The Asics Novablast 5 is built to transform your road running experience. The standout feature, FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning, provides a dynamic feel; it's soft enough to absorb impact comfortably but resilient enough to return energy, giving you that 'bouncy' sensation. This makes each stride feel less like work and more like a push forward.
The unique trampoline-effect design in the midsole works in harmony with the cushioning to promote a responsive rolling motion. This means your foot transitions smoothly from landing to toe-off, making your runs feel more efficient and less taxing, especially over longer distances. For example, during a 10km tempo run, you'll notice the consistent energy return helping maintain pace, or during a long-slow distance run, the comfort will keep fatigue at bay.
The breathable jacquard mesh upper ensures your feet remain comfortable, even on warm days or during intense efforts. It wraps around your foot, offering a secure, adaptive fit without feeling restrictive. Coupled with the redesigned AHAR rubber outsole, which provides reliable grip and extends shoe longevity, the Novablast 5 proves to be a durable and consistent partner for your daily mileage and more demanding training sessions.
Lacing: Ensure shoes are laced securely but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for optimal ankle support if needed.
Sock Choice: Wear appropriate running socks to enhance comfort and prevent blisters.
Break-in Period: While often comfortable from the first wear, a few short runs can help the shoes mold to your feet.
Target User: Ambitious adult male runners.
Terrain: Primarily designed for road surfaces (pavement, track).
Running Style: Suitable for neutral pronation, offering a balanced ride.
Cleaning:
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush).
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, using a soft cloth or sponge.
Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying:
Air dry at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers), which can warp materials.
You can stuff them with paper towels to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid crushing or distorting their shape when stored.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow cushioning to decompress and prolong shoe life.
