Irvine, CA (November 4, 2009) - ASICS® America Corporation is proud to announce the men’s and women’s version of the GEL-Resolution™ 2 received the highest overall rating of the nine models reviewed in the November/December 2009 issue of Tennis Magazine.
The GEL-Resolution 2 received an 8.4 score out of a possible 10, and earned near-perfect marks for both stability and arch support. The shoes were also scored on cushioning, weight, ventilation, break-in time and overall satisfaction.
The magazine described the style as: "the ultimate shoe for an advanced player with sore feet and those who appreciate comfort right out of the box since the shoe has virtually no break-in time."
The article also points out the shoe has "outstanding support" with features including the Biomorphic Fit® Upper and Personal Heel Fit (PHF®) that helps mold to the athlete’s foot creating a personalized fit with snug heel support. The GEL-Resolution 2 has a Solyte® Midsole to enhance cushioning, a GEL® Cushioning System to attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phase and a PGuard™ Toe Protector for durability.
"We are thrilled with the #1 ranking," says Matt Donnelly, ASICS Product Manager for Team Sports. "Fit and function are always our first priorities at ASICS and it’s great to be recognized for this."
The ASICS GEL-Resolution 2, which retails for $115, is available in two color ways (White/Rain/Sun and Blue Aster/Lightning/Black) for men and one color (White/Cargo/Abyss) for women.
