Asics Gel-Upcourt 3

The Asics Upcourt 3 is built for action. It is constructed with a breathable upper so that the foot doesn’t get too hot while overlays keep the foot securely locked in. The midsole is cushioned for impact reduction. It is also designed to set the heel higher than the forefoot so that the foot is always ready to take the next step.

Another Asics volleyball to consider is the Gel Rocket 9. This trainer has a forefoot Gel element that adds cushioning under the ball of the foot. Like the Upcourt 3, the Gel Rocket 9 features a herringbone tread pattern for traction and a pivot point that reduces stress on the knee during turns. The upper of both models are built quite the same with a combination of mesh and synthetic materials for breathability, comfort, and foothold.
