"Men's ASICS® GEL-DEDICATE 9: The GEL-DEDICATE™ 9 is a men's tennis shoe from ASICS that keeps things clean and comfortable without sacrificing the stability you need on the court. It's a solid choice for recreational and club players who want a reliable shoe that feels good from the first time you lace it up - no break-in period required.The GEL™ technology in the midsole absorbs shock with each step, so your feet stay comfortable through long matches and extended court sessions. Durable synthetic leather overlays give the upper structure and help the shoe hold up over time. The full-length outsole increases your contact area with the court, which helps with both traction and stability when you're moving side to side. ASICS also built in TRUSSTIC™ technology to reinforce the midfoot, carrying over the stability feel the brand is known for. If you tend to size up in athletic footwear, note that this shoe is recommended to fit up half a size.Why Our Fit Experts Love This Shoe""I really like recommending the GEL-DEDICATE 9 to players who just want a comfortable, no-fuss court shoe.
