ASICS GEL-NETBURNER PRO 6

Here’s a shoe for all our hoopin’ ladies out there. Not simply because this shoe is named & targeted for netballers but because at BASKETBALL stadiums all over the country the girls just seem to be loving these shoes. You have to give the team at Asics credit; they’ve well & truly cornered the market with their Netburner Series of shoes. From tiny tots to tall timbers, court sports chicks are dominating in Asics.



One of the latest models – the Gel Netburner Pro 6 – is marketed as an ‘Elite Netball Shoe.’ It looks & feels like a running shoe, and performs like you could only wish a court sport shoe would. Without neglecting their niche market, Asics could be forgiven in rethinking its marketing to involve a broader target audience… Then again, everyone seems to know about these anyway!

Featuring all the ASICS technology that has given the netburner series its rise to fame, the big tick of approval from mums & dads across Australia is that it’s ‘Sports Medicine Australia Recommended.’ What's great is that the kids won't be seen complaining about the choice.


Unlike the modern day basketball shoe, Asics haven't released the Pro 6 multiple bright & bold colour ways, but they do offer a very neutral white/navy/lilac in the Pro 6 shoe.


Slightly more expensive than the rest of the ASICS range but cheaper than the basketball alternatives. RRP AU$190.00 and available in sizes 6-12.

Looking for something more entry level? Try the Asics Academy at AU$150.00. It'll get you moving, includes numerous Asics features and won't bust your bank!
