ASICS Contend 8 PS Junior Running Shoes The Contend 8 PS (Pre-School) is a shoe designed for young feet. Each shoe in the collection features a hook and loop fastening system that helps keep feet stabilised. Details like the toe cap, toe rubber stitching and solid rubber outsole, increase durability and lengthen the shoe's lifespan. Additionally, ASICS' Cub Match sockliner is printed with a tiger caricature that helps kids identify the right and left shoe. Engineered Mesh Upper Constructed using an engineered mesh upper, the ASICS Contend 8 Running Shoes encase each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. This aids moisture management by wicking sweat and excess moisture as it's produced and then transferring it to the outer layers where it can be easily evaporated, keeping your little ones' feet cool, dry and comfortable at all t
