ASICS Lethal Flash DS Soccer Shoe

What if you are more of a traditionalist when it comes to Soccer Gear? Sure, the ASICS Soccer Cleats line has nice technical specs, but maybe these new stud designs aren't your thing. Well, there is also an option for those who like more traditional Soccer Shoes while still giving you the soccer cleat safety features found in ASICS 10mm Heel Gradient design. For those on the market for some Men's Soccer Cleats with a familiar feel, I give you the ASICS Lethal Flash DS Soccer Shoe.

This is an update to ASICS popular boot, and features a high grade synthetic upper that is comfortable and very lightweight, while the synthetic leather vamp has an incredible touch on the ball.

These soccer shoes have the traditional round stud shape, so you'll be familiar with the feel very quickly. It is nice to know what kind of performance you can expect when you lace up. This update has the same injected Polyurethane cleat plate that has always made the Lethal DS so popular, but now you have the added bonus of the 10mm Heel Gradient which helps to shift your body mass forward and reduces strain on the lower limbs. This makes the Lethal Flash DS a great mix of traditional feel with high-tech benefits.

ASICS Lethal Stats Soccer Shoe

My last few posts about ASICS Soccer Cleats have focused mostly on the technical aspects of this Soccer Gear, especially the 10 Millimeter Heel Gradient their new line of Soccer Shoes are known for. And while safety and injury prevention are important, when it comes down to it performance is what many are looking for in their Men's Soccer Cleats. Well, all of the shoes in this line have what it takes when put through their paces on the field, but for now let's just focus on one; the ASICS Lethal Stats Soccer Shoe.

This newest introduction to the performance and speed category of soccer cleats from ASICS is perfect for players looking for a lightweight boot with a high grip outsole. Fast reaction is key in the design as the stud pattern resembles the ASICS Tigreor IT sole. There are more studs giving you more contact area and therefore more grip, but they are of a smaller size allowing for fast release when you change direction. The result is an incredibly responsive boot!

The Kangaroo Leather on the vamp provides a soft fit and feel on the ball, while elsewhere, Rhyno-Skin synthetic leather maintains support to stabilize your foot. Overall this shoe is made for speed and performance, the technical aspects and safety features built into the design on top of that are an added but undeniable bonus!

ASICS Lethal Stats SK Soccer Shoe

Some say the Soccer Shoes in the ASICS Soccer Cleats line are more traditional looking and on the plain side when it comes to appearance. But that isn't true for all of them. Sometimes you just want a little more style in the look of your Men's Soccer Cleats, and ASICS stepped up to fill that desire. Meet the flashy cousin of the ASICS Lethal Stats Soccer Cleat, may I introduce to you the ASICS Lethal Stats SK Soccer Shoe.

Own some Soccer Gear that will make people RED with envy (I had to say it.) Unlike the regular Lethal Stats which use Kangaroo Leather, the SK uses a high grade, lightweight microfiber synthetic leather that gives it that WOW factor.

Like the ASICS Tigreor Soccer Cleat, the Lethal Stats SK features a non-removable stud pattern that is designed to meet the unique lateral and medial grip requirements for players. In short, the cleat's design allow for excellent grip and release when you need to change direction fast.

Not to mention this soccer shoe is another in the ASICS line that features the ASICS 10mm Heel Gradient to reduce strain on your lower limbs decreasing the change of repetitive-use injuries. Technology and style in one neat little package. Now get on the field!

ASICS Men's Lethal Testimonial IT Soccer Shoes

The new ASICS Soccer Cleats really are kind of a revelation in Soccer Gear. I've mentioned before that, when compared to the current generation of Soccer Shoes, their design seems simple and traditional. However, these Men's Soccer Cleats feature the ASICS 10 millimeter Heel Gradient, an amazing advancement in injury prevention. Let's take a look at the ASICS Men's Lethal Testimonial IT Soccer Shoes.

ASICS embarked on a mission to determine common over-use injuries and how a change in footwear development might assist in reducing them. From this work, ASICS determined that providing a 10mm heel raise changed the angle of the hip, knee and ankle. These changes may reduce the common over-use injuries of the hamstring and achilles.

