Asics Solution Speed FF 4 Black/Aurora Men's Shoes
5.0
Asics' premium offering for players looking to maximize speed; this update is not only light and quick, but comes with more plush cushioning underfoot.
Designed for players who are looking to maximize their speed and court coverage, the ASICS Solution Speed FF 4 is lightweight, supportive, and features improved underfoot cushioning. Carrying on with FlyteFoam cushioning, the midsole feels nice and plush without adding on weight or bulk; giving you that added comfort for long matches or training sessions. To help give you confidence and stability on your lateral movements, Speedtruss not only enhances the torsional strength of the shoe, but also acts like a spring-board to help propel you to the next ball. An engineered woven mesh wraps the foot for a locked-in, adaptive fit that moves seamlessly with you, while the reinforced lacing system adds durability for hard-court sliders and intense match play. Asics' Precision Sole is formed from a unique rubber compound that delivers a lighter, faster feel without sacrificing traction. The tread pattern is designed for use on a variety of court surfaces, but we find them to perform best on hard courts.
- Upper: Seamless mesh upper with Flexion Fit for step-in comfort, breathability and support; Personal Heel Fit technology for increased lock-down; PU Covered + Loop Lace Protection.
- Midsole: FlyteFoam cushioning in the midsole for a responsive feel with an updated mid-foot trusstic system, Speedtruss which provides torsional support and stability, and increased energy return.
- Outsole: Asics High Abrasion AI generated outsole, designed algorithmically based on player feedback. Rubber is strategically reinforced to maximize durability where it is needed, while cutting down on mass. High performance traction on a variety of court surfaces, but we find them to perform best on hard courts.
- Color: Black / Aurora

Customer Reviews
Better Than SS3s In Every WayI used the SS3s for 2 years, went through 3 pairs of them, and can say that the 4s are better in every way. The feel more supportive on the ankles, more grip on the court, more bouncy, more responsive, the laces are better, and they feel equally as light to me.
The one thing I have noticed is that the 4s were much harder to break in that my previous 3s, which resulted in some pretty gnarly blisters on both heels for the first week of use. So I would recommend a more intentional break in process before any intense sessions. I went straight into a footwork and speed practice with my brand new pair and regretted it. User error though, so I'm not knocking the rating of the shoe.
Terrific upgradeBeen using all previous gens of this shoe, v2 and v3 needed a cushioned insole to prevent the achilles flaring up. Great shoes, but raw. This one is basically v3 with a cushioned insole, all-in-one. It's way more plush and comfy, it's the best feeling out of the box shoe on the market IMO. May be a little heavier, but you will never notice it. Gladly will take the extra cushion and bounce. Laces are also improved, the prior version were too thin and snapped frequently. Last but not least, the traction. Stellar. There is a piece in the toe that helps with forward push off, unreal. I'm in love.... what can I say. 5.5 player.
Great Shoe, Would like more colors!I've worn the previous versions of these for quite awhile. They seemed narrow in the toe box but I always liked the performance of them. The newest version is much more comfortable right out-of-the-box and has a wider toe box which keeps my toes from jamming up against the edges. My last 4 pairs of shoes have been on cloud Rogers and on cloud fires; these are way more comfortable.
My only complaint is that I would like to see more colorways. Super stoked about this new model!
Slower than FF3FF3 acceleration/quickness 10/10, ultra responsive & low to the ground. I prefer FF3 b/c of just raw performance & feel. You can cut out of corners and recover unlike anything I've exp.
But I think most people will prefer FF4 over FF3.
FF4 feels like 80% FF & 20% gel resolution. Its higher off the ground, more cushioned. The shape of the shoe is very contoured in the toe box & this was an upgrade for me, I like my shoes super snug. But I foresee the fit can be hit or miss for people. Good luck if you got a fat foot.
I'd imagine the durability is better than FF3 b/c FF3 was low durability. Also new, the ff4 pushes you forward onto your toes all the time. The laces & tongue are thicker and way more comfortable, big improvement. The runners knot eyelet is now only on 1 side of each shoe. Slightly less lockdown or maybe I don't know how to runners knot/heel lock this new design correctly.
Improvement over previous FF3, similar to GR9I've struggled to find a shoe to replace the GR9s since the GR10s were released. I used the Speed FF3s most of last year and while it was good, I had some stability issues and slipping when I clipped the plastic on the bottom.
My experience with the Speed FF4 has been entirely positive in my first 10 hours on court with them. They're a little more cushiony than the Speed FF3s, primarily in the middle section, but overall they fit and play about the same. I think the break-in time is faster now too, which is nice. There was a little popping sound when I walked in them at first, but this went away after about an hour.
It feels like they added a little stability and improved the sole in some fashion (feels firmer, more grippy, not entirely sure, but I like it). Overall I like this shoe a lot and don't have anything negative to say about it.
