Shoes

Which ASICS padel shoe is right for you?

ASICS doesn't currently make padel rackets, so this page covers its padel shoes. The range runs from the Gel-Resolution X Padel and SonicSmash FF at the top, through the Gel-Challenger 15 Padel, to the cheaper Game FF Padel and Gel-Dedicate 9 Padel. Most models come in men's and women's versions.

Clothing

What else does ASICS make?

Clothing

ASICS doesn't make padel bags that our partner shops stock, but it does make padel clothing, including a Mike Yanguas edition of its Padel Court T-shirt.

ASICS takes its name from a Latin phrase, a sound mind in a sound body.
