Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Contend 9 Trainers in Black/Pink are designed for young, active boys who need a comfortable and supportive shoe for running and general sports. Their key benefit is providing excellent shock absorption and a secure fit for active play. A potential consideration is that the touch 'n' close fastening, while easy, might be less preferred for older children requiring more advanced lacing. These trainers feature a flat heel, lace and touch 'n' close fastening, a shock-absorbing insole, and a rubber outsole for optimal traction.
