ASICS Novablast 5 TR Men's Trail Running Shoes

The Novablast 5 TR is a great choice if you want a shoe with extra bounce. Lightweight and with more energy return than the previous version, it's designed to help you run faster. And it will leave you feeling energised every step of the way. With a specialised trail to road outsole, it'll take you where you want.

Engineered Jacquard Mesh Upper

Providing comfort on light trails and road running sessions, the Novablast 5 TR features a breathable, engineered mesh upper. This flexible, soft upper ensures constant comfort during wear, allowing you to focus on the journey ahead. With a flexible construction, the shoes wrap around your foot, providing the perfect fit and allowing you to enjoy every stride. Strategically placed perforations provide a constant supply of cool, fresh air, helping feet thrive under the pressures of your run and preventing overheating when the temperature rises. Quick-drying properties prevent feet from becoming uncomfortable due to sweat and moisture, keeping them dry during your run. The tongue wing construction helps improve the fit and reduce tongue movement, while the built-in stretch further assists the fit for optimum comfort and an irritation-free experience. Working alongside this, a lace-up system further keeps you secure and prevents in-shoe slippage, while heel pull tabs make for easy on/off. The uppers' seamless construction reduces hotspots and friction points, preventing irritation or chafing from occurring. Finally, the shoes feature small reflective elements to increase visibility in low-light conditions.

FF Blast Max Midsole

For cloud-like, bouncy wearing and super comfortable strides from start to finish of your run, the Novablast 5 TR utilises ASICS' most responsive FF Blast Max foam cushioning. This updated version enhances bounce by about 8.5% compared to previous models, ensuring even greater softness, comfort, and superior responsiveness. The foam delivers exceptional cushioning and energy return, protecting your joints while giving you the swift, flying sensation you desire in running shoes. This saves energy, enabling you to run longer and faster with less exertion. This has been combined with a generous stack height for maximum effect. Additionally, a plush sockliner is created using a solution dyeing method that conserves 33% more water and reduces carbon emissions by roughly 45% compared to traditional dyeing techniques.

AHAR LO Outsole

To ensure outstanding grip and traction on a variety of surfaces, the Novablast 5 TR features ASICS' AHAR LO rubber outsole. This is a low-density, high-abrasion rubber that is tough and is used in high-wearing areas, helping to prevent excessive wear. Keeping feet secure across rocky, bumpy trails and ensuring grip on road running surfaces, the outsole of the Novablast 5 TR is super-grippy, keeping you confident and ready to tackle a wide range of conditions. The trampoline-inspired outsole helps provide a more responsive bounce back for soft, cushioned landings and an enjoyable ride. Its hybrid outsole design provides enhanced resistance to wear and tear for comfort and grip from city to trail.

At least 50% of the shoe's upper is recycled. ASICS has also used less water and reduced their carbon emissions while producing the shoe's sockliner, insole, toe box, eyelet, tongue and collar lining, all made from recycled materials. Better for you, better for the environment.
