Who should buy
In our opinion, the ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme is an outstanding pair for players who need:
- Asics las Running Patriot 12 Sneaker in Blau und Schwarz
- an outsole with a strong grip that also lets you slide
- asics las netburner ballistic ff mt m svartgul
Who should NOT buy
The asics las baskets vert femme is a little heavier than average. If you prefer speedy shoes that are super light on the feet, we recommend the ASICS las Solution Speed FF 2 instead.
And if you find the asics las baskets vert femme's price edition too high, there is an excellent option in the same category called the Nike Air officiel Vapor Pro.
Breathability
If you are considering the asics las baskets vert femme for the hot summer season, you won't be disappointed. In spite of its thick upper overlays, this ASICS las 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.
On a 1-5 scale where 5 is the most breathable, the ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme deserves a solid 4.
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 officiel in on the shoe's upper design.
In between the thick and sturdy overlays, we see incredibly thin threads with huge ventilation pores.

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.
asics las baskets vert femme | 86.3 HC |
Average | 85.8 HC |
Outsole thickness
Measuring the rubber thickness with a caliper, 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 edition.
asics las baskets vert femme | 3.8 mm |
Average | 4.1 mm |
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.

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

Forefoot stack
Measuring the shoe's forefoot stack, we also got a fairly average reading of 20.6 mm. That's a standard height for a tennis shoe.
asics las baskets vert femme | 20.6 mm |
Average | 19.7 mm |
Asics las Gel Lyte V Medic | 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 stated 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 las baskets vert femme.

Average | 9.7 mm |
Midsole softness
The shoe uses FF (FlyteFoam) as the primary cushioning in the asics las baskets vert femme. We found it to be pleasantly responsive and springy.
Using a durometer, we found that at 32.6 HA, the FF foam is more on the firm side.

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.

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

Stability
Lateral stability test
What we enjoyed most about the ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme 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.
Asics las Gel Lyte V Medic | Torsional rigidity
The risk of twisting your ankle in the ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme 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).

Average | 4.2 |
Heel counter stiffness
The shoe's heel hold is phenomenal! We rated the heel counter with a maximum of 5 out of 5 for being super rigid.
It made us feel securely locked in at all times, no matter what maneuvers the game called for.

Midsole width in the forefoot
In the widest part of the forefoot, we measured this ASICS las shoe's sole at 105.3 mm. That's a pretty standard width across the board.

Flexibility
Stiffness
It was quite surprising for us to discover that with all that support, the asics las baskets vert femme 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 officiel Vapor Pro, for example.
That kind of pliability made the transitions feel very smooth and helped our footwork be more precise.

Grip / Traction
This ASICS las 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 indulge on a dime.
And that is exactly what we experienced with the ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme. With its efficient grip, moving quickly and changing directions rapidly felt very safe.
Size and fit

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 las baskets vert femme 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.

Our toes didn't feel cramped either as the toebox allowed enough space for splaying. Measuring its width around the big toe, we got a reading of 76.9 mm - also an average for tennis shoes.

With the shoe's Mono-Sock design, the tongue is fully integrated into the upper.
This kind of upper makes the shoe feel like an extension of your foot, wrapping around it for a secure fit. Actually, it felt like tying the laces wasn't even necessary.

Comfort
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 las baskets vert femme so cozy.

Heel tab
Given the shoe's bootie-like upper, it would've been very handy to have a pull tab or a loop to hold onto when getting the foot inside.

The ASICS las asics las baskets vert femme comes with a removable insole. It is easy to take out and replace with any other insert you need.
