ASICS Novablast 5

The NOVABLAST® 5 EKIDEN running shoe impresses with its innovative midsole and outsole geometry, providing a particularly dynamic and energetic running experience. The FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning ensures softer landings and a powerful, springy push-off with every step – ideal for intense training and long runs. The tongue construction with side wings enhances the fit of the shoe and reduces unwanted tongue movements for a more stable and comfortable wearing experience.

Collection & Inspiration: This collection is a tribute to the Ekiden, the legendary relay race in Japan. Its design is inspired by a sprouting seedling and the moment when a traffic light turns green – symbols of new beginnings and forward momentum. The glitter spray effect represents runners who shine and unleash their full potential.

Details: Breathable, specially designed mesh upper. A lightweight, breathable mesh material reduces the need for additional overlays. Tongue construction with side wings. FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning: Our most energetic midsole cushioning combines cloud-like landings with reactive energy return with every step. Trampoline-inspired outsole structure: The special design of the outsole and midsole stores energy and provides an enhanced rebound effect during push-off. Reflective details ensure better visibility and increased safety during runs at dusk or in the dark.

AHAR® LO outsole rubber: A low-density rubber in strategic areas of the outsole offers reliable grip and traction without sacrificing durability. At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made from recycled materials to reduce waste and CO₂ emissions.

Color: Vital Green/Black. Style No.: 1011C224.300.
