Asics' commitment to sustainability 2030
Because of the damaging environmental impact of producing textiles from virgin polyester, Asics is committed to using more sustainable natural alternatives by 2030. In this respect, the brand has already begun manufacturing shoes with fabric made from recycled PET bottles, in order to reduce CO2 emissions. In addition, dyeing the insole reduces overall water consumption (by around 33%).
Twistruss™ technology
The TWISTRUSS technology was developed for faster directional changes on the court. The innovative TWISTRUSS™ structure's grooves improve twisting without adding weight.This technology improves flexion and torsion, minimising the loss of power when the foot bends and twists. It resists torsion with rigid integrity and returns energy for faster lateral movement.
GEL technology
The strategically placed gel at the front and back of the foot reduces impacts (at the heel) for a smoother stride. The gel at the forefoot also reduces impacts when moving forward. The main benefits of this technology are: Comfort, stability and cushioning.
Flex Groove technology
Technology designed into the outsole to improve forefoot flexibility and give your steps greater stability and grip.
Outsole tread pattern: herringbone
This sole is also called wavy or clay court tread. You can recognize it by its wave design. This is the most popular sole among regular padel players due to its good traction and its ability to slide well on the court. It's also incredibly durable and perfect for playing on clay.
How to choose your padel shoes
Padel shoes can make a big impact on performance. When choosing yours, you'll want to consider the following details: comfort (foot length and shoe size, materials, etc.); cushioning (technologies that provide good cushioning, such as Asics Gel); stability (laces, fabric at the ankle to keep your foot from slipping); traction (robust outsole); durability.
