ASICS Performance Novablast 5 Ekiden

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 - ideal 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.

Collection & Inspiration: This collection pays homage 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 symbolises runners who shine and develop their full potential.

Details:

• Breathable, specially developed mesh upper material.
• A lightweight, breathable mesh material reduces the need for additional overlays.
• Tongue construction with lateral wings.
• FF BLAST MAX Cushioning: This high-energy midsole cushioning combines cloud-soft 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 increased spring-back 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.
