dry, fresh and ready to win at all times. As well as being breathable, the upper provides optimal comfort and stability as you move across the court, whilst still protecting your foot from any possible damage. The upper means the shoe is very lightweight, allowing you to glide effortlessly during a game or training. The shoes feature a padded tongue to enhance comfort whilst also absorbing impact. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system to help lock your feet down to prevent any excessive movement.
FlyteFoam Midsole
The midsole of the Gel-Netburner shoe contains FlyteFoam technology, which provides exceptional bounce back and responsiveness. The midsole possesses outstanding cushioning properties which absorb impact when striking the ground, while the SpEVA midsole has rebounding qualities that enhance movement into the next step. A removable sockliner is fitted, which can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic. The sockliner works towards enhancing the foot's natural gait. Another outstanding feature of this incredible midsole is the GEL cushioning systems fitted to both the rearfoot and forefoot. These absorb shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions. Lastly, a Trusstic system is fitted, this stabiliser creates a pocket between the system and the midsole, improving arch support and torsion stability.
Non-Marking Rubber Outsole
A thinner and lighter version of ASICS high abrasion-resistant rubber, this non-marking outsole is tough and protective, while being light enough to allow comfortable and unrestricted movement on the court. This rubber is placed on heavy contact areas of the outsole to reduce excessive wear without compromising durability. 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.
