The ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS is a high-performance tennis shoe designed specifically for junior players who want reliable stability, lasting comfort, and responsive control on the court. Built with the same precision and technology as ASICS’ adult performance shoes, this model ensures that young athletes can move confidently and play their best — whether training or competing on hard or clay courts.
The upper of the GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS features a combination of synthetic leather overlays and breathable mesh panels, providing both structure and ventilation. This design keeps the foot secure during quick movements while maintaining airflow to prevent overheating. The synthetic reinforcements also enhance durability, allowing the shoe to withstand long matches and intense training sessions.
Inside, ASICS integrates its signature GEL™ cushioning technology in the forefoot to reduce impact during fast stops, slides, and landings. This helps protect growing joints and keeps every movement smooth and comfortable. Combined with a lightweight EVA midsole, the shoe delivers excellent responsiveness and energy return, helping junior players stay agile and efficient throughout the game.
To ensure balance and stability, the TRUSSTIC™ system in the midfoot minimizes unwanted twisting while maintaining flexibility for natural movement. This makes the GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS perfect for young athletes still developing their footwork and coordination.
Underneath, the solid rubber outsole provides durable traction across all court surfaces. Its tread pattern is optimized for multi-directional grip, allowing players to accelerate, pivot, and stop with total control. The non-marking design makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS doesn’t just perform — it looks professional too. Its sleek, sporty aesthetic mirrors the adult GEL-DEDICATE model, giving juniors the same competitive style as their tennis idols. From baseline rallies to net approaches, it delivers dependable performance and comfort every step of the way.
Whether your child is a beginner or an aspiring competitor, the ASICS GEL-DEDICATE 8 GS provides the perfect combination of support, comfort, and durability to help them improve their skills and enjoy the game with confidence.
