The Asics Gel-Netburner Academy 10 Netball Shoes are engineered for competitive netball athletes seeking optimal performance. Their key strength lies in providing greater flexibility and a lightweight design, enabling swift and agile movements on the court. While highly specialized for netball, users should ensure the correct size and fit for maximum benefit. These shoes integrate advanced cushioning with a flexible, supportive structure to enhance play.
FLYTEFOAM Technology Cushioning: Provides lightweight, responsive cushioning that helps absorb impact and return energy with each stride, reducing fatigue during intense play.
Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology Cushioning: Strategically placed GEL units absorb severe shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing for smoother transitions and protecting joints.
No-Sew Upper Design: Improves flexibility and reduces irritation, promoting a more natural and comfortable foot movement during quick cuts and sprints.
Flex Grooves in Outsole's Forefoot: Enhances the shoe's natural flexibility, supporting the foot's natural bending motion and enabling more agile and responsive play.
3D Print on Upper: Contributes to increased breathability to keep feet cool, while maintaining the shoe's overall durability and providing essential support.
Eyelet Loop System: Helps to deliver a better, more secure, and adjustable fit, enhancing stability and confidence during dynamic court movements.
Exceptional Flexibility: Engineered for quick directional changes and agile court movement.

Designed for the dynamic demands of netball, the Asics Gel-Netburner Academy 10 excels in scenarios requiring rapid acceleration, sudden stops, and precise directional changes. Its combination of features directly supports typical netball movements:
Quick Cuts and Pivots: The shoe's no-sew upper and forefoot flex grooves work in tandem to allow for natural foot flexion, enabling players to execute sharp, agile cuts necessary for dodging opponents or positioning for a pass. The lightweight design further enhances this agility.
Jumping and Landing: During jump shots or interceptions, the Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Technology and FLYTEFOAM cushioning absorb the significant impact of landing, protecting joints and ensuring a stable base for the next move.
Sustained Play Comfort: The 3D print upper provides crucial breathability, helping to manage heat and moisture build-up during intense, extended periods of play, contributing to overall player comfort and focus. The eyelet loop system ensures a consistently secure fit, preventing slippage and maintaining stability throughout the game.
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Adjusting Fit: Begin lacing from the bottom eyelets, pulling snugly but not too tightly. Utilize the eyelet loop system to achieve a secure fit around your midfoot, ensuring stability without constricting circulation. Double-knot for security.
Break-In: While designed for immediate comfort, a short break-in period during practice or light activity can help the shoes mold to your foot's unique shape.
Sport: Specifically designed for netball and its unique movements (quick cuts, jumps, sprints).
Surface: Best suited for indoor court surfaces, which typical netball shoes are designed for. While durable, abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear.
User: Optimized for competitive netball athletes seeking flexibility, lightweight design, and advanced cushioning.
Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior of the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush on stubborn spots. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can damage materials. Remove insoles if damp to speed drying and prevent odor.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged storage in extreme temperatures.
Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or natural alternatives like baking soda sachets to keep them fresh.
