And we say acquainted because we will analyze them in depth, each of their components and their performance on the court. Why are they so popular? What are their qualities? Are they really worth it? Stay tuned to learn all about the answers to these questions and Asics padel shoes.

All the details of the new Asics Gel Padel Exclusive 6

Who were the Asics Gel Padel Exclusive 6 designed for?

This is one of the first questions that needs to be answered. Originally, the Asics Gel Padel Exclusive 6 were created for occasional padel players. An occasional padel player is one who has not yet reached a competitive level, but plays for fun a few times a week. However, thanks to the quality of their materials and the guarantee offered by a renowned brand like Asics, they can also be fully functional for intermediate or advanced players. Regarding the playing style, their two main qualities are flexibility and comfort. They have everything necessary to play padel safely, though not for reaching an intense and competitive level. Nevertheless, with them you will be able to perform all shots and movements with good speed and cushioning.

Their best feature: cushioning

Without a doubt, cushioning is the most important aspect of this model. The midsole area features cushioning layers with GEL technology. If you are familiar with the brand, you surely know what we are talking about; if not, we will explain it below. GEL is one of the most popular technologies of the Japanese firm, a cushioning technology. It is an absorbent material that can be found in the rear, front, or throughout the midsole area. Its objective is to cushion the impact of the foot strike and provide energy return so that the player has more propulsion in their movements. Furthermore, GEL technology is also found in the brand's highest-end shoes, such as the GEL Lima FF or the Asics Court FF 2. This indicates that, despite being shoes aimed at amateur players, they feature professional elements.

A secure sole for padel court surfaces

As these are 100% padel shoes, Asics has created a sole that can perfectly adapt to the court surface, which is generally carpet or artificial turf. They have manufactured a high-resistance rubber sole, whose primary objective is traction and grip on the ground. This will allow players to have good control over their slides and turns. Additionally, they have a great detail, which is also usually found in the shoes worn by World Padel Tour players. We are talking about Trusstic technology. This is a rigid piece located in the middle part of the outsole, its purpose is to prevent the shoes from twisting or deforming. This improves stability and support during foot strikes and movements, to prevent injuries such as ankle sprains.

Breathable, flexible and safe

To top it off perfectly, the GEL Padel Exclusive 6 features a premium quality upper, something the Japanese padel brand has accustomed us to. We are talking about a construction that is mostly composed of breathable mesh. The first thing that comes to mind with it is the freshness of the feet and the quick drying of sweat. But, this upper also gives the feet more freedom, and helps players move more lightly, thanks to its flexible construction.
