ASICS Novablast 5: The Softest, Smoothest, Most Versatile Yet

Lightweight, plush, and endlessly versatile — the ASICS Novablast 5 continues to dominate the daily training scene with its latest and most refined version to date. Whether you're heading out for an easy recovery run, tempo session, or long-distance mileage, this shoe delivers the rare combination of comfort and performance, built into a design that just feels good on your feet.

Now featuring ASICS’ lightest and most responsive training foam yet, FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO, the Novablast 5 provides a softer underfoot experience with more bounce than ever before. This full-length midsole delivers a trampoline-like energy return with every stride, while the updated rocker geometry helps create a smoother, more efficient transition from landing to toe-off.

The upper has also seen a notable upgrade: a sleek engineered jacquard mesh that’s stretchy, breathable, and durable, with a modern look and a snug midfoot wrap for improved lockdown. Underneath, ASICS' AHAR™ LO rubber outsoleoffers soft-yet-durable traction to keep you moving confidently, mile after mile.

From the first step to the final cooldown, the Novablast 5 makes running feel easier, smoother, and more fun — and that’s why it's one of the most beloved trainers in the world.
