Recommended for such people
- Recommended for those who are undecided between high jump and javelin throw  

- Recommended for those looking for high jump/javelin spikes that can be worn on dirt  
The all-weather/dirt-compatible high jump spike is limited to two models, including ASICS' Heat Fly. It is recommended for middle and high school students who want to use the same spikes for both practice and competitions.  

- Recommended for beginners who have not yet decided which foot to use for takeoff  
Unlike other high jump spikes, this model can accommodate either foot for takeoff, making it suitable for beginners who are just starting out.

Features

Highly breathable upper

Made of synthetic fibers and artificial leather.  
Designed with consideration for middle and high school students who mainly practice on school grounds, the upper uses highly breathable mesh that remains comfortable even after long periods of wear.  
Therefore, even in situations like practice where they are worn for extended periods, they excel in breathability compared to other ASICS high jump spikes, providing a relatively comfortable wearing experience.  
The upper features a type that is tightened with shoelaces and a belt, commonly seen in high jump spikes.  
The belt is located around the center of the shoelaces on the instep and is of similar thickness to standard ASICS spikes.  
Additionally, as this model can accommodate take-off from either foot, it is symmetrical.

Slightly tight width

The width is exactly the same size as the new Heat Flight.  
The width of ASICS high jump spikes feels slightly tighter than other spikes, so wearing a size about 1cm larger than your usual size will provide a perfect fit.  
It is narrower than the high jump series from overseas brands like NIKE and ADIDAS, and slightly wider than MIZUNO's Field Geo HJ.

Soft sole to prevent injuries for beginners

Generally structured as a high jump spike, with 11 pins (7 in the front, 4 in the back), and includes dirt pins.  
The parallel pins for all-weather use are sold separately and are not included.  
The shape of the sole surface is horizontal, as it is a model that is not restricted to either foot for take-off.  
The hardness of the sole is the softest compared to other manufacturers' high jump spikes, with low rebound.  
NIKE, ADIDAS, and ASICS' High Jump PRO series boast a hardness rating of 4 out of 5, while MIZUNO's Field Geo HJ has a rating of 3/5, making it the next softest spike after the Tiger Paw JAPAN ARCH.  
Due to its softness and flexibility, it makes it easier for beginners to run during the approach phase when turning.

Slightly arched sole for a high jump spike

The arch of the sole is almost the same as the new model, Heat Fly.  
The spike with the smallest sole arch for high jumping is NIKE's High Jump Elite at 14°, while the Tiger Paw JAPAN ARCH has a slightly larger incline at 15°.  
Due to its non-restrictive incline, the sole is easy to wear even for beginners.
