ASICS Novablast 5 LITE-SHOW Men's Running Shoes
Designed to help you run faster, the ASICS Novablast 5 LITE-SHOW are a preferred training shoe among athletes. With a FF BLAST MAX midsole for added energy return alongside its trampoline-inspired outsole for extra bounce, it will leave you energised every step of the way. The LITE-SHOW version of the Novablast 5 provide excellent reflective properties.
Engineered Jacquard Mesh Upper
To ensure maximum breathability while on the go, the Novablast 5 LITE-SHOW feature a lightweight and airy design. Utilising Engineered Jacquard Mesh, the upper provides added comfort due to keeping feet cool during training and intense activities. Securing the foot, the durable yet flexible material promotes a comfortable, snug ride and allows your feet to move without restriction and heightening performance. The seamless design reduces irritation and chafing for a distraction free running experience, and mitigates in-shoe slippage. This diminishes moisture build-up to keep your feet feeling fresh throughout difficult runs, allowing air circulation due to the perforations on the fabric. The knit rib collar on the shoe, alongside heel pull tabs allows for easy step-in comfort. Featuring a gusseted tongue wing fit system, you will find an improved midfoot fit meaning a reduction in tongue sliding which works with the laces for a secure fit. Completing the look of the shoes, the extensive reflective details on the upper help improve visibility in low light settings.
At least 79% of the shoe's upper is recycled. ASICS have also used less water and reduced their carbon emissions while producing the shoe's sockliner, and the insole, toe box, eyelet, tongue and collar lining are all made from recycled materials. Better for you, better for the environment.
FF BLAST MAX Midsole
Utilising FF BLAST MAX technology, ASICS revolutionised cushioning the Novablast 5, offers a lighter and more responsive ride whilst not compromising durability or support. The midsole features a higher stack and extra cushioning meaning less drag and greater spring and toe-off to keep you moving naturally. Efficiently propelling you towards your next goal with a trampoline-like effect, this midsole keeps you prepared for long miles. This offers high energy return due to the responsiveness in the foam, keeping you going on longer runs all the while maximising comfort underfoot. With a unique geometric design, this midsole ensures great shock absorption, reducing impact injuries when striking down on less forgiving surfaces.
AHAR LOW HARDNESS Outsole
ASICS AHAR technology signifies outsole materials that provide excellent grip on road surfaces and ensures stability underfoot. Enhanced resistance to wear and tear means a longer life span to keep you on your feet and reliant on your shoes. All the while not sacrificing comfort due to a soft feel and trampoline inspired outsole design, providing a more responsive bounce back. Specifically utilised in areas of high wear, the grippy rubber provides traction where it is most needed whilst reducing the overall weight of the shoe.
