Why Should You Buy the ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12?

Choose the ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12 if you are a recreational, developing, intermediate or regular club player who values cushioning and stability alongside flexible court movement.

Designed Around Badminton Footwork
Badminton footwork is very different from ordinary walking or straight-line running. During a rally, you may move forward for a net shot, recover towards the centre, move laterally for a drive and then push backwards for an overhead shot – all within a matter of seconds.
The GEL-ROCKET 12 is designed for this type of multi-directional court movement. Its combination of cushioning, flexibility and supportive construction helps provide a balanced platform as you move around the court.
How to Measure Your Foot for the Correct ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12 Size
Correct sizing is important in badminton because the foot needs to remain secure during sudden stops and lateral movement while still having enough room for natural toe movement.
- Put on the socks you normally wear for badminton.
- Place a sheet of paper on a hard floor with one edge directly against a wall.
- Stand naturally on the paper with your heel gently touching the wall.
- Keep your body weight naturally distributed while taking the measurement.
- Mark the position of the tip of your longest toe.
- Measure the distance from the heel/wall position to the toe mark in centimetres (cm).
- Repeat for the other foot and use the larger foot measurement when comparing your measurement with the applicable ASICS size chart.
How Should the ASICS GEL-ROCKET 12 Fit?
The shoe should feel secure around the heel and midfoot without creating uncomfortable pressure. Your toes should have enough space to sit naturally and should not remain firmly pressed against the front of the shoe. When you move sideways or stop suddenly, your foot should not slide excessively inside the shoe. A secure but comfortable fit helps provide better confidence during fast badminton movement.
How to Care for Your GEL-ROCKET 12
- Use the shoes mainly on suitable indoor court surfaces.
- Wipe dust and dirt from the outsole after playing.
- Allow damp shoes to dry naturally in a ventilated area.
- Avoid direct high heat when drying the shoes.
- Avoid storing the shoes while they are wet or damp.
- Check the outsole periodically for excessive wear, especially if you play frequently.
