The ASICS Women's Novablast 5 Running Shoe offers a unique combination of comfort and performance. Designed with women's biomechanics in mind, this shoe ensures every run feels like a celebration.
Key Features
- FF BLAST™ MAX Cushioning: ASICS' softest, most responsive foam for plush landings and explosive energy return.
- Trampoline-Inspired Outsole Geometry: Creates a propulsive, springy feel tuned to women's gait.
- Engineered Jacquard Mesh Upper: Stretch ventilation and a feminine silhouette with a secure, comfortable fit.
- Tongue Wing Construction: Reduces tongue movement and enhances lockdown for a glove-like fit.
- Neutral Support: Best for runners with normal to high arches and a neutral stride.
- Lightweight and Versatile: Works for easy days, tempo runs, and long-run Saturdays.
The Novablast 5 is ideal for women seeking maximum energy return without sacrificing cushioning. Perfect for neutral runners logging 20–50 miles per week, it offers a playful alternative to traditional trainers.
Our Take
The fun one in the ASICS lineup. The Novablast's trampoline-style outsole and FF BLAST MAX foam give it a springy, playful ride that makes easy miles feel quicker. It's lighter and livelier than the Nimbus, softer than a race shoe, and a great second pair alongside a max-cushion trainer. Customers who find most daily trainers a little dull usually light up in this one.
