Features

Equipped with an evolved belt

The materials are made of synthetic fiber and artificial leather, and it features a type that tightens with laces and a common ankle belt seen in high jump spikes.  
The mesh part is extremely minimal, and compared to other spikes, breathability is inferior, but it is believed that breathability has slightly improved due to the reduced proportion of artificial leather compared to the previous model.  
A significant difference from the previous model is the incorporation of Dynawrap technology.  
This Dynawrap technology allows the strap extending from the heel to be pulled up with the shoelaces, preventing the foot from slipping during the significant impact of takeoff. Furthermore, the interaction with the thicker belt compared to the previous model provides greater stability in the midfoot.

Slightly tight width

The width of ASICS high jump spikes is generally narrower compared to other manufacturers.  
Like the previous model, this High Jump PRO2 also has a relatively slim width.  
Below is a simple width comparison order.  
High Jump PRO2 > MIZUNO > Other ASICS > NIKE > ADIDAS  
In the above order, the spikes become narrower from the left side.  

Additionally, the heel part is also firm and securely fixed. Furthermore, the toe area is largely covered by a hard outer sole, continuing from the previous model. This results in high durability that can withstand the impact on the heel and toe.

A sole that boasts maximum hardness inherited from the previous model

It has a generally common configuration for high jump spikes, with 11 pins (7 in the front, 4 in the back), and comes with replaceable 9mm metal double parallel pins.  
The hardness of the sole is harder than that of overseas manufacturers' spikes such as MIZUNO's Field Geo, NIKE, and ADIDAS, making this ASICS High Jump PRO2 the hardest sole spike compared to all manufacturers and all events.  
The outsole has been upgraded from the old model High Jump PRO, which had a rubber anti-slip, to now feature sharkskin, providing stronger grip.  
Other features of the sole include an incline designed to support curved approaches, as it is made for takeoff foot.

An average easy-to-handle sole

Compared to other high jump spikes, the curvature is around the middle.  
It features a normal curvature that is neither too large nor too small.  
The curvature of the sole is exactly the same angle as MIZUNO's Field Geo HJ. It is almost the same angle as the previous model High Jump PRO.
