The Australian Open is well and truly underway, with tennis fanatics flocking to Melbourne Park to enjoy the many blockbuster matches. On-foot at the AO, the players are sporting the freshest in tennis tech, like the latest from ASICS, the GEL-RESOLUTION X.
Coming correct with all the freshest upgrades, the GEL-Resolution X hosts a higher medial ankle cut, a DYNALCING system and updated DYNAWALL, providing players with supreme support and comfort on-court. The midsole has also been given an overhaul, boasting a two-pronged approach with FLYTEFOAM and FF BLAST foam, touting ‘cloud like comfort’.
‘Working with ASICS on the development of the GEL-RESOLUTION™ X shoe has been an incredible experience. They’ve listened to my feedback on what’s truly needed in a high-performance tennis shoe,’ said Brazilian tennis player Beatriz Haddad Maia in a press release. ‘The comfort and support in this new model are game-changers—I feel more confident in my movements, and that confidence makes all the difference on the court. In tennis, your feet are everything; they’re your foundation. The right shoes are essential for success, and with the GEL-RESOLUTION X shoe, I know I’m stepping onto the court with better support possible.’
The latest ASICS GEL-RESOLUTION X is the follow up to the ASICS GEL-RESOLUTION 9, with the biggest changes being the addition of FLYTEFOAM to the midsole, updated DYNAWALL and addition of DYNALACING. The overall weight is 25 grams higher, but the drop and midsole height remain the same. According to ASICS, this silhouette is best for players who move side to side on the baseline and require strong and stable footwear.
‘At ASICS, we embrace the philosophy of Kaizen—continuous improvement—which is at the heart of our design process. Every detail of the GEL-RESOLUTION™ X shoe reflects this commitment to evolve our products for the athletes who rely on them,’ said Yuhi Tanigaki, ASICS' global product manager of tennis footwear. ‘We are proud to launch the GEL-RESOLUTION X tennis shoe, the 10th anniversary model of one of our most successful tennis products ever. Through a commitment to comfort and understanding exactly what players need to support their game, we hope more people will step on the court with confidence.’
