Asics Novablast 5Asics Novablast 6

The Novablast 5 features FF Blast Max midsole foam designed to be softer and bouncier, while still retaining the same weight at the Novablast 4.

The shoe features a new Jacquard mesh upper instead of the previous woven material used in the Novablast 4, the aim being to improve the fit and ensure a good level of breathability.

The Asics Novablast 6 is a neutral daily trainer designed to deliver a soft, energetic ride for everything from easy miles to faster training sessions. The biggest update comes in the midsole, where FF Blast Max foam is paired with a new FF Turbo Squared trampoline pod in the forefoot to create a more cushioned feel with increased bounce through toe-off.
