From the Manufacturer

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

I've gone through a few Gel-Rocket 3's and loved them. It was time to get another pair, but the 3's were discontinued so I bought the 4's. I can say these have not disappointed me so far. I use these for playing squash and volleyball and they are comfortable and light weight. They grip the floor well and I hope these last a long time like the 3's that I have owned. For 42 dollars, I feel it a great quality shoe at a great price. Because others have mentioned a size issue, my 4's fit the normal shoe size I wear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shock Absorptive Shoes, June 9, 2010

I used these shoes to train/play competitive badminton. These shoes are very good at absorbing impact from jumps. I jump smash very often and these help with the landing. They are also fairly breathable. Pay attention to the size though, it's slightly larger (~ half size) than regular badminton shoes. The only con about these is their high ankles. They make it hard to move laterally on the court. Also, if you like wearing short socks, they are going to rub against your ankles and make them uncomfortable. I found that additional insoles would help this problem.

Never having bought shoes online I was unsure as what to expect. My son needed them quickly for JV volleyball team tryouts and practice. They arrived within the time frame given. He really likes them. The shoes looks good and fit well. They are comfortable and have held up very well for the past month under heavy use.
