About the Asics Upcourt 5

The Asics Upcourt 5 is a low-cost indoor court shoe from Asics. The soles are non-marking, so they are appropriate for both indoor and outdoor sports. Technically they are in Asics’s volleyball lineup, but they can be used for other sports as well.

I first spotted the Asics Upcourt 5 in 2022. This is the latest entrant in Asics’s low-cost Upcourt range, replacing the Asics Upcourt 4.

Asics Upcourt 5 Review

I ordered myself a pair of these to test out. Here’s my video review:

Pros

  • Inexpensive
  • Light
  • Good grip on court
  • Quick break-in time
  • Pretty good design

Cons

  • Durability
  • Insole is glued down

Bottom line, the Upcourt 5 had good grip right out of the box, and good lateral stability too. I like the cosmetics. These are inexpensive and I’m concerned about how they’ll hold up over time but for the price they are a really good deal in my opinion.