ASICS has two versions of this soccer cleat, the Lethal Testimonial ST design and this IT version. The IT stands for Innovative Tiger sole, a newly designed Fixed cleat plate using a new Lightweight Solyte Polymer Outsole. This design incorporates more studs of similar size, resulting in more contact area, more grip and faster release when changing direction.

ASICS Men's Lethal Testimonial ST Soccer Shoes

Soccer Shoe designs have gotten flashier over the years, but sometimes you want to appeal to purists with your Men's Soccer Cleats. Certainly ASICS knows this well, which is why they feature a more traditional boot on a number of shoes in their ASICS Soccer Cleats line. But don't think they skimped on the features, as these are still the most technical soccer shoes around with the most important advances to come along in years! Today we look at the ASICS Men's Lethal Testimonial ST Soccer Shoes.

This style of shoe has been one of the most popular in the ASICS Line-up over the years. With a Solyte Midsole, removable sock liner and Kangaroo Leather, this is some top notch Soccer Gear. The ST in the name refers to Screw Type cleats; these form a 6-cleat removable sole design. The design is clean, simple but sharp and references back to an old-school look.

But do you see that little red section on the heel? That is the 10mm Heel Gradient design, a major tech leap forward. It raises your heel 10 millimeters which shifts the body mass forward allowing for faster transition from standstill to action, which in turn puts a LOT less strain on your lower limbs and reduces the risk of soccer related injury.

ASICS Lethal Tigreor 4 Soccer Shoe Comparison

Even subtle changes in the design of Soccer Shoes can make a big difference. For further clarification on yesterdays post, I want to discuss the difference between two ASICS Soccer Cleats, the ASICS Lethal Tigreor 4 IT Soccer Shoe and the ASICS Lethal Tigreor 4 ST Soccer Shoe. Those two IT vs. ST letters at the end make a big difference and certainly effect what you might be looking for in a Men's Soccer Cleat.

The IT model stands for Innovative Tiger Sole: A newly designed Fixed Soccer cleat plate using a new lightweight Solyte Polymer outsole. This design incorporates more studs of similar size, resulting in more contact area, more grip and faster release when changing direction.

The ST model stands for Screw Type: As you would figure by the name, this shoe features a removable soccer cleat configuration. While all other features like the Solyte Polymer outsole, reinforced mid-foot and Kangaroo leather vamp stay the same, there are fewer cleat studs resulting in less contact area which certainly leads to a different, faster feel, but may be too floaty for defenders.

Whichever option you choose, ASICS describes the Lethal Tigreor as the mainstay of their soccer line, and both feature the innovative 10 milimeter Heel Gradient which shifts your body mass forward over center and reduces strain on the lower limbs. This means that either shoe is an excellent addition to your Soccer Gear.

ASICS Lethal Tigreor 4 IT Soccer Shoe

Soccer Gear comes in all shapes and sizes, and Soccer Shoes may be one of the hardest items to choose. Sorting through all of the brands brings us to an amazing new selection of ASICS Soccer Cleats due in June of this year! ASICS has a huge brand following, but they didn't just sit back and relax, instead they made one of the most important advances in Men's Soccer Cleats in recent history. So let's look at the ASICS Lethal Tigreor 4 IT Soccer Shoe.

Ain't she pretty? But she doesn't just have looks going for her as there is a lot of technology under the hood of this Soccer Cleat. With a molded Solyte midsole and a super lightweight Solyte polymer outsole that incorporates more studs at a smaller size, you get increased grip and contact area allowing for a fast release during direction changes. There is also lightweight synthetic leather in the back of the shoe and Kangaroo leather on the vamp, making for a shoe that provides extreme comfort.

But the biggest feature by far is the 10mm Heel Gradient in the rear-foot that changes the angle of the hip, knee and ankle and helps reduce the common over-use injuries in these areas. This angle also reduces areas of stress in the lower extremities and provides cushioning. It is amazing how much difference 10 millimeters can make.

You can preorder ASICS soccer cleats online now and get your pick from a number of these HG10mm offerings.
