Asics Novak FF 3 Tennis Shoes

White/Electric Red

Anima Sana In Corpore Sano. “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.” More than a motto, the words that make up the ASICS name are the inspiration for every product they create.

In tennis terms, that means helping players move around the court more quickly, more easily, and more comfortably, which is exactly what they’ve been doing since the release of their first tennis shoe, the Tiger A Type, way back in 1952.

It’s also why, when you look at their modern range, you’ll see some models with numbered revisions well into double figures. That’s the ethos in action. Constant refinement, reinvention, and innovation makes sure you’re always ahead of the game, in every sense.

Take the GEL-CHALLENGER, for example. A stalwart of the court for decades, it’s built for long-lasting stability, using durable materials and featuring extra support to keep you balanced during lateral moves.

You’ll also notice the GEL prefix on many of their shoes. First introduced on ASICS running trainers in the 80s, the proprietary cushioning tech has huge crossover value for tennis, absorbing the repeated impact forces that come with serving, sprinting, and changing direction. Over time, it helps you stay fresher for longer, vital for those gruelling three- and five-set matches.

There’s no doubt about it: ASICS make some of the best tennis shoes around. After all, if Novak Djokovic chooses to wear them, they must be good. The record-breaking Serb has his signature COURT FF, which boasts lightweight FlyteFoam for extra spring, while Gael Monfils wears the sturdy GEL-RESOLUTION.

All court tennis shoes are designed to perform across a variety of court surfaces, making them versatile footwear options for tennis players. These shoes feature an outsole with a universal tread pattern to provide the right balance of grip and give on both hard and clay courts, and even grass. Additionally, they often have reinforced toe caps for added durability, considering the high-wear nature of tennis. Cushioning and stability are prioritised to support swift lateral movements and quick pivots. All court tennis shoes are ideal for players who play on different surfaces or for those who prefer a multi-purpose tennis shoe.

Novak Djokovic, born in Serbia in 1987, is regarded as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. Known for his intense physicality, flexibility, and exceptional return game, Djokovic has dominated men's tennis since the late 2000s. He has achieved multiple Grand Slam victories, and in 2016, became the third man in history to hold all four major titles at once, a testament to his consistent excellence. His extraordinary defensive abilities, combined with his precise and powerful groundstrokes, have earned him a distinguished place among the "Big Four" of men's tennis.
