ASICS announced the Court FF 3 in December 2022 and put it on sale the following month, closing a development cycle run alongside Novak Djokovic, who has worn the brand since the start of the 2018 season. The headline change sits underfoot: the outsole is split into three pieces rather than moulded as one, with the heel section itself divided in two so it spreads contact over a wider area as the foot lands. ASICS had the result measured at the University of Tsukuba in August 2022 and reported a 6.8 percent reduction in impact loading at heel contact against the previous generation.
Above that sits the TWISTRUSS support system, a two-part midfoot structure that resists the twisting load of a hard change of direction, and a FlyteFoam midsole (the lightweight foam platform ASICS introduced in 2016) with GEL under the heel. The Novak builds sit slightly above the standard Court FF 3 in the line and carry the colours Djokovic competes in. This one runs a saturated classic red through the mesh upper, broken by white on the midsole, the stripes and the toe guard.
