Product Description

Both lightweight and flexible, the GEL-GAME™ 9 tennis shoe is versatile for all-court players. Preserving its excellent support properties, our focus this season was to improve the shoe’s ventilation and flexibility.​ Featuring an open mesh design on the upper to improve airflow and keep feet cool, this shoe is complemented with synthetic leather overlays and a PU (polyurethane) film that offers improved stability when making abrupt transitions.​ ​The TRUSSTIC technology in the midsole generates better stability on the court. At the same time, the new tooling combines an EVA midsole foam with GEL technology cushioning in the forefoot to increase shock absorption. Additionally, the improved outsole offers better flexibility and a more durable design.

These shoes fit great and are comfortable but with four weeks of use it’s looking like I’m only going to get eight weeks of use out of them.

I like to buy my husband red tennis shoes for Valentine’s Day each year and these are great performers. They have lasted durability wise and easy to put on and have great stability while playing tennis. They grip well and you don’t slide and as tennis pro we only like ASICS!

When I think of ACICS, I think of running, jogging shoes. This particular shoe is described as a tennis shoe. It certainly is too stiff to serve as a running shoe, but because of the support it gives, I like it for an every day shoe. The sizing is accurate, size 14 for me, and the construction is top notch. Wearing this shoe, my legs are not tired and achy at the end of the day. I would purchase them again.

Buought them to play Pickelball, not Tennis. I saw them at the Asics store and the pickle ball and the tennis are around the same price but with different colors. I watched a video in YouTube from a guy that actually bought the 2 of them and he stated they are the same shoe. I used the Try Before You Buy feuture from Amazon and just love them. These are really nice shoes.

ASICS has been one of my go-to brands for a reliable, durable, comfortable court shoe for tennis. In this case, the left shoe has already started to separate on top after five to seven uses. So disappointing!!
