The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is engineered to excel in fast-paced indoor court environments. Its Gel Cushioning System is immediately noticeable, absorbing the impact from jumps and quick pivots common in sports like badminton and volleyball, helping to protect your joints and reduce fatigue. The durable outsole ensures consistent grip on polished court surfaces, allowing for confident, explosive movements and sudden stops without slipping. This reliable traction is critical for maintaining balance and executing precise footwork.
During intense matches, the breathable upper works effectively to keep your feet cool, preventing discomfort from sweat build-up. The overall design supports agility, allowing players to change direction rapidly and respond quickly to the game. For example, a badminton player performing a lunge or a volleyball player jumping for a spike will appreciate the combination of cushioning, stability, and support, which contributes to more efficient and safer play.
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes require no complex setup. Simply unbox, lace them up, and they are ready for use. Ensure you wear appropriate athletic socks for optimal comfort and fit.
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. They are highly compatible with activities such as:
Badminton
Volleyball
Squash
Table Tennis
Other non-marking indoor court activities
While robust, their sole pattern and material composition are optimized for indoor surfaces, making them less suitable for abrasive outdoor use.
Proper care extends the lifespan of your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. For the outsole, use a brush to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum traction. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both insoles and shoes to air out. Baking soda can also be used inside the shoes to absorb moisture and odor.
