Asics The Gable™ Throwback Wrestling Shoes

Asics has released a throwback version of the Dan Gable wrestling shoes from 1981.

These were once called the Asics Tiger (I believe). I had a pair of them as hand-me-downs from my brother in the late 80's. They aren't built as padded and high-tech as the shoes today, but they are very flexible (not as good as the old school adidas combat speed), however. As always, Wrestling Shoes and all other wrestling gear can be discussed at TheWrestlingTalk.com
