Verdict
ASICS’ current value clay shoe—full herringbone, WINGWALL plant, AHARPLUS durability, and ~$110 list that actually makes sense when your season is red dirt, not another hard-court skate on clay.
A wide, stable hard-court shoe that lasts a rec season if you are hard on laterals.
The blue racket that still makes pace feel free—softer than older Pure Drives, still firm, still the club default when you want the ball to go.
