ASICS Gel-Blackheath 7 GS Junior Hockey Shoes
Choose a hockey shoe that will give your child the stability they need to improve their stickwork - and protect their growing feet. ASICS GEL-BLACKHEATH 7 GS hockey shoes have the grip and support kids need to stay agile on the pitch.
Protective Upper
Tough synthetic uppers will encase each foot in durable comfort, defending feet against impacts and abrasions during a zealous match. The PGuard, a reinforced rubber/resin compound, wraps the forefoot for enhanced durability and protection against drag. An internal heel counter helps to secure the rearfoot; it unites with the lacing system to promote complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. The mesh tongue and ankle collar add soft support plus breathability.
SpEVA Midsole
A moulded sockliner exists as an extra layer of plush, step-in comfort. SpEVA resides in the midsole to supply lightweight cushioning. 20% more responsive than standard EVA, the rubber/foam compound boasts extreme resilience whilst it infuses every stride with the kind of power you need for aggressive games. Embedded within the midsole platform is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. The silicone-like material effectively absorbs shock and protects your feet from high-impact strikes, sparing your joints as sprint down onto hard, unforgiving pitch surfaces. ASICS contrast their cushioning with the DuoMax Support System. Higher-density midsole material sits on the medial side of the shoe to improve support and curb inward rolling, creating a stable and safe platform for you to play on.
Flexible Outsole
A reconfigured outsole completes the Gel-Blackheath 7. Lugs of varying sizes adorn it, supply multi-directional grip across every pitch. A pivot point accommodates quick transitions and sharp turns whilst flex grooves promote natural foot flexion, allowing the shoe to work with your foot rather than control it, and provide enhanced grip in all conditions.
