Asics Contend 9 PS Junior Running Shoes

The Contend 9 PS (Pre-School) shoe is designed for young feet. Delivering a cushioned underfoot feeling for stability over hard surfaces.

Mesh Upper

The mesh upper encases each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise. The increase in ventilation provides a perfect microclimate for feet to thrive in. Toe reinforcement alongside toe rubber stitching both enhance the overall durability of the shoes and protects little feet against possible snags and bumps. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system that ensures a secure and comfortable fit throughout any run and a hook and loop strap for easy adjustments for little hands.

EVA Midsole

Tiny feet get sponge-like, bouncy cushioning with the lightweight EVA foam midsole. Designed for all-day play, it absorbs shock for soft, gentle landings so every step feels natural and comfortable. It keeps little legs feeling fresh and fatigue-free, ensuring a fun, distraction-free ride for your young children. The CUB MATCH sockliner sits on the midsole, offering extra cushioning, with an added tiger caricature to help kids recognise the left shoe from the right shoe.

Solid Rubber Outsole

A durable, solid rubber outsole completes the shoe, supplying reliable grip for your little ones steps. The flexible rubber withstands wear and tear from uneven surfaces, giving your little one added confidence whether they are walking, or running. In addition to this, the grippy tread creates a solid bond with a variety of floors, which is crucial for stability as they explore. This helps reduce the risk of slips and tumbles, keeping them safely on their feet.
