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.
A comfortable modern 98 that gives rec regulars easy depth without a boardy, tour-stiff feel.
