The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 Trainers are built for agility and comfort on indoor courts. The integrated ASICS GELTM technology is strategically placed to absorb impact from jumps and quick directional changes, which is vital in sports like badminton and squash. This cushioning helps reduce fatigue and provides a responsive feel, allowing you to maintain peak performance longer. The lacing system is critical; spend time adjusting it to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit that locks your foot in place without restricting circulation. This prevents unwanted foot movement inside the shoe during lateral shifts and lunges, offering stability. The rubber sole is engineered to provide consistent grip on polished court surfaces, enabling confident starts, stops, and pivots. For example, during a fast-paced rally in badminton, the GEL-Rocket 12 allows for quick transitions from defense to attack, providing the necessary support for sudden sprints to the net or powerful smashes from the back of the court. Always ensure the court surface is clean for maximum grip.
Lacing Adjustment: When you first wear your Gel-Rocket 12 trainers, loosen the laces completely. Slide your foot in and gently tap your heel back to ensure it's properly seated.
Achieve Optimal Fit: Begin lacing from the toe, pulling each section of the laces evenly to secure the foot without creating pressure points. The goal is a snug fit that allows your toes to wiggle slightly. Tie a secure knot.
Break-In Period: Wear your new trainers for short periods during light activity before intense training to allow them to conform to your foot shape.
Indoor Court Sports: These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court sports such as badminton, squash, and other similar training activities. They are optimized for non-marking indoor surfaces.
Not for Outdoor Use: The sole material and design are not intended for abrasive outdoor surfaces, which can lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
Cleaning: After use, gently wipe down the synthetic upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush.
Sole Care: Regularly inspect the rubber sole and clean any debris or dust using a brush or damp cloth to maintain optimal 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.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve their materials and shape. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their form.
