In February 2016, Kate Middleton wore a pair of ASICS GEL-Solution 3 Speed tennis shoes for a tennis workshop with Judy Murray.
The workshop was part of Judy’s “Tennis on the Road” initiative. The organisation tours schools in Scotland hoping to inspire children into taking up tennis. (You can learn more about by clicking here).
The Duchess needed sporty footwear for the tennis lesson, so she changed out of her heels into these ASICS tennis shoes.
