The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 excels in the dynamic environment of indoor court sports. The superior cushioning helps to absorb the repetitive impacts from jumping and landing, common in sports like volleyball and squash, reducing strain on joints. The enhanced stability is crucial for rapid lateral movements, pivots, and quick changes in direction often seen in badminton or table tennis, preventing ankle rolls and improving player confidence and safety. Their durable materials mean they can withstand the scuffs and drags of intense play, making them a consistent performer for dedicated athletes. For example, a volleyball player performing multiple jumps and dives would benefit significantly from the impact absorption and support, while a badminton player would appreciate the stability for swift court coverage and precise footwork. The non-marking outsole provides excellent traction without damaging court surfaces.
Setup: Simply lace up the shoes to a snug, comfortable fit, ensuring your heel is secure and your toes have enough room to wiggle without sliding forward. Take a few steps to confirm the fit before playing. Compatibility: The Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court sports. This includes activities like volleyball, badminton, squash, pickleball, handball, and table tennis. The non-marking sole provides excellent grip on polished gym floors without leaving scuff marks. They are not recommended for outdoor running or trail sports as the sole pattern and cushioning are optimized solely for indoor surfaces. Care:- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tough dirt, a soft brush can be used on the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators, hair dryers, or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials and adhesives.- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.- Odour Control: Consider using shoe deodorizers or airing them out after each use to prevent odor buildup and maintain freshness.
