Asics Contend 8 PS Junior Running Shoes
The Contend 8 PS (Pre-School) is a shoe designed for young feet. Each shoe in the collection features a hook and loop fastening system that helps keep feet stabilised. Details like the toe cap, teo rubber stitching and solid rubber outsole increase durability and lengthen the shoe's lifespan. Additionally ASICS' Cub Match sockliner is printed with a tiger caricature that helps kids identify the right and left shoe.
Engineered Mesh Upper
Constructed using an engineered mesh upper, the ASICS Contend 8 Running Shoes encase each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. This aids moisture management by wicking sweat and excess moisture as it's produced and then transferring it to the outer layers where it can be easily evaporated, keeping your little ones' feet cool, dry and comfortable at all times. The mesh upper creates a perfect microclimate for their feet to thrive in. As well as this, overlays work with the lacing system with hook and loop strap to lock down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so they can go further for longer in complete comfort. Completing the upper is a soft heel collar that sits comfortably against the skin to reduce the risks of chafing and irritation.
Amplifoam MidsoleThe midsole of the ASICS Contend 8 Running Shoes features comfortable, flexible and durable Amplifoam technology. This midsole compound uses classic EVA and a 45-degree density to ensure comfortable cushioning, enhanced durability and more flexibility. The midsole material is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, providing better flexibility, comfort, and platform adaptability ideal for natural running. Lightweight and resilient, AmpliFoam spares your kids' joints as they strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Completing the midsole is a sockliner that provides added underfoot cushioning as well as enhanced breathability. The sockliner allows cool air to flow throughout the midsole to ensure their feet remain fresher for longer. A tiger graphic also features on the sockliner to help kids to recognise the left shoe from the right shoe.
Durable Rubber OutsoleDeveloped using a durable rubber outsole, the ASICS Contend 8 Running Shoes ensure improved grip in varied conditions. The rubber outsole is able to form a solid bond with the ground beneath it to ensure traction and grip on road surfaces. Having durability and traction enables your child to run with complete confidence that their shoes will keep them grounded at all times. As well as this, the rubber outsole is highly durable to ensure long-lasting wear. The durable nature of the rubber will not wear down easily so your little one can go further for longer with complete confidence. The outsole extends to the toe cap, complete with toe rubber stitching, for improved durability in this area.
