Our verdict

The asics How GEL-Kayano 5 OG Gets A Sporty Black And Neon Mix retros as stylish, innovative, and ultra-comfy (as verified in our lab!) as the asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una. We had so much fun rocking this summer-ready basketball shoe, and we could even wear it on days when we wanted to shake up our looks. Apart from its signature split tongue, we loved the striking mix of coloured patterns in a luxe finish.

Good!

Who should buy

After all the tests that we did on it, we found the asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una most suitable for wearers who:

  • are after lightweight trainers from ASICS
  • want a shoe you can wear hands-free even if it does not have a heel counter
  • prioritise foot containment above all else.
  • are on the lookout for trainers that offer a good deal of breathability

Who should NOT buy

We felt the Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una's tight fit because of its narrow construction. Those who do not like this kind of snugness might be happier with the Club C 85 by Reebok.

This shoe has a combination of a narrow platform and a not-so-stiff base, which might put the shoe's overall stability in jeopardy during our test walks. Sure, there were compensatory features such as the stiff heel counter and thickly padded tongue, but the two stability-compromising features might push some to lose confidence in the asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una. They are better off with the RS-X from PUMA.

Breathability

Even if our walks lasted long, we didn't have problems with sticky and stinky feet. The airiness of the asics How Gel Lyte 3 was pretty effective in keeping our feet fresh. 

We pumped smoke into the shoe to see if it could escape through the upper material. As shown in the video above, the smoke easily seeped through the upper. We were even more impressed when we compared the upper's performance with that of the Reebok Classic Leather. With that shoe, the smoke that we pumped barely escaped through the pretty closed-off upper material.

We also assessed the material used in the upper of the Lyte III, and we were delighted to see pores in between weaves.

Both light and smoke get to pass without much issue. The Gel Lyte 3 from asics How truly deserves the 4 out of 5 that it got from us for ventilation. It's already a huge bonus that this material also feel premium.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

Compared to materials such as plastic and fabric, leather is more resistant to flame. We used our torch to determine the authenticity of the suede material used in the upper.

After being exposed to the naked flame from our torch, only the tiny fibres on the suede's velvety surface got burned. After removing the burnt part with our awl, we still saw the fairly intact suede underneath. The verdict? Legit. It's real suede.

Toebox durability

The upper has overlays in the most critical area to make it more resistant to abrasion. But the longevity of the shoe rests largely on the exposed parts, so our Dremel targeted such an area.

To our delight, the material displayed moderate resistance to pressure. It got a 3 out of 5 from us for durability.

Given such observations, we don't have qualms using this shoe even on slightly harsh surfaces.

Heel padding durability

To the touch, the heel counter truly felt stiff and unrelenting, so we already expected that it would display a considerable degree of resistance to our Dremel drilling.

True enough, our device merely left a scratch on the surface of the heel padding. It got a 4 out of 5 from us for this amazing display of durability.

Outsole hardness

Compared to the average, the outsole of the asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una felt just a little harder. Our HC durometer gave it a rating of 89.8, which is almost equal to the rating received by the Chaussures asics How Gel-Kayano 27 Tokyo 1011B077 Sunrise Red Black 600.

We do not question the capacity of both shoes to resist the pressures of normal sneaker use. We skipped and  leaped a lot during our tests, and the Lyte 3 was definitely able to keep up.

Outsole durability

To test the durability of the outsole, we also subjected it to our high-pressure Dremel drilling. The resulting dent is only 0.8 mm deep, which is slightly lower than average.

In addition to being slightly more durable, the outsole is also slightly thicker than average. Our calliper measured it to be 6.7 mm thick.

Weight

The heel was not prominently elevated. The whole midsole also did not feel especially high. Because of this, heel-to-toe transitions were quite smooth.

When we measured the heel-to-toe drop, it was indeed just around the average. Our calculations pegged it at 12.9 mm.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Just by looking at it, we could already tell that the heel part of the midsole is just as thick as the usual sneaker. Our calliper measured it to be 34.1 mm thick.

But don't get us wrong, we don't have complaints at all. The heel provided just the right amount of bounce and compressive that kept our walks and runs comfortable.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

We were quite pleased with the plushness of the midsole. It was not too much to cause instability; it was not too stiff, either. 

Our in-lab HA durometer gave it a rating of 22.1, making it just slightly softer than the average midsole.

Stability

Stability was not an issue with this shoe. The midsole was not too high and the sidewalls were stiff enough to keep our feet in place.

Torsional rigidity

The asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una's twist resistance was not the best when we were testing it in our strolls, but it also was not the worst (try walking in the New Balance Minimus TR to see what we mean!). As long as it's used not so aggressively on debris-free surfaces, this shoe should be fine. It still got a considerable 3 out of 5 for torsional rigidity, after all.

Heel counter stiffness

Aside from being durable, the heel counter also felt immensely stiff. Not once did we feel that our feet were going to pop out of the shoe because of how securely the heel counters were clasping them. A good but well-resisted squeeze in the lab was all it took to convince us to give this shoe's heel counter a perfect 5 for stiffness.

The platform of the asics How Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una is generally narrower than average. At the forefoot, it is only 100.0 mm wide, making it 9% narrower than the typical sneaker.

Narrow platforms often lead to problems with stability. Fortunately, we did not experience such issues while wearing the Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una from asics How because the stiff sidewalls and secure heel counter successfully compensated for what the platform lacked. Admittedly though, having this configuration resulted in a tighter fit, which we know is preferred by some.

However, if a relatively wide platform is what's desired for a more forgiving fit, getting the PUMA RS-X might be the better move.

Comfort

Tongue padding

Given its stiff heel counter, responsive sidewalls, fully gusseted design, and now its thickly padded tongue, we feel it's safe to say that the Incorporan algunas de las tecnologías más punteras de asics How Running para ofrecer una from asics How is big on foot containment.

Our calliper measured the tongue padding to be 12.6 mm thick, and it's easily one of the thickest that we have ever seen. Aside from providing plush comfort on top of the foot, the thick padding also helped ensure a snug fit and pretty secure lockdown.
