ASICS Gel-Game 8 GS Junior Tennis Shoes
Both durable and comfortable, the Gel-Game 8 GS Junior Tennis Shoe is versatile for the recreational young athlete who plays several times per week.
Open Mesh Upper
The upper of the Gel-Game 8 GS Junior Tennis Shoes is constructed with an open mesh that encases each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh wraps and forms to the foot providing exceptional comfort, while also allowing air to fully permeate the construction, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air. The mesh also promotes moisture management as it works to wick sweat and transfer it to the outer layers where it can be easily evaporated, ensuring your child stays cool, dry and comfortable. In addition, the upper features a p-guard technology that protects your junior's shoes from abrasion from the court during certain movements such as foot drag. This high-wear compound is strategically placed in the areas that will receive the most beating from courts, therefore, allowing your child to use these time and time again. Lastly, the upper offers a wider heel cage for increased stability and support throughout tricky movements.
EVA Midsole
The midsole offers ASICS' unique GEL Cushioning System which is placed in the forefoot to supply bounce back and shock absorption; sparing your juniors joints as they volley and lob, and leap and land on unforgiving surfaces, allowing for smooth transitions and movement in multiple planes. Furthermore, the midsole offers the TRUSSTIC system that works incredibly hard to provide structural integrity and prevent torsion from occurring. The TRUSSTIC system is a big part of these tennis shoes as when your child goes through tricky motions. The system works to keep the feet stabilised and supported allowing your child to perform much better without the risk of injury. Situated around these systems is an EVA midsole compound that is not only super cushioned and responsive but keeps its shape over time and usage, allowing the compound to be just as effective in the games planned ahead rather than just the immediate future games.
Solid Rubber Outsole
The Gel-Game 8 GS Junior Tennis Shoes offer a solid rubber outsole that supplies improved grip on a variety of court surfaces. Having this durability and traction enables your child to make short, sharp movements without placing strain on their body. The shoes also feature an outrigger outsole construction which is where the outsole protrudes from the forefoot, giving the shoe a wider platform to help brace your child's weight and protect their joints as well as offering a more supportive and stable base.
