The ASICS Upcourt 6 is an ideal choice for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis. Its breathable mesh underlays are crucial for maintaining comfort during long matches or training sessions, preventing overheating and discomfort. The adaptable mesh inserts ensure a snug yet flexible fit, allowing the foot to move naturally while providing essential support.
Maximum stability is a standout feature, directly benefiting athletes who require quick changes in direction, lateral cuts, and explosive jumps. This stability helps to reduce the risk of ankle rolls and provides a firm foundation for powerful movements. For example, a volleyball player making a quick block or a badminton player dashing across the court will appreciate the secure feel and responsive support. The shoe's design aims to facilitate agile performance, making it a reliable partner for players focused on speed and precision on the court.
Setting up your ASICS Upcourt 6 involves correctly lacing the shoes to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what provides the best support for your foot shape and activity. Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot flexion.
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. Their outsole pattern and material are optimized for traction and durability on polished gym floors. They are compatible with a range of indoor court sports, including volleyball, badminton, squash, and table tennis. While durable, their design is not intended for outdoor use on abrasive surfaces like asphalt or concrete, which can prematurely wear down the sole.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and performance of your ASICS Upcourt 6:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic overlays with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as these can damage materials and adhesives. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used on the outsole.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can cause materials to crack or shrink. Do not use a dryer.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
Odor Control: Remove insoles to air out after each use. You can also use odor-absorbing inserts or sprays designed for athletic footwear.
