ASICS Shoes?

[rday22]

I attended a college game yesterday where 2 of the 3 officials were wearing all-black ASICS shoes. I need a new pair of shoes, and love ASICS, so would like to try them. But, I wasn't able to find them online anywhere. Does anyone know where I could find them?

Finish line, asics site. Gel kayano 23 not bad shoe. Gel cumulus 18 good but you need to paint them. U might find some quantum 360s.

GT-1000-5 is on Amazon. All black. I think mine were $89. Probably my favorite shoes I've worn. The Reebok Zigs are the only other ones that come close. I'll get another pair before next year and rotate them.

I'm not going to be much help, but I got my Asics online and paid around $80 for them before this season. They've been good shoes so far, they are wider than your average shoe, which I like, but not quite as light as I had hoped. I do like them better than my zigs though.

I got a pair of Asics Kayano Gel shoes for running last summer, as I needed a more supportive shoe with flat feet and moderate/severe overpronation. They were great - I just hate running! So I tried them out for basketball and they were WONDERFUL. My feet don't hurt too much anymore and my ankles/knees are much less sore. I retired my Zigs for them, in fact.

They're not entirely black, as they have a dark grey/silver outline on the stripes. But close enough for me. One varsity official this year said I should get all black shoes, but I'd rather have no pain any day.

Glad you are pain-free in your nice ref shoes!---but have you thought about just coloring that grey stripe with a black sharpie?

The GT-1000 is the best shoe I've worn for reffing. Get them every year. I have way too many used black shoes in my closet................

You should try these. They work really well - and they're totally black. Plus - some of the hot moms will come over to you to ask where they can get a pair.

I went directly to the Asics website. GT-1000 is the model number. I get the same ones every year. They are very comfortable and they haven't let me down yet. Durable as well. I get new ones every year because I put a lot of miles on them. You can find them on Amazon for $90. $100 at asics website.

The Gel Kayano is very nice too. About $150. They have a design that is a little more wild with a tiny bit of wit and grey mixed in. I have seen both worn at the high school level.
