The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is engineered to enhance performance in fast-paced indoor court sports. The integrated ASICS GEL Technology in the midsole acts as a shock absorber, cushioning landings from jumps in volleyball or mitigating impact during quick lateral movements in badminton. Its design prioritizes support and stability, allowing players to make sharp cuts and rapid changes in direction with confidence, reducing the risk of ankle rolls. The durable construction means it can withstand the repetitive stress of indoor court surfaces, making it a reliable choice for regular training and competitive play. For example, during a squash match, the shoe's grip and support enable quick lunges and pivots, while the cushioning ensures comfort even during extended rallies. In volleyball, the GEL-Rocket 12 provides the necessary support for powerful vertical jumps and soft landings.
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure laces are securely tied, providing a snug but comfortable fit. Adjust tension to prevent heel slippage without constricting blood flow.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from the start, allow a short break-in period of 1-2 sessions for the shoes to fully conform to your foot shape.
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports, including:
Volleyball
Badminton
Squash
Pickleball
Table Tennis
They are not recommended for outdoor use on asphalt, concrete, or grass, as this can lead to premature wear of the specialized indoor outsole and reduce performance.
Proper care extends the lifespan and maintains the performance of your Gel-Rocket 12 shoes:
Cleaning: After use, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Remove insoles to speed up drying and prevent odors. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Odor Control: Use shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and maintain freshness.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid crushing them to maintain their shape.
