ASICS GEL-Strike Rate

Whether you are bowling, batting, fielding or training, all bases are covered with this stylish ASICS number.

The ASICS GEL-Strike Rate is the perfect all-round cricket shoe. Whether you are bowling, batting, fielding or training, all bases are covered with this stylish ASICS number. The major problem with footwear, especially in sport, is the lack of versatility. It can be an expensive business for fast bowlers when bowling boots, cricket shoes and indoor trainers are all on the shopping list, but ASICS have developed a single multi-purpose shoe which is both easy on the eye and the wallet! With specifically designed cricket spiked there is the option of using blanks for indoor and astroturf training, and the grip is in no way compromised. The shoe is extremely flexible and the synthetic leather makes it one of the most comfortable and breathable on the market. With speed being of the essence, fast bowlers are plagued with various injury concerns, but the rearfoot and forefoot GEL Cushioning System are designed to ease any discomfort by reducing the shock during impact and toe off phases - a critical and noticeable benefit. England international James Anderson knows all about the rigours of fast bowling and if the GEL-Strike Rate is his boot of choice, you know it's the real deal. Another England international who endorses the GEL-Strike Rate is batsman Owais Shah: "In cricket you always need to be ready to support your team whether you're batting or out in the field - and to do this you need a shoe that can handle the different roles on the field. I find that the new pin system within the GEL-Strike Rate is far more responsive than any other cricket shoe I have used in the past," he said. Looking for the perfect all-round cricket shoe for the new season? Try the innovative, comfortable and stylish ASICS GEL-Strike Rate - you'll be bowled over!
