ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker - White - 5 UK

While durable, the ASICS Upcourt 6 GS Sneaker is primarily designed for indoor court sports. Using them extensively on abrasive outdoor surfaces may reduce their longevity and affect performance due to the specific outsole compound optimized for indoor courts.

Gently wipe the mesh and synthetic areas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Use a brush for the soles. Air dry them completely at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

These sneakers are ideal for indoor court sports such as volleyball, badminton, squash, handball, and other similar activities where lateral support, agility, and good grip on indoor surfaces are essential.

'GS' typically stands for 'Grade School,' indicating that these shoes are sized and designed for children in the elementary to middle school age range, providing appropriate fit and support for young athletes.

This innovative paste dyeing process significantly reduces the amount of water used during manufacturing by approximately 33%. While it directly benefits the environment, it also reflects ASICS' commitment to responsible production and potentially offers a more eco-conscious product choice for consumers.

The Upcourt 6 GS provides foundational support necessary for the quick lateral movements common in court sports. Its low-cut design offers freedom of movement while the overall construction helps secure the foot. For specific or enhanced ankle stability needs, consult with a professional and consider additional support if recommended.

First, ensure you have the correct size for your child. Allow for a short break-in period during light activity. Also, check the thickness of the socks being worn; thinner athletic socks might improve comfort. If discomfort persists, consult a professional for a fitting.

The primary cause is usually dirt or dust on the sole or court. Regularly clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove debris. Ensure the court surface itself is clean and dry. If the soles appear excessively worn, it might be time for a replacement.

While these areas are reinforced for durability, excessive dragging or misuse can still cause wear. Ensure the shoes are primarily used for their intended indoor court activities. Regular cleaning and proper storage can also help maintain material integrity.
