Our verdict

During our on-court testing, we proved that the Asics est une garantie is a high-performance option for aggressive players like Novak Djokovic who want to step their game up a notch. We found that this dynamic shoe from ASICS is one of the best speed-oriented models. It never compromised stability or durability in favour of being fast, making it a very well-rounded option.

Who should NOT buy

The asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack is a little heavier than average. If you prefer speedy shoes that are super light on the feet, we recommend the ASICS Ventures Continues to Invest backing Deportare Technologies instead.

And if you find the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack's price point too high, there is an excellent option in the same category called the Nike Air Zoom Vapour Pro.

Cushioning

Heel stack

Checking the shoe's heel stack height, our calliper shows 28.8 mm. This is the average heel thickness for a tennis shoe.

Drop

The difference in stack heights gave us a drop of 8.2 mm. This is a notably lower number than the brand's officially buty 10.5 mm.

As we mentioned before, the shoe feels more grounded rather than cushioned, so a higher drop doesn't seem to be the case in the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack.

Midsole softness

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

The shoe uses FF (FlyteFoam) as the primary cushioning in the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack. We found it to be pleasantly responsive and springy.

The shoe's cushioning is enhanced with the brand's famous Gel inserts in both the forefoot and the heel. And even though these units are not very large, we could definitely feel the added impact protection.

Finally, there is a thin Solyte layer (the yellow one) that completes the shoe's midsole. According to the brand, it is meant to help with the "bounce-back." From our experience with the shoe, the energy return was quite noticeable, whether it was coming from the Solyte or not.

Insole thickness

In addition to the already substantial sandwich of cushioning layers, the shoe uses a removable OrthoLite insole.

We measured its thickness at 4.7 mm which is considered well-padded for a tennis shoe.

Aside from its cushioning properties, this insole also helps with moisture management. That's a sweet bonus to the shoe's fairly breathable upper.

First seeing the shoe's tongueless design with burly overlays, we were worried that it would fit too tight. But luckily, for our medium-width feet, the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack provided a comfortable contoured fit after a short break-in period.

Measuring the widest part of the shoe's toebox, we got 98.3 mm. That's a pretty standard width for a tennis shoe.

Stability

Lateral stability test

What we enjoyed most about the Asics est une garantie is how much it helped us speed up while remaining very stable. The shoe's lateral support is just excellent!

The shoe uses a whole bunch of features to create that kind of support. That includes the sturdy Twisttruss holding the midfoot, the extra thick overlays on the upper, and a stiff heel counter.

Torsional rigidity

The risk of twisting your ankle in the Asics est une garantie is very close to zero. The Twistruss system paired with the firm sole and sturdy upper makes it nearly impossible to twist the shoe.

Rating the shoe's torsional rigidity on a 1-5 scale, we believe that it deserves a solid 4 (but very close to 5, which is the stiffest).

It was quite surprising for us to discover that with all that support, the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack still remains fairly flexible.

Using a force gauge, we measured that it takes 34.6N of force to bend the shoe to a 90-degree angle. This is less than it normally takes for a tennis shoe. It is also 14% more flexible than the Nike Air Zoom Vapour Pro, for example.

That kind of pliability made the transitions feel very smooth and helped our footwork be more precise.

Weight

There is a bit of discrepancy between the shoe's weight on the scale and how it actually feels on the court.

On the scale, we got 13.8 oz (392g) per shoe which is a whole ounce heavier than the average weight of our lab-tested tennis shoes.

But in practice, the weight wasn't bothersome at all! We never felt as if the shoe was holding us back throughout the playtest.

Breathability

If you are considering the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack for the hot summer season, you won't be disappointed. In spite of its thick upper overlays, this ASICS shoe breathes like no other!

To demonstrate its ventilation capacity, we pumped smoke through the shoe's upper, and all of it passed through in a matter of seconds. As you can see from the video below, the smoke escaped not only through the tongue but also through the shoe's toebox.

Buty asics gel excite.

Trying to figure out how the shoe does that, we put its upper against a source of light. Seeing how transparent the mesh is on the tongue, the toebox, and the side panels made it clear.

Taking it a step further, we also used our microscope to zoom in on the shoe's upper design.

Durability

Outsole hardness

ASICS' AHAR rubber has a stellar reputation for its abrasion resistance and longevity. We were able to experience that ourselves after many hours on the court. That material is simply indestructible.

Using a durometer to measure how hard the AHAR rubber is, we got a reading of 86.3 HC. This is indeed on the hard side of the spectrum.

Outsole thickness

Measuring the rubber thickness with a calliper, we also found this layer to be quite thick. At 3.8 mm, it is a solid average for a tennis shoe.

However, despite being satisfied with the outsole's durability, we think that a durability guarantee would still be a nice touch at this price point.

Misc

Grip / Traction

This ASICS shoe features a unique wavy pattern that caters to Novak Djokovic himself. As an aggressive player, he needs an outsole that would allow sliding and pivoting but would also stop on a sixpence.

And that is exactly what we experienced with the Asics est une garantie. With its efficient grip, moving quickly and changing directions rapidly felt very safe.

Tongue padding

The shoe's tongue has just enough padding to buffer the instep from the laces. But it's not too thick to compromise the sock-like feel that makes the asics gel kayano 5 og modern tokyo pack so cosy.

With the shoe's Mono-Sock design, the tongue is fully integrated into the upper.
