Tennis shoes are usually sold on what they do when a player pushes off. ASICS built the ninth GEL-Resolution around what happens when the player stops.
Two structures do that work. DYNAWALL, the reinforced midsole sidewall introduced a generation earlier to resist the foot rolling over the edge in lateral movement, was extended and carried back into the heel, so the shoe holds its shape when a wide ball forces a hard plant. DYNAWRAP, the forefoot hold, was redesigned to reduce how much the upper deflects when the foot loads sideways at speed. Underneath, the outsole was lengthened so more rubber meets the court on landing.
ASICS’ own sports science testing put the result at 4.4 per cent more dynamic braking force than the GEL-Resolution 8. The shoe reached men’s and women’s ranges from January 2023, aimed squarely at the baseline player who wants support over lightness.
This pair keeps the palette out of the way entirely: white upper, white sole, pure silver picking out the logo and sidewall lettering.
