Asics Gel Rocket 7

14 Comments

Here’s the Asics Gel Rocket 7. Asics Gel Rockets are relatively low-priced and usually have pretty cool styles, making them one of the most popular squash shoes around.

I tested out this shoe and my video review is here:

This shoe comes in lots of different color schemes, some of which are no longer available. Please see below for the different variations. Where possible, I’ve provided affiliate links. If you buy through one of these affiliate links, I will receive a small commission — thanks!

The weight of these shoes is 378 grams per shoe (based on a men’s US size 11.5 pair that I own).

The prior version of this shoe was the Asics Gel Rocket 6. The successor to this shoe is the Asics Gel Rocket 8.

Versions: Men | Women

Men

I spotted this green and black one in October 2016, but it’s only listed in one store and in one size. Not sure what the deal is with this one. Secret shoe!

    Can I ask if ASICS Gel Rocket 7’s insole is removable? I would like to replace with orthodontic insole.

    Thanks.

      Hi Jo, I have a pair here. The insole is glued down, but it looks like it can be peeled up and removed. I was able to peel it off partway, though I didn’t pull it all the way up because I didn’t want to risk wrecking them. In a couple places, bits of the insole came off (remained stuck to the bottom of the shoe) as I peeled it back, but I suspect this is because I have been using these shoes for a while and all the pounding has probably fused them together, especially at the heel where I tried to unpeel them. I can’t be 100% sure but my guess is you’ll be able to remove it no problem.

    I’ve been wearing Rockets since around new year. I agree they do all you need at a pretty low price and look OK as well. I previously wore Blasts which although more cushioned felt significantly heavier. I still have a pair of Upcourts from the Xmas sales in the cupboard…

    Just picked these up this week—the white/blue/lime version. I’m really enjoying them. They fit very well, have great cushioning and are light. Very happy that I got to pick them up for only AUD 99 which is a steal I reckon.

    There’s two additional colors available in the Europe regions.

    White alternative with yellow instead of silver colors – http://www.pdhsports.com/imgs/products/uk/950_constW/SMAC6028~rocket-7-wfyb_P1.jpg

    I have just bought these and agree with Mike – very light and great on court. Also exceptional value for money at only £50.

    Highly Recommended.

    I used the previous version of this model and for some reason these shoes made me fall and almost gave me a sprained ankle on more than one occasion. I know it wasn’t normal for me to fall; I played squash occasionally as a kid (1995-2001) and competitively since 2009 onwards and this had never happened to me until I got those shoes. I know it may sound biased but I assure you as soon as I changed to the asics gel blade 4 the problem was solved. Has anyone else experienced this problem with the asics rockets?

    Bought these shoes after using Asics Blast 5 and Asics Domain 2 for a couple years each. The Blast by far felt the heaviest (I think its ~13.5 oz). The Domain I think is ~12.4oz and this Rocket is ~11.5oz (Rocket 6s were ~10.5oz). I have been playing it for a few weeks and the cushioning is fine although I never had an issue with my knees so I am not sure how others would take it.

    It definitely feels light and is a bit more flexible than the Domain. As with all Asics, it is a bit narrow and wish they introduced a “Wide Feet” option for their court shoes. No issue with heat, friction, breathability so far.

    These are always an affordable, high quality shoe for squash. Despite being in the lower end of the Asics price range, they are durable and fit the foot well. Not sure what the extra bucks get you to buy more expensive Asics shoes. Anyone done a comparison on the Rockets vs. other Asics, or maybe vs. Salmings, the new darling of the PSA tour guys?

      Hi Brock, Stefan had a great, detailed comment about this over here. Basically, the low end shoes are good but you get more cushioning with the higher end shoes.

        Good comment from Stefan. I lean towards less cushioning personally, to get more floor feel, especially in the forefoot. That said, my knees are holding up so far (knock wood!) and I get the lateral support I want from the Rockets, although I haven’t tried other Asics models. Sometimes you stick with the devil you know.
