STEP INTO COMFORT ON THE WORKSITE, WITH ASICS’ ALL-NEW WORK BOOT RANGE

[11TH MARCH, 2025 – Sydney, Australia] – Sports performance brand ASICS is stepping off the sporting field and onto the worksite with the launch of its very first Australian work boot range. Globally renowned for quality and comfort across its sportswear, the new range of ASICS work boots are designed for general trades and light industry workers looking to feel light on their feet all day.

Launching in two styles, a mid-cut and a low-cut, the ASICS Working range leans into the brand’s reputation of comfort, combining the comfort of an ASICS running shoe, with the protection of a work boot in a lightweight design that ensures wearers feel both support and lightness throughout their work days.

Comfort at the fore

Ankle padding is combined with fuzeGEL™ across the ASICS Working range providing shock absorption and protection for the feet and ankles. Constructed from lightweight materials to keep the boot weight to a minimum, both the low-cut and mid-cut styles aim to provide all-day comfort, allowing wearers to stay agile and comfortable, even during long shifts.

With the unpredictability of worksite conditions, the ASICS mid-cut style model also features a waterproof GORE-TEX™ upper and liner, helping to prevent water and mud from entering the shoes’ interior whilst keeping feet cool throughout the day.

Advanced Protection

Each model of the ASICS Working range features a composite toe cap for added protection while helping to keep the boot’s weight light, making them the perfect option for airport workers. Featuring an oil-resistant rubber outsole, both models in the ASICS Working range provide a puncture-proof shield and improved grip, helping to make the boots slip-resistant. All boots in the range are also anti-static.

With the BOA® Lacing System, the ASICS work boots offer a precision fit in seconds, through micro adjustments made via a simple dial system. With time of the essence for busy tradespeople, the boots are easy to slip off with the pull of the dial.

Both models in the ASICS working range are certified to Australian Standards (AS 2210.3:2019).

A step away from sportswear

Speaking on the brand’s move into work boots, ASICS Oceania Managing Director, Mark Brunton said, “As a sports performance brand, with comfort and performance at the fore of our product innovations, and a long history of shoe development, we’re in a unique position to step in to new footwear categories that leverage this heritage to produce quality products.

“Boasting the comfort of a running shoe in the form of a work boot, we’re excited to offer something new to the working category – a product that elevates all-day comfort and performance, enhanced through a lightweight design. Our goal is to provide tradespeople with footwear that not only meets their safety needs but also ensures they remain comfortable throughout their demanding workdays,” he said.

The ASICS Working range will come in two models, the CP3 S3 BOA® (low-cut, black only) and CP6 S3 G-TX BOA® (mid-cut, black and sand colourways) and will be available in men’s sizes 6-12, 13, 14 and 15.

The CP3 S3 BOA® (low-cut) will retail for $220 AUD, and the CP6 S3 G-TX BOA® (mid-cut) will retail for $270 AUD. The range will be sold exclusively through ASICS.com/au.
