John, big big fan here. As always great review. I've used this shoe for the last 6 months and did find this to have hurt me a lot in the knee, i was in constant pain after my games, despite wearing knee compression (Age 37, weight 165 lbs, 4.0). For some reason, even being the best shoe out there did not work well for me. Also, this shoe isn't for the wide foot guys. For someone who has stronger legs and narrow foot - its an awesome choice with lots of color options. Thank you as always for a visual and informative treat - the best of youtube !
I bought the Wide version of the Gel Res 8 and to me it's more like a 'Medium+' and not that wide at all. Overall I find the shoe good but not great:- comfort and cushioning are middle of the pack; it has decent support & responsiveness and doesn't feel that heavy when worn; the soles have started to go bald on the inside forefoot edges after maybe 15 hours of court time so I'm not exactly bowled over by that. Not really a great buy for me but I see plenty of owners where I play so seems to be plenty of satisfied users. Shoes are, by definition, very personal and I found better performance for me elsewhere.
Cheers John. I like the quality of Asics, however, their shoes tend to lack flexibility (much like your "rigidity" comment) in the forefoot that makes them feel like ski boots for me. I tried Yonex Sonicage 2's on a whim and fell in love with them immediately. Cushioned, light, and great ankle protection, exactly what I need on court for only $105. Unfortunately they are ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE to find with Covid limitations, so I took a chance on Mizuno Impulses and am crossing my fingers they aren't junk. Thanks again and look forward to reviews of VCore Pro line or CX 200 from Dunlop.
been using these for the last year, practicing or playing 4 or 5 times a week and find them very comfortable. I do replace the insoles Powerstep Pinnacle
Just bought these today. Trying them tomorrow. I have wide feet and these are the only 2E available. It’s still a bit narrow so had to go up half size.
Hi John, I play 4 times per week on clay court and 1 time on hard court and I can only afford one shoes. Should I get the allcourt or the clay version?
Great Review as always...Love ur channel..iam using wilson clash 100 with yonex poly tour pro strung at 50 lbs but still I'm having elbow pain and ball is flying long if I open up slightly..so can I leave the mains with same string and strung crosses with luxilon alu power 16g with 54 lbs or should I need to choose any multi ? What is ur suggestion?
@@peterochester2320 how does the warranty work if you buy from ASICS site? Do you still need the receipt? I heard you need to fill out online form with photo of shoes
@@jonathanchen1026 I remember requesting an authorization then dropping off at a ups location (Gel Challengers that didn't feel right). Didn't need to print out anything.
I wonder where is this guy now i miss his videos and it is an underrated channel it had the most clean and professionalism videos

@@rich.e Its a highly overrated shoe. Its imperfect for hard courts as it is not as "spongy" and lacks "Foam".

Love the quality on these videos. Get it!
Big fan of what you're doing here, John.
Great review and video! Hope you’re able to release similar content for the 2021 Adidas Barricade and Nike Vapor Pro

Hi sir john. Are you a regular 10.5us? If so, how did this shoe fit you?

Use multi or gut. String is just a very small portion for spin. Physics tells us the swing path and angle determines the spin
For those who play equally in hard and clay courts, which version is better? Clay or regular?
Hi, any comments about the Yonex power cushion Fusionrev 4? , do you know if they are more flexibles ?
Hello, can i use this model for running? Thank you
Pbly best tennis shoes I've ever had for hardcourts. Comfortable, light enough, superdurable, stable, total package. Not hot either for me.
Do you know if thet Works on clay
You switch to blade v8 ? Which pattern ?
I do love the Gel Res 8s, but where can you find them anymore?
I get mine from Asics website. Best place esp if you want clay soles and better color selection. No discount but that's typical today.
