Asics Gel Blade 7

The Asics Gel Blade 7 is an indoor court shoe and is the successor to the Asics Gel Blade 6, which is popular in squash and was used by several squash pros including Nour El Sherbini, Nicol David, England’s Josh Masters, and several more.

Versions: Men | Women

Here’s the marketing blather from Asics. Interestingly, they actually name squash as one of the sports this shoe is designed for, in addition to badminton. That’s rare — squash players are usually forced to pick shoes marketed towards other court sports.

Cover the ground in style and comfort with the men’s GEL-BLADE™ 7 squash and badminton shoe by ASICS, featuring an EVA midsole for bounce and cushioning. The mesh insole and ORTHOLITE™ sockliner allow the foot to breathe as things heat up, while the shoe’s TRUSSTIC SYSTEM® technology gives you the stability and guidance you need to stay on top. The GEL-BLADE™ 7 shoe’s standard width accommodates a wide range of foot sizes, while the removable sockliner can be replaced with orthotics for those requiring further arch support. The AHARPLUS™ outsole is all about protection, lending a hardwearing quality to the design and minimising scuffs as you slide across the court. The GEL® technology to the rear provides comfort, cushioning your feet no matter how long you play.

Reviews

Richard Holland left this review in the comments. Please leave feedback below if you have tried this shoe.

Just received these today. In terms of fit and feel, very similar to the gel blade 6. I had a pair of those and liked the feel but wore a hole in the toe guard within 3 weeks. Asics claimed it was normal wear and tear but PDH gave me a store credit. The toe guard on these looks more sturdy so hope these will last better. The open mesh vent looks like it will be nice and breathable, but the 6 was so light that was not much of a problem. The only other thing is that I am a UK 10 in every Asics shoe I try, but as also with the 6, this feels a tiny bit too long. Have the 9.5 on order, will see if that is too small, just for peace of mind.

    I loved my Gel Blade 4s, but I’ve had a ton of problems with the the sole peeling at the ripple design of the newer models. I had it happen after a couple months on 1 pair of Gel Blade 6s and 2 pairs of Gel Blade 7s. Luckily Asics warranty is amazing and they kept sending me new ones, but I wouldn’t recommend buying them as long as they have that flawed ripple design.

    The best shoes from Asics thus far. Light, comfortable, durable, nice looking. Perfect for squash, table tennis, gym/cross fit. Not ideal for badminton or jogging.

    upgraded from Asics Gel Rocket 8 to these, and I’m very happy with them. I plumped for the Speed Red ones, and they look great. I’ve had trouble with my ankles in the past, so I’m using them in conjunction with Sorbothane Full Strike insoles and I’ve had no problem at all. Good grip and and less roll than my old ones. £80 from Decathlon.

        Just got the 9.5 UK and it is a better fit in this shoe for me. It is slightly bigger than my old pair of fastball 3s in a 10 UK and blast FF that I was trying for comparison also in a 10 UK. Frustrating that there is so little consistency in size even within companies, given that most purchases are online these days and that costs postage in returns (in the UK at least).

      I just ordered these from Europe for table tennis. The design and construction coupled with breathability and comfort appear to be exactly what I want. Grip seems really well designed as well. They are on the way…will test them in 7 days or so.
