The ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers excel in indoor court environments, particularly for volleyball. Their maximum stability feature is crucial for quick lateral shifts, jumps, and landings, helping to prevent ankle roll and ensuring secure foot placement. The breathable mesh underlays are vital during extended play, keeping your feet ventilated and reducing discomfort from sweat, which can otherwise lead to blisters or reduced focus. The lace-up fastening allows you to achieve a precision fit, locking your foot in place for explosive movements and pivots. For example, during a critical defensive dig, the stable platform and secure lacing ensure your foot remains firmly supported, allowing for immediate redirection. The 100% rubber sole provides consistent, non-marking traction, essential for maintaining grip on polished indoor court surfaces without slippage. These trainers are built for performance where agility, quick reactions, and reliable grip are paramount.
Setup:
Unboxing: Remove the trainers from their packaging.
Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets.
Fitting: Put on athletic socks and then the trainers. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight, ensuring full foot stability. Double-knot for security during play.
Compatibility: The ASICS Upcourt 6 Trainers are primarily designed for volleyball and other indoor court sports such as badminton, squash, or pickleball. Their specific construction, including the non-marking rubber sole and stability features, makes them ideal for indoor surfaces. They are less suitable for outdoor use, running on pavement, or field sports, as these activities demand different types of sole patterns and cushioning.
Care:
Cleaning Uppers: For the 100% other materials and polyester mesh uppers, gently wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Cleaning Soles: Wipe the 100% rubber soles with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust, which can impair grip.
Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources (like radiators or direct sunlight), as this can damage materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Odor Control: Remove insoles periodically to air out. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb moisture and odors if necessary.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
