Asics is the world leader in sports footwear, bringing decades of running, tennis, and indoor-sport expertise to the padel court. Founded in 1949, the Japanese brand has become a fixture on courts everywhere, trusted by amateurs and professionals alike, with sponsored players including Mike Yanguas and Coki Nieto.
Asics is a footwear specialist within padel — this collection covers Asics padel shoes only, organized by playing style, level, and fit.
New: 2026 Collection
The 2026 lineup is led by two flagship models built for different priorities. The Gel-Resolution X is the top stability and support option, featuring an extended Dynawall system that wraps around the heel to keep the foot centered during high-torque lateral stops, paired with FlyteFoam Blast+ cushioning for a ride that stays comfortable rather than stiff. For players who prioritize speed, the new Sonicsmash FF is Asics’ big bet for offensive players, focused on agility, stability, and comfort, designed to accompany fast, attacking movement around the court. The wider range also includes the Gel Challenger 15, aimed at intermediate-to-advanced players including a dedicated women’s fit. Across the 2026 range, Asics has focused on improved cushioning and stability — key for the intensity and frequent direction changes padel demands — along with refined outsole compounds for better grip and durability on court.

Why Asics Shoes
As the world’s leading running-shoe manufacturer, Asics brings the same biomechanical research used in marathon shoes into short, explosive court movements — a level of shoe-specific science most padel brands don’t have in-house.
Care Tips
Air out shoes after every session, remove sand or dust from the outsole, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and check tread wear regularly since footwear plays a direct role in injury prevention.
