Asics Novablast 5 TR Running Shoe

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"These feel like a trampoline underfoot—super bouncy but still stable enough for uneven terrain. The FF BLAST MAX foam is plush without feeling sluggish, and the trail outsole grips way better than I expected on mixed surfaces."When our runs take us from city streets to winding singletrack, we lace up the NOVABLAST 5 TR. Built with ASICS’ FF BLAST MAX cushioning, it delivers a unique blend of cloud-like softness and responsive rebound that keeps our stride feeling energized from first mile to last. The trampoline-inspired outsole design stores and releases energy with each toe-off, making every step feel lively and smooth.This version of the NOVABLAST is tuned for versatility, with a trail-specific outsole that offers grip across gravel paths, park loops, and light technical terrain. The engineered mesh upper adapts to the foot with breathable comfort, while tongue wing construction locks in the midfoot for a secure fit. With over 75% recycled content in the upper and a solution-dyed sockliner, it’s a performance trainer that runs lighter on the planet too.
