New ASICS Progressive squash shoe 2013



¨Reason for the headline is that I never got as many hits on a blog post vie Google as when I posted about the new ASICS Progressive squash shoe last time.....soooo

But fear not, my fellow googling friends...

I did actually just have a meeting with the great crew at ASICS and Robert van Til last week for further work and feedback on the Gel Progressive squash shoe for the next model.

The Asics Gel Progressive 2012 is by far the best squash shoe I personally have ever worn...

It was hard to find constructive remarks for further improvement in an already superior squash shoe, but together with advice from other squash professionals using this shoe, we put down some good notes how to improve the functionality and durability of the shoe for the next model.

If anyone have further comments about the shoe, you can post a comment here or on my facebook and I will be sure to forward it to the mega brains of ASICS.

  3. hey,
    thanks for replying my question..
    i'm actually in Singapore..
    i was thinking of buying this one:
    http://www.directsportseshop.co.uk/Product.aspx?Category=DS_Badminton&Dept=mens-badminton-squash-shoes&Section=asics-badminton-squash-shoes&ProductID=7974&Name=Asics%20Gel%20Progressive%20Mens%20(Red-Black)%20Court%20Shoes%20&FromSearchPage=No#.UFB4Bo0gdMp

    but I'm not too sure whether this model is the same like the one you're wearing in that photo...
    it looks different thou, and fyi, i've been searching everywhere (on the web) and couldn't find the green-color asics shoes like the one you're wearing.

    so, if get it correctly, this green-color asics shoes will only be launched summer 2013?

    Thanks!

  4. I am sorry for the "short" reply. I meant that the shoe were in stores summer 2012 and are now available. The colors are the red ones you saw, green ones like the ones I have, and also a more light green/blue color.

    The ones I am wearing are the same as the ones you sent me the link to over. My contact is on holidays at the moment so he can contact his contacts when he gets back. Then I might be able to get an overview of suppliers in your area.

    Do you reside in Singapore? It is weird you can not find other colours on the internet.

    Do you like the design then? I call this the terminator" look. More rough, instead of the option, choosing for a more smooth look. You will not be disappointed with it. I will get back to you with where you can buy it if you do not purchase it before I get back to you.

    Good luck!

  5. hey,

    I really-really appreciate your "longer" reply.. Thank you :-)

    yes, I reside in Singapore...
    actually, there are at least 2 big asics shop in Singapore... but unfortunately, not all models of asics are available here...
    and as far as I remember, the last time I visited the shop, asics progressive definitely not available...

    that's the reason why I'm planning to buy it from UK (via the link I mentioned earlier on) and ship it to Singapore.

    and yeah, the design look awesome... love it to the max! and that green color really look special....

    Sure, I will wait the update from you..

    Thank you so much once again! :-)

    Regards,

    1. Hey boys. Sorry for the delay, but we are awaiting reply from our Asian contact. I am not sure if they are sold in Australia to be honest. I will come back to both of you as soon as I know. Thanks for your patience.

    2. I am sorry to inform that it is a Europe exclusive". Which means it is only sold in Europe as far as I know. Which means that you will have to order it online. Sorry for the time it took, but I did not receive an answer until today. Good luck still, and if you do purchase it...enjoy it! It's good!!
