Asics
One of the most successful Asics tennis products in company history and one of the most popular footwear designs in the sport is getting an upgrade. Asics announces the release of the Gel-Resolution X tennis shoe on Jan. 10, the 10th iteration of a model with an updated focus on the shoe’s hallmark support and comfort.
The Gel-Resolution X features a new two-piece midsole structure, an updated Dynawall stability technology and a fresh approach to lacing.
“The comfort and support in this new model are game changers,” says Beatriz Haddad Maia, World No. 17. “I feel more confidence in my movements, and that confidence makes all the difference on the court. In tennis, your feet are everything; they’re your foundation.”

The new midsole features the brand’s Flytefoam in the forefoot and FF Blast Plus Eco in the heel. Both pair with the P-Gel cushioning technology. The heel cushioning approach is new for the update, aimed to provide “cloudlike cushioning,” the brand says about a shoe designed for comfort and stability for baseline players.
FF Blast Plus Eco first debuted in the brand’s performance running product. It was reengineered for tennis and placed under the heel to improve comfort. Made with 24% bio-based content, Asics adds some sustainability to its cushioning.
