The Asics Gel-Netburner Academy 10 excels in the demanding environment of a netball court. Its lightweight construction and flex grooves mean players can experience quick acceleration and effortless pivots, crucial for dodging defenders or making swift interceptions. The FLYTEFOAM technology in the midsole delivers remarkable energy return and superior cushioning, absorbing impact from jumps and landings, which is vital for protecting joints over the course of a match or training session.
The 3D print upper not only contributes to the shoe's durability against court abrasion but also allows for ample breathability, preventing overheating during intense play. The eyelet loop system ensures that once laced, the foot remains secure within the shoe, minimizing slippage and maximizing stability during lateral movements and quick stops. This combination of features allows netball athletes to maintain their agility and focus, reducing fatigue and enhancing overall performance.
Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelet loops. For a secure fit, use the top eyelet for a 'heel lock' lacing technique if desired.
Fit Check: Put on both shoes and walk around. Your toes should have a small space at the end of the shoe, and your heel should feel snug but not restrictive. Ensure the eyelet loop system is pulled evenly for a comfortable, locked-in feel.
Break-in Period: While comfortable from the start, allow for a short break-in period during light training sessions to fully adapt to the shoe's feel and flexibility.
Sport: Specifically designed for netball.
User: Primarily engineered for adult female competitive netball athletes.
Surface: Best suited for indoor netball court surfaces.
Cleaning: After use, wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and air them out. You can also use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight.
