No, these shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. Their non-marking outsole is optimized for indoor surfaces and may not provide adequate grip or durability for outdoor use or running on asphalt.
To clean, gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush to clean the outsole and remove any debris. Allow them to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.

ASICS sizing is generally consistent. However, foot shapes vary, so it's always recommended to try them on to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. This specific variant is a UK 5.5.
A non-marking outsole is made from a rubber compound that provides excellent traction on indoor court surfaces without leaving scuff marks or streaks on the floor, preserving the court's condition.
Ensure the court surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Check the shoe's outsole for any embedded dirt or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to restore grip.
Verify you have the correct shoe size and width. Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. Consider wearing different socks or allowing a brief break-in period for the shoes to adapt to your feet.
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for light activities or shorter periods initially to allow the materials to soften and conform to your foot.
After each use, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out completely. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
The ASICS Gel-Rocket 12 requires no special setup. Simply unbox the shoes and lace them up. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug yet comfortable fit. For optimal performance, allow for a brief break-in period during light activities before full intensity use.
