The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is engineered to excel in the fast-paced environment of indoor court sports. The integrated ASICS GEL Technology is critical during intense matches, cushioning hard landings from jumps in badminton or absorbing the impact of quick lunges in squash. This not only enhances comfort but also helps protect your joints over prolonged periods of play.
The durable rubber outsole provides a reliable grip, allowing athletes to make sharp cuts, sudden stops, and explosive pushes off the court without fear of slipping. This superior traction is vital for maintaining balance and agility, enabling precise footwork during rallies. Whether you're making quick lateral movements to retrieve a shuttlecock or pushing off for a powerful smash, the Gel-Rocket 12 offers the stability and responsiveness needed to perform at your best. Its robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of frequent training and competitive play on indoor surfaces.
Lacing: Ensure your ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 shoes are laced snugly but not overly tight. Start lacing from the toes upwards, ensuring even tension to secure your foot without restricting circulation. Experiment with different lacing patterns to find the most comfortable and secure fit for your foot type.
Socks: Wear appropriate athletic socks that wick away moisture to enhance comfort and prevent blisters during play.
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 is specifically designed for indoor court surfaces. This includes wood, synthetic, and rubber courts found in gymnasiums and sports halls.
Ideal Sports: Badminton, squash, volleyball, pickleball, and other indoor court sports requiring quick, agile movements.
Not Recommended: For outdoor use, running on asphalt, trail running, or heavy weightlifting, as these activities can damage the outsole and do not leverage the shoe's specialized features.
Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe down the upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn marks on the rubber outsole, use a soft brush and mild soap solution. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Drying: Always allow your shoes to air dry completely after use. Remove the insoles to help them dry faster and prevent odor. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, as these can degrade materials.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Rotation: If you play frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of indoor court shoes to extend their lifespan and allow each pair to fully dry and recover between uses.
