The upper is made of PU (polyurethane) for excellent comfort. Thanks to its lightness, flexibility and suppleness, PU retains its shock-absorbing properties even in relatively thin soles. It also provides good grip and excellent stability. The exceptional padding helps absorb impacts for added comfort.

The Asics GEL Cushioning system gives these shoes excellent cushioning along with a good level of support and stability. This system is composed of two silicone patches that help the inside of the shoe to absorb the shockwave as you make contact with the floor, then disperse it horizontally to the rest of the midsole.It is made from compression-moulded EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) foam, whose hardness and density can vary depending on the type of shoe.

The Trusstic system in the midsole keeps the shoe rigid so that it does not twist too much as you move aggressively around the court. The shoe offers the high level of stability players need to firmly anchor their feet to the floor as they play.
