ASICS Tennis<\/span><\/a> has made Jack Draper\u2019s long rumoured switch officially official, confirming the British No. 1 as the latest name on its global tennis roster via a short social announcement and a new footwear deal built around the <\/span>Solution Speed FF 4<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Draper joins ASICS roster<\/b><\/h3>\n

ASICS has signed Draper, currently ranked world No. 14, to a performance partnership that will see him wear the brand\u2019s SOLUTION SPEED FF 4 series throughout the 2026 season. The move formalises a relationship that began when Draper started competing in ASICS shoes in 2025 and positions him alongside other top pros in the brand\u2019s tennis line up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jack Draper, ASICS Athlete and Professional Tennis Player, <\/b>said<\/span><\/a>, “I’m really excited to have joined the ASICS team, and I\u2019m looking forward to competing in the SOLUTION SPEED\u2122 FF 4 shoes. As soon as I tried these tennis shoes, I knew they were the right choice for me and I’m excited to be a part of the ASICS family.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speed-first footwear fit<\/b><\/h3>\n

The SOLUTION SPEED FF 4 is ASICS\u2019 fastest tennis model, designed for players who live off first step speed, quick changes of direction and aggressive baseline coverage. It pairs a lightweight <\/span>FLYTEFOAM<\/span><\/a> midsole with updated SPEEDTRUSS for acceleration and a <\/span>PRECISION-SOLE<\/span><\/a> outsole with <\/span>ASICSGRIP<\/span><\/a> rubber for traction, aligning closely with Draper\u2019s explosive, hard court leaning game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brand and athlete reactions<\/b><\/h3>\n

In the formal announcement, <\/span>Mitsuyuki Tominaga, President and COO, ASICS,<\/b> said,<\/span><\/a> “We are delighted to welcome Jack Draper into the ASICS family. We are honored that Jack has chosen ASICS as his trusted footwear partner, and we look forward to helping support his journey with our industry-leading tennis shoes.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This signing is another sign that ASICS is doubling down on speed oriented silhouettes and top 20 talent rather than chasing only Grand Slam champions at the very top of the rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ASICS Tennis has made Jack Draper\u2019s long rumoured switch officially official, confirming the British No. 1 as the…","protected":false},"author":219894228,"featured_media":22710,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","pad_hide_post_author":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1408],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-22709","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business","8":"cs-entry","9":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\nJack Draper Signs with ASICS and Joins Its Global Tennis Athlete Family<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/footwearmagazine.com\/?p=22709\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Jack Draper Signs with ASICS and Joins Its Global Tennis Athlete Family\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ASICS Tennis has made Jack Draper\u2019s long rumoured switch officially official, confirming the British No. 1 as the…\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/footwearmagazine.com\/?p=22709\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Footwear Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/footwearmagazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-07T16:52:51+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/footwearmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/SnapInsta.to_643567828_18573381823000504_3193332292372241335_n.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alyssa J.
