Just like the antagonist from your favorite horror flick, the ASICS MatFlex couldn’t stay away for long. While they don’t have the scary appearance of goblins or ghouls, the MatFlex 7 does help you strike fear in the heart of your opponents, and look good doing it. Now you don't make seven different versions of something unless it's really that good, and trust us, the MatFlex 7 really is that good. Dating back to the early 2000s, the MatFlex has been the premier entry-level shoe from ASICS and has been the top selling beginner wrestling shoe since the OG model. Whether as a youth or as a senior-level contender, some of the greatest names in wrestling have sported the MatFlex. From Thomas Gilman to Jordan Burroughs, and countless names in between, the MatFlex is trusted for its reliability to always get the job done. Taking inspiration from its roots, the brand-new MatFlex 7 brings everything to the table that wrestlers love, with none of the frills they don't.

Highlighted with mesh underlays designed to keep your foot light and dry, the MatFlex 7 delivers a premium feeling boot that is not only durable but feels great. Surrounding the mesh is a mixed material overlay that gives the meat and potatoes to the MatFlex 7. This reinforced upper gives structure and support to your foot while allowing you to comfortably make your opponent uncomfortable. Under the hood is an EVA sockliner that does what’s in the name and really makes the MatFlex 7 feel like a sock with tread. This liner also helps wick away moisture, and when paired with the fine mesh material, your foot will be a dry, happy camper no matter what you put it through. Finally, ASICS completed the MatFlex 7 with its famous full-sole design that has graced the bottoms of almost every MatFlex model. The heel-to-toe rubber traction helps to keep your foot grounded to the mat surface at all times and through any sticky situation. Almost bullet proof, ASICS has worked integrated traction zones into the sole that allow for the same optimal traction, flexibility, durability, and weightlessness of other premium model wrestling shoes. Currently coming in three different colors to fit any athlete's tastes, the MatFlex is the perfect jack of all trades shoe to accompany anyone who is new to the sport, or who is looking for a shoe as tough as they are. Hardly ever is a wrestling shoe the total package. Some are match only shoes, some are practice shoes, and some are even better for different styles; but not with the MatFlex 7. These are made to handle any kind of work you throw at them, and as long as you’re willing to put in the work, the MatFlex 7 will be right there with you.
