ASICS Performance NovaBlast 5

The NovaBlast 5 Ekiden running shoe impresses with its innovative midsole and outsole geometry, which provides a particularly dynamic and energised running sensation. The FF Blast MAX cushioning ensures softer landings and a powerful, springy impact with every step - good for intensive training and long runs. The tongue construction with lateral wings improves the fit of the shoe and reduces unwanted movement of the tongue for a more stable and comfortable feel. Details: Breathable, engineered mesh upper. A lightweight, breathable mesh material reduces the need for additional overlays. Tongue construction with side wings. FF Blast MAX Cushioning: Our most energy-loaded midsole cushioning combines cloud-soft landings with reactive energy return with every step. Trampoline-inspired outsole structure: The design of the outsole and midsole stores energy and provides an increased rebound effect on impact. Reflective details ensure better visibility and increased safety when running at dusk or in the dark. AHAR LO outsole rubber: A low-density rubber in strategic areas of the outsole provides 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.
