ASICS Aggressor 4: Back to the Rulon's Grip
It takes a lot for a shoe to be loved so much that it gets a
complete overhaul four times! That is exactly what ASICS has done with
the release of the brand-new Aggressor 4 line. Back in the day, ASICS
revolutionized wrestling shoe technology with the release of the “Rulon”
model wrestling shoe - named after Greco Roman Olympic Gold Medalist
and heavy weight, Rulon Gardner. With his design and specifics in mind,
the ASICS Rulon, with ultimate grip and durability, allowed him to be
able to get the most power out of his performance and, pull off one of
the biggest upsets of all time. With its unmatched durability, traction,
and slick looks, the shoe was a best seller. After the shoe was
discontinued, one of our biggest complaints over previous Aggressors
went something like this: “Why aren’t the new Aggressors as great as my
Rulon’s were?” Well just like true love, when you set something free, it
will always return, and it has in the new Aggressor 4.
The brand-new Aggressor 4 features an all new tread model layout that is
as close as it can get to the smoother and stickier rubber that brought
the original all of its fame and fortune. If there was ever a question
if the Aggressor could get even more traction, then the answer is most
definitely yes. The sole rises up high on the ankle just like it has in
past models and provides some of the best traction of any wrestling shoe
on the market. Period. ASICS truly listened to the people on this one
and went back to their roots in developing the durability and traction
of these shoes. Moving up from the outsole, ASICS has completely redone
the upper with improved mesh breathability. Partnered with the big
classic ASICS logo that adorned its predecessors, the Aggressor 4 will
be an all-around classic. Starting at the tongue and moving down, ASICS
has chosen to keep its classic lacing garage system that allows the
wearer to quickly and cleanly tuck away their laces. The tongue also
sports a build of ultra-breathable mesh that allows for ultra comfort
with no unnecessary bunching. Down to the top of the toe box, ASICS has
kept their traditional reinforced toe fabric that allows for maximum
durability while you’re dragging your toes, scoring those takedowns
right on the edge. The shoe is truly versatile, sported by our own
athletes representing the great US of A at the world level, and by any
wrestler who is just starting out. Whatever kind of wrestler you are,
the Aggressor 4 will never be a bad bet. Finally, with at least three
colorways to choose from including: black and white, triple white and
black, white and Kelly green - these shoes can match almost anything,
and you can rest assured that there will be a color that fits everyone.
The Aggressor 4 can guarantee you will be turning heads while you’re
cranking necks on the mat
