OFFICIAL ONLINE SHOP FOR THE HI-TEC WORLD SQUASH CHAMPIONSHIPS LAUNCHED

Today sees the launch of the online shop for The Hi-Tec World Squash Championships – Manchester 2008 at the event’s specially created website http://www.worldsquash2008.com/, which provides visitors with access to a wide range of leading squash equipment including the official shoe of the Championships, The Hi-Tec 4:SYS.

Worn by World Number one and reigning World Champion, Amr Shabana, The Hi-Tec 4:SYS shoe is the result of over two years development and has three unique technologies which combine to deliver more cushioning, control, stability and grip.

The Impact Zone in the heel provides up to 38% better impact absorption, which works with the 4:SYS midsole to reduce total force by up to 35% and the Peak Force outsole gives up to 6 times better grip than any other shoe tested.

 

The bespoke site, which is hosted by leading sports equipment retailer http://www.sportdiscount.com/, will also stock the Dunlop Aerogel, the official racket of The Hi-Tec World Squash Championships – Manchester 2008 which offers a massive 50% saving off the recommended retail price along with a line of branded performance polo and t-shirts and tracksuit pants.
