After an extensive amount of research and development ASICS has come up with a new bowling inspired boot. The GEL-Speed Menace works with the foot to reduce the loads experienced by fast bowlers during foot planting. A new forefoot plating system protects and supports the foot during times of stress and exposure to high impact forces, thereby reducing the risk of chronic overuse injuries. This improved impact protection coupled with increased flexibility produces better propulsion during the delivery strides.
Wear tested by world class bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Doug Bollinger, the GEL-Speed Menace maximises in-shoe comfort via the use of an internal strapping system which hugs the foot. Rearfoot and forefoot GEL units provide ample cushioning when combined with a full Solyte midsole further increasing comfort levels.
Increased durability has also been taken into account. The GEL-Speed Menace incorporates a P-GUARD system on the toe box which facilitates increased longevity by protecting the shoe from the wear and tear associated with toe drag. A low cut style upper was developed due to players wanting to move away from the rigid and cumbersome boot styles from the past.
