The Japanese sporting goods manufacturer Asics is launching the SKY ELITE™ FF 4 indoor shoe. It was developed to provide more energy for moving the body and mind.
The SKY ELITE™ FF 4 indoor shoe is designed with advanced technology to ensure players experience soft, responsive cushioning and a supportive fit. This provides increased support for bounce and absorbs shock. The SKY ELITE™ FF 4 supports higher vertical jumps and confident movements, giving players the support they need to perform at their best.
Responsive Launch: FF BLAST™ MAX technology provides an energized and cushioned feel underfoot.
FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning is integrated throughout the midsole. It creates a soft yet highly responsive feel underfoot. Players feel its impact during energetic jumps and landings. Thick cushioning construction helps absorb shock. At the same time, it provides an energetic rebound to support jumps and repeated take-offs in indoor sports.
Designed for More Powerful Jumps: RISETRUSS™ technology is strategically positioned to increase support and produce greater bounce for higher jump height.
By creating a strategic gap and reinforcing the midsole from forefoot to midfoot, RISETRUSS™ technology compresses on landing. This allows for more effective performance of the cushioning. This feature improves cushioning performance. At the same time, it maintains the structural stability required for more powerful jumps. It provides the extra support needed for powerful jumps and quick turns.
Adaptive Fit: DYNALACING™ technology provides an adaptive fit that locks the foot in place to support safer, more powerful jumps.
The shoe is designed to firmly enclose the forefoot during dynamic movements. This supports the shoe’s natural movement with the foot. This adaptive fixation balances strength and control. It supports players with efficient power transfer when taking off and better stability during high-impact landings. Together, these qualities provide a stable, connected feeling. This means every athlete can perform with confidence and support during intense games.
Alessandro Michieletto, Asics athlete and professional volleyball player, said:
“In my position, bounce is everything, but a stable landing is just as important. The SKY ELITE™ FF 4 indoor shoe gives me a boost in my jump height while providing a soft and stable landing. This helps me stay energized and stable throughout the game. I also love the energetic pink color, it fills me with energy and confidence on the field.”
Joanna Wolosz, Asics athlete and professional volleyball player, said:
“As a setter, I am constantly jumping to direct the game, so a snug and comfortable fit is essential. The SKY ELITE™ FF 4 indoor shoe features an excellent forefoot wrap that keeps my foot locked and stable during various movements. This excellent feel, combined with great cushioning, gives me confidence and allows me to maintain my best performance during intense games.”
Yating Lin Girtz, Global Product Manager at Asics, said:
“The primary focus in the design of the SKY ELITE™ FF 4 indoor shoe is to help indoor athletes jump with more power and move more confidently. Combining responsive cushioning, targeted midfoot support and a firm forefoot wrap, the shoe helps athletes generate powerful height and create smooth transitions between powerful take-offs and high-impact landings during play. We at Asics We believe that when you move your body, you move your mind. We are excited to see players move on the field with confidence and energy, wearing the SKY ELITE ™ FF 4 indoor shoe and feeling elated.”
