The ASICS Novablast 5 truly shines on the road, offering a distinctively energetic experience. The FF BLAST MAX foam in the midsole creates a 'trampoline effect' that propels you forward with each stride, making daily training runs feel lighter and more invigorating. Runners will notice the plush cushioning, which absorbs impact effectively without feeling overly soft, maintaining a sense of responsiveness. The HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole provides reliable traction, instilling confidence even on wet pavement, allowing you to maintain speed and control. The shoe's lightweight nature (approximately 225g) contributes to its agility, making it suitable for various paces, from easy recovery jogs to faster tempo efforts. Its neutral ride and 8mm heel-to-toe drop accommodate a wide range of footstrikes, while the engineered mesh upper ensures breathability and a secure, comfortable fit throughout your run.
Simply lace up your Novablast 5s, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Adjust the padded tongue for optimal comfort to prevent slippage. The engineered mesh upper is designed to conform to your foot, providing a secure and comfortable feel from the first wear.
These shoes are specifically designed for road running and are ideal for daily training, long runs, and even faster-paced sessions on paved surfaces. They are best suited for runners seeking a neutral ride and maximalist cushioning with a bouncy feel.
To extend the life of your Novablast 5 shoes, remove any loose dirt with a soft brush after each run. For deeper cleaning, gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Allow shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat or sunlight. Store them in a cool, dry place. Regularly check the outsole for embedded debris to maintain optimal traction.
