About this product
The ASICS Novablast 5 is a men's training running shoe built around FF Blast Max cushioning, which delivers a lightweight, energetic ride with softer landings and a more responsive toe-off. The midsole and outsole geometry draws inspiration from a trampoline design to encourage a pronounced bounce-back feel underfoot. Total heel height measures 41.5mm and total forefoot height 33.5mm, producing a moderate 8mm drop suited to everyday training. The engineered jacquard mesh upper is designed for stretch and ventilation, while a tongue wing construction reduces tongue movement for a more secure fit. Ahar Lo outsole rubber provides traction, softness, and durability across varied surfaces. Reflective details support visibility in low-light conditions. On the sustainability side, at least 75 percent of the main upper material is recycled, and the sockliner uses a solution dyeing process that cuts water usage by roughly 33 percent and carbon emissions by roughly 45 percent compared to conventional dyeing. This colorway is Black with Carrier Grey, and customer feedback indicates the fit runs true to size.

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the ASICS Novablast 5 for its exceptionally plush, soft cushioning and surprisingly lightweight feel, with the new FF Blast Max foam delivering a noticeably softer and smoother ride than previous versions. Most agree it is an outstanding value for a max-cushion daily trainer, offering comfort comparable to pricier competitors. The upper fit is also widely noted as an improvement, with a secure, roomy feel that accommodates wider feet. The most common criticism is that the softer foam reduces responsiveness, making the shoe feel sluggish during faster efforts or speed workouts. Reviewers also flag reduced stability compared to earlier Novablast models, and note that wet-surface grip is merely adequate. It is broadly recommended for easy miles, recovery runs, and long slow distances, but not for runners seeking a snappier, more versatile shoe.
