About this shoe

The ASICS Speed Menace FF is built specifically for medium and fast bowlers — not an all-round shoe adapted for bowling, but a shoe engineered from the ground up around the biomechanics of a fast bowler’s delivery stride. The key challenge for fast bowlers is the landing phase: the high-impact moment when the front foot plants and the body absorbs up to eight times bodyweight. The Speed Menace addresses this with DUOMAX™ technology on both the lateral and medial sides of the midsole, providing dual-density stability that resists the inward roll of the foot on landing — a primary cause of stress fractures and ankle injuries in fast bowlers.

The bowler-specific outsole uses a 4/6 stud configuration — 10 metal spikes total — designed to dig into natural turf and provide maximum grip through the approach, plant and follow-through. Deep flex grooves in the outsole work alongside the midsole to allow natural foot flexion at the point of delivery, so the shoe bends with the foot rather than fighting it. A synthetic leather upper with open mesh panels keeps the shoe structured and breathable through long spells. The 3D printed footbed provides a locked-in fit. Compatible with all ASICS Cricket Studs — both metal and rubber — so you can switch configuration for different surfaces.

UK sizes 8–13. Runs true to UK sizing. Designed for use on natural grass only — metal spikes are not suitable for artificial or synthetic surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

DUOMAX™ is ASICS’s dual-density midsole technology, placed on both the lateral and medial sides of the shoe. For fast bowlers, this creates stability on both sides of the foot during the high-impact landing phase — resisting the inward rolling motion (overpronation) that is a leading cause of stress fractures and ankle injuries in pace bowlers. It’s the most important technology in the Speed Menace for a fast bowler’s longevity.
The Speed Menace uses metal spikes and is designed for natural grass pitches and outfields only. Metal spikes must not be used on artificial turf, synthetic wickets or indoor surfaces — they will damage the surface and provide no additional grip. For those surfaces, the ASICS GEL-Peake 3 with moulded rubber studs is the right choice.
The Speed Menace outsole has 10 metal spikes arranged in a 4/6 pattern — 4 studs in the forefoot and 6 in the heel/midfoot area. This bowler-specific layout is designed to give maximum traction during the approach run, the front-foot plant, and the follow-through, rather than a generalised all-round stud pattern.
The Speed Menace is a specialist fast bowler’s shoe — built around the delivery stride, DUOMAX stability and a bowler-specific stud layout. The Gel Gully 7 is an all-round competitive spike suited to batting, fielding and medium-pace bowling. If you bowl fast and want a shoe built specifically for that, the Speed Menace is the better choice. WhatsApp us if you’re unsure.
