An anatomically correct lacing environment that reduces potential for irritation and provides improved comfort and fit.

Stretch material strategically placed on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation.

For stability and comfort. Upper is stitched around a canvas or EVA board and directly attached to the midsole.

Support System A dual density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability, positioned sport specifically.

A dual-density reinforcement which provides torsional stability and biomechanically balanced arch support.

Help provide reinforcement and support to the upper while enhancing breathability.

A silicone based gel placed in the forefoot to attenuate shock in multiple planes and enhance proper foot movement in the toe-off stage of the gait cycle.

ASICS¨ Design Philosophy. Employs linked componentry that enhances the footÕs natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.

Compound containing more natural rubber content than traditional solid rubber, resulting in enhanced traction on court systems.

2 layers of memory foam line the collar and mold to the athleteÕs heel, creating a personalized fit.

Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.

An abrasion and tear resistant synthetic leather for increased upper durability.

Employs 45 degree Solyte lasting material for a soft platform feel.

A lighter weight midsole compound than ASICSÕ standard EVA and SpEVA¨. Also features enhanced cushioning and durability.

Improves bounce back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.

Employs 55 degree SpEVA lasting material for a soft but stable platform feel.

Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.

An outsole made from a special blend of organic and non-organic components, designed to enhance traction even on wet surfaces.

Engineered mesh designed to help the foot breathe and stay cool.

Durable material placed in the forefoot to prevent abrasion due to toe drag.

Unique Natural Foot Shape last which follows the natural shape of the foot for the ultimate in comfort and performance.

Abrasion resistant rubber compound that provides exceptional durability and traction for long-lasting performance on hard surfaces.

Lightweight chassis redirects energy from the heel to the forefoot for ultimate responsiveness.

Advanced heel insert for maximum cushioning.

Comfort Grid Combines outstanding protective benefits for less foot fatigue and more comfort with incredibly responsive features that assure ultimate stability and motion control for enhanced, faster maneuverability. The core of HEAD CXGª is an interlocking coil structure of turned polyethylene, polypropylene and nylon, and saran fibers encapsulated in a resilient polyurethane form. The encapsulated coil fibers are compressed on impact, absorbing shock. As the foot reaches the end of its stride, the heel coil fibers rebound, producing a resilient, spring-like upward force.

An innovative, dynamic Òclimate controlÓ system within the shoe that maintains ultimate breathability by absorbing and releasing excess heat build-up.

Strategically placed between the heel and forefoot area, the HEAD Energy Bridgeª provides torsion stability and increased transfer of power from the heel to the forefoot.

A high-abrasion compound rubber formula specifically designed for the high-stress areas of tennis shoe soles. Provides superior toe drag resistance and hard-wearing performance on any playing surface.

Integrated in the outer forefoot area, HEAD Lateral Controlª is a squared edge of harder rubber that provides optimum lateral stability and enables quick changes in direction. Additionally, the medial forefoot area is rounded specifically to enable extreme slides.

The low-profile design and HEAD Radial Contactª technology ensures a constant point of traction, providing maximum flexibility and maneuverability with optimal stability.

Integrated in the midsole heel area, the HEAD Vi-Podª technology absorbs the energy of impact and distributes it to the entire foot, eliminating vibration and maximizing forward motion.

A revolutionary process creates a microscopic water resistent surface of the shoe. The technology allows for the material to repel water, while at the same time staying breathable.

Revolutionary full length Pebax Mizuno Wave Technology uniformly disperses shock throughout the sole, providing lightweight cushioning and enhanced stability.

Enhanced SP midsole with increased rebound and cushion durability while maintaining lightweight performance.

Shock-absorbing cushioning compound found in the forefoot.

Design technology that relieves the stress the foot naturally places on footwear - eliminating distortion for the perfect fit.

Full-length midsole ventilation reduces head and humidity build-up inside the shoe during performance.

Abrasion-resistant collar lining provides improved durability.

Sensor Point is a suspension system which connects the Wave plate to the ground, thereby enhancing stability and traction.

Dynamotion Grooves in the outsole while offering improved flexibility are strategically designed so that:

Rear-focused stability supports wrap under the midsole edge and extend to the eyestay to provide enhanced medial and lateral support. Provides outstanding stability in the shoe's upper to support the stresses of the side to side movements. Stabilizes the sides of the feet to prevent lateral movement upon landing and moving side to side which transfers more power into the next step.

Utilizes an exclusive blend of EVA and rubber to achieve a responsive cushioning system that provides the player with exceptional court feel Ð better impact absorption, better energy return, lighter weight.

Odor and fungus inhibiting sockliner that provides air flow and permeability, and transports moisture away from the foot which leads to long-lasting cushion comfort.

Utilizes a nano technology lining that transfers moisture away from the skin, keeping your foot cool and dry.
