Upper
The Upper of the Gel-Solution Speed 3 is constructed from an open mesh, maintaining excellent comfort whilst giving superb breathability to the foot during excessive movement around the court. A flexion fitted vamp in the upper also offers breathability whilst giving much needed support and stability whilst manoeuvring and making sharp turns. A removable EVA sockliner, moulded to the shape of the foot adds comfort and can be removed if needed to accommodate a medical orthotic. The upper also features P.H.F.® (Personalised Heel Fit), consisting of 2 layers of memory foam which line the collar and mould to the athlete's heel to create a personalised fit.
Midsole
The Midsole features many different Asics technologies. Engineered with the DuoMax support system, a dual density midsole system which is positioned to give advanced support and stability to the wearer. Both Solyte 55 and Solyte material feature in the midsole, both of which are a lighter compound than the standard Asics SpEVA or EVA midsol. There is also Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL cushioning systems to attenuate shock during the impact of toe-off phases, allowing comfortable movement in multiple planes.
Outsole
The sole of the Gel-Solution Speed 3 comes with Asics Impact Guidance system, created to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe off. A propulsion Trusstic also features in the outsole. This supportive shank channels energy to provide a forward propulsion. The outsole itself is constructed from AHAR+ blown rubber, delivering enhanced cushioning and durability to the foot.
