Who should buy the K-Swiss Ultrascendor
The highly sought-after K-Swiss Ultrascendor that’s screaming with a retro vibe and injected with a winning combination of stability and cushioning. It is a solid option if you:
- Need a shoe that is a reliable trainer for multi-surface use.
- Need a shoe that has an aptly supportive and responsive sole.
- Need a shoe that is reasonably priced, durable, and high-performing footgear.
High-density and grippy rubber
The bottommost layer is packaged with a K-Swiss-developed outsole technology called Aosta 7.0. This outsole unit is created with high-density rubber. Such a component is formulated to keep its form for an extended period, even as it is exposed to constant hammering on clay or hard courts.
The non-marking and wavy tread pattern on the rubber compound is designed to grip the court. It is also molded to prevent unwanted slips as the user engages in defensive or offensive shots.
EVA foam cushioning
K-Swiss designers crafted this shoe with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam that’s purposed to dampen shock impulses. The team of innovators who worked on the Ultrascendor also added the Shock Spring technology to the midsole to intensify the shoe’s impact-absorption capacity. This technical element is precisely integrated under the ball of the foot and heel.
Excellent arch support
Under the arch of the foot is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that inhibits the inward rolling of the foot. Such a rigid platform that serves as a midfoot bridge keeps the heel planted on the ground while allowing the forefoot to flex.
Genuine leather
The footgear is wrapped in genuine leather, which stretches at critical flex points through more extended use. This material is utilized to prevent dirt from entering the shoe, primarily when used on the clay surface.
Ortholite insole and generous fitting
The tongue and collar are dressed with an adequate amount of padding that grips and cinches down the foot. It mainly prevents the foot from wobbling inside between steps. For added comfort and improved fit, this trainer comes with a lightweight, molded Ortholite insole. It’s designed to reduce the amount of heat under the foot with its moisture-wicking capacity.
This bulky-appearing stability court footgear is reportedly built with a spacious toe box and wider-than-usual width. The added space can accommodate a more significant number of users with varying foot widths.
