The dad playing weekly comp or social tennis in running shoes. Not the casual once-a-summer hitter, where the money is wasted.
What it is
The tenth generation of ASICS’ Gel-Resolution, their stability tennis shoe, built for hard court with reinforcement through the toe drag area and gel cushioning in the rearfoot. Amazon sets the price at checkout, and the colourway varies by listing.
Why we picked it
Tennis destroys running shoes because the movement is lateral and running shoes are built to go forwards, which is how people end up with a rolled ankle and a shoe worn through at the toe in a season. The Resolution is the shoe people stay on for years once they have tried it, and it is a genuine upgrade rather than a nice-to-have. Check his size and preferred court surface before ordering, since there is a separate clay version.
