Shoes Asics Gel Rocket for the gym
If you're torn between stability and flexibility, start with the Asics Gel Rocket shoes: the brand presents them as a good balance between the two, allowing you to move confidently on the field.
The Gel-Rocket 12 leads the way, available in men's and women's versions, with a few colourways from previous generations.
Gel-Rocket 12: the Gel to absorb impacts
The midsole of the Gel-Rocket 12 features Asics' Gel cushioning, a material that absorbs shocks with every landing and sudden stop. This is the technology that gave the model its name, and it remains the foundation of its comfort.
The Trusstic of the Gel-Rocket, stable in transitions
Under the arch, a Trusstic enhances stability during quick transitions, when the foot moves from one footfall to another. It limits the twisting of the shoe during direction changes, an important point in handball.
Gel-Rocket: breathable upper and flexible sole
The upper is made of breathable mesh, to keep the foot cool during long sessions. The outsole features flex grooves that follow the foot's movement and make the shoe flexible from the very first minutes.
Gel-Rocket, the all-purpose indoor shoe
Asics categorizes the Gel-Rocket under court shoes, without limiting it to one sport. Specialist retailers mention handball among its uses, along with other indoor sports. It’s a good pair for a player who plays multiple indoor sports or who’s looking for a versatile indoor shoe for training.
Other Asics besides the Gel-Rocket
For more lateral stability, the Gel Tactic and the Powerbreak reinforce the sides of the foot. For more generous cushioning, check out the Gel Beyond. The entire range of the brand is available on the Asics shoes page.
