The ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers are designed to deliver a consistently energetic and smooth ride. The core of their performance lies in the FF BLAST PLUS ECO technology, which provides a springy sensation underfoot. For example, during a speed interval session, you'll feel the cushioning efficiently returning energy, propelling you forward with each stride. The lightweight construction, at just 210g, contributes to a feeling of effortless speed, making these shoes ideal for shaving seconds off your personal bests or maintaining a quick pace over short to medium distances. The breathable upper ensures your feet remain comfortable and fresh, even during intense workouts, adapting to your foot for a secure yet non-restrictive fit. The stable outsole offers reliable traction on urban environments like roads and track surfaces, ensuring you can push off confidently without slipping. They are particularly well-suited for runners who enjoy a lively, bouncy feel and want to add an extra 'pop' to their runs, whether for training or race day.
To get started with your ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers, simply lace them up to achieve a snug, secure fit without being overly tight. The breathable upper material is designed to adapt to your foot for personalized comfort over time. Ensure you wear appropriate running socks to enhance comfort and moisture management.
These trainers are specifically engineered for neutral runners. This means they are best suited for individuals whose feet do not excessively pronate (roll inward) or supinate (roll outward) during their stride. They perform optimally on asphalt surfaces, making them perfect for road running, track workouts, and city streets. While the stable outsole offers good grip, they are generally not recommended for rugged trail running or environments that require specialized off-road traction.
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your ASICS Novablast 5 Tokyo Trainers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of your shoes with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive materials. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning properties.
Drying: After cleaning or a wet run, remove the insoles and allow your trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, as this can cause materials to shrink or become brittle.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Longevity: Running shoes typically have a lifespan of 300-500 miles. Pay attention to signs of wear, such as diminished cushioning, reduced responsiveness, or excessive outsole abrasion, as these indicate it might be time for a new pair.
