Features

Prepare for blast-off in the ASICS Novablast 5.

This high-cushioned daily trainer will take your run to new heights thanks to its trampoline-inspired outsole and new FF BLAST MAX foam that gives your runs a dynamic bounce and responsive energy return.

In our ASICS Novablast 5 review, wear-tester Mandy said, “The new FF BLAST MAX cushioning gave me the perfect combination of bounce and cushion while remaining lightweight.”

Details:

  • Upper: A jacquard mesh upper wraps your foot in slipper-like comfort while providing improved breathability and stretch. A padded heel collar holds your feet securely in place and prevents unwanted rubbing.
  • Midsole: New FF BLAST MAX foam delivers an enhanced bounce and responsiveness while maintaining the shoe's signature lightweight feel.
  • Outsole: The outsole retains its distinctive trampoline-inspired geometry that's made the Novablast series a favorite for many runners. A soft AHAR® LO outsole is durable and improves traction on a variety of surfaces.

These are my favorite running shoes I’ve ever had. They are incredibly comfortable, help with my over pronation, and are amazing no matter the distance I run.

Bouncy!

Amanda M 1 month ago Verified Purchase

I’m used to trail shoes and rarely run on roads, but these are extra bouncy and are such nice treat for when I’m running on flat trails.

First Time Asics

I have been running in the Saucony Triumph on all my easy runs for years now. I had been interested in trying Asics and decided to give them a shot when the Novablast was on sale. These are almost identical to the Triumph! Very springy and cushioned but light. Loved them from the first run and hope they last as long as Saucony shoes.

Gorgeous

This is my second pair of Novablast 5s, so I already knew they were perfect for me. This color is gorgeous and I am obsessed.

Best running shoe

Steffany C 1 month ago Verified Purchase

These are fantastic. This is the second pair I have purchased because I put a lot of miles on the first pair. These are comfy for long and short runs and I honestly find myself wearing them to work in all day as well because no other shoes I have compare. The shipping was so fast, I received them days earlier than I thought I would.
