My little dive into Iga Swiatek’s shoes
So, I was watching some tennis the other day, you know, just chilling. And Iga Swiatek was playing. Man, the way she covers the court is just something else. Really gets everywhere. It got me thinking, what kind of shoes is she wearing to move like that?

Honestly, I got pretty curious. You see these players sponsored by big names, but sometimes you wonder if the gear actually makes a difference, or if they’re just that good. So, I started paying closer attention during her match. Had to pause the stream a few times, try and get a good look at her feet when the camera zoomed in. Not always easy, they move so fast!
I remembered she wasn’t always wearing what she has on now. Pretty sure she used to wear Nike way back when. Yeah, definitely Nike. But these looked different. The logo wasn’t the swoosh.
So, what did I do next? Well, I pulled out my phone during a changeover. Did a quick search, something like “what shoes Iga Swiatek wears now”. You know how it is.
Found out pretty quick she switched brands. Landed on a few forum posts and articles talking about it. Here’s what I gathered:
- She made a switch sometime back.
- Ended up signing with Asics.
- The specific line she seems to favor is the Asics Gel-Resolution.
Makes sense, those are pretty popular tennis shoes, known for stability, which you’d need with her baseline game. Looked like she was mostly seen in the Gel-Resolution 8 for a while, and then more recently, it seems she’s been sporting the newer Gel-Resolution 9. They probably just update her to the latest model as it comes out.
So yeah, that was my little investigation. Started just watching her play, got curious about the footwear behind those slides and quick direction changes, and ended up confirming she’s an Asics girl now, rocking the Gel-Resolutions. Pretty solid choice for her game, I reckon.
