The GEL-BLADE 8 shoe creates good support for squash and badminton players engaging in multi-directional movements. Practical for diagonal court coverage, this shoe helps you push your body and mind to new boundaries. The upper has been reconstructed to promote a more supportive foothold. It keeps your foot locked-in when making quick transitions. By raising the heel collar height, this shoe offers more stability while allowing your foot to move more freely. We redesigned the outsole with our X GUIDANCE technology for improved diagonal court coverage. This function increases flexibility and allows you to move more easily on the court.
