The ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers are designed for road runners seeking an energetic and comfortable ride, offering a highly responsive feel ideal for speed training and achieving personal bests. While excelling in energy return and ventilation, they are optimized specifically for road surfaces and neutral support runners.
FF BLAST™ MAX Cushioning: Provides an exceptionally lightweight and energetic ride with a trampoline-like effect, ensuring softer landings and powerful toe-offs.
Engineered Mesh Upper: Offers superior breathability and stretch, keeping feet cool and reducing tongue movement for an improved, secure fit.
Trampoline-Inspired Outsole Design: Contributes to a highly responsive bounce-back, enhancing propulsion with every stride.
AHAR LO Outsole Rubber: A low-hardness abrasion-resistant rubber that significantly enhances the outsole's durability and resistance against wear and tear.
Tongue Wing Construction: Integrated into the upper to help improve the overall fit and further reduce any unwanted tongue slippage during your run.
Reflective Details: Strategically placed elements designed to increase visibility for runners in low-light conditions.
Sustainable Materials: At least 75% of the main upper material is made from recycled content, and the sockliner uses a solution dyeing process, significantly reducing water usage and carbon emissions.

The ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers are engineered for an exhilarating running experience on asphalt and paved surfaces. The core of their performance lies in the FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, which creates a distinct 'trampoline effect' underfoot. This means each stride feels more responsive, providing a powerful push-off and softer landing, making them excellent for picking up the pace.
Ideal for:
Speed Training: The lightweight and energetic design makes them perfect for interval sessions, tempo runs, and pushing your speed limits.
Short to Medium Distance Races: Their responsive nature helps translate effort into forward momentum efficiently, suitable for races where you're aiming for a personal best.
Daily Energetic Runs: For those who enjoy a lively feel during their regular training, the Novablast 5 Tokyo offers consistent comfort and bounce.
The engineered mesh upper ensures that even during intense efforts, your feet remain cool and well-ventilated, preventing discomfort from overheating. The secure fit provided by the tongue wing construction prevents distractions, allowing you to focus purely on your run. With an 8mm heel drop and neutral support, these trainers cater to a wide range of runners looking for an uninhibited, fast-paced experience.
Using your ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers is straightforward. Simply put them on, ensure the laces are tied comfortably but securely, and you're ready to run. Allow a few runs to break them in, though the soft cushioning generally feels comfortable from the first wear.
Surface: Primarily designed for road running (asphalt, paved surfaces).
Runner Type: Best for neutral pronation. If you require significant stability or motion control, these shoes may not be the optimal choice.
Gender/Age: Adult male footwear, but suitable for anyone fitting the size and seeking neutral road trainers.
Size: Available in UK 10 (and other sizes).
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your trainers.
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth immediately after your run. Avoid harsh brushes or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the upper material.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Insoles: Remove and air out the EVA sockliner periodically to help prevent odors.
Product Label: Always refer to the specific care instructions on the product label for detailed guidance.
