Asics Gel-Challenger 9
The award-winning ASICS GEL-Challenger series combines a classic look with state of the art technologies for tennis players, with the 9th version offering an improved fit and better durability.
The ASICS Gel-Challenger 9 tennis shoe features the DuoMax System in the midsole, which provides excellent sideways stability while the T-Truss, an extended Trusstic, offers additional support in the heel.
With both Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning, the GEL-Challenger 9 absorbs impact shock upon landing and take-off, while the Solyte midsole creates extra cushioning.
The shoe's outsole is slightly thicker on the inside of your foot to accommodate for sideways movements, while the Hotmelt upper contains less stitching, and less potential for irritation, to create a more comfortable fit.
ASICS
In tennis terms, that means helping players move around the court more quickly, more easily, and more comfortably, which is exactly what they’ve been doing since the release of their first tennis shoe, the Tiger A Type, way back in 1952.
It’s also why, when you look at their modern range, you’ll see some models with numbered revisions well into double figures. That’s the ethos in action. Constant refinement, reinvention, and innovation makes sure you’re always ahead of the game, in every sense.
Take the GEL-CHALLENGER, for example. A stalwart of the court for decades, it’s built for long-lasting stability, using durable materials and featuring extra support to keep you balanced during lateral moves.
You’ll also notice the GEL prefix on many of their shoes. First introduced on ASICS running trainers in the 80s, the proprietary cushioning tech has huge crossover value for tennis, absorbing the repeated impact forces that come with serving, sprinting, and changing direction. Over time, it helps you stay fresher for longer, vital for those gruelling three- and five-set matches.
There’s no doubt about it: ASICS make some of the best tennis shoes around. After all, if Novak Djokovic chooses to wear them, they must be good. The record-breaking Serb has his signature COURT FF, which boasts lightweight FlyteFoam for extra spring, while Gael Monfils wears the sturdy GEL-RESOLUTION. If speed across the court is your thing, check out the SOLUTION SPEED and SOLUTION SWIFT. For solid all-round performance, take a look at the GEL-CHALLENGER, GEL-GAME, and GEL-DEDICATE.
