Dynawall™ technology

Reinforcement in the side of the shoe to help improve stability when moving sideways. This technology allows players to move around the court in complete safety, even when making fast, unpredictable movements.

Wingwall technology

Updated for better support based on the new Dynawall™ design for sideways movements.

AHAR + technology

Ahar+ is a special layer of (robust ) rubber that resists abrasion. That's why you'll find this material in the most critical areas of the sole. So you can count on this pair to last a long time, come what may. The (+) variant is up to 50% more resistant than the standard Ahar sole.

GEL technology

The strategically placed gel at the front and back of the foot reduces impacts (at the heel) for a smoother stride. The gel at the forefoot also reduces impacts when moving forward. The main benefits of this technology are: Comfort, stability and cushioning.

EVA technology

Flexible, lightweight foam often used in the midsole of footwear for its good cushioning qualities and comfort.

"Asics Insole - Made For Padel" technology

Insoles made of polyurethane - in short, a foam membrane that wicks away perspiration and better absorbs impacts. It provides a lightweight shoe with excellent breathability and optimal cushioning.

Asics' commitment to 2030

Because of the damaging impact of producing textiles from virgin polyester, Asics is committed to using alternatives by 2030. In this respect, the brand has already begun manufacturing shoes with fabric made from PET bottles, in order to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, The insole reduces overall water consumption (by around 33%).

Outsole tread pattern: herringbone

This sole is also called wavy or clay court tread. You can recognize it by its wave design. This is the most popular sole among regular padel players due to its good traction and its ability to slide well on the court. It's also incredibly robust and perfect for playing on synthetic turf or sand.
