About this product
The ASICS Novablast 5 is a women's training running shoe built around FF Blast Max cushioning, which works to soften landings and deliver an energetic toe-off. The midsole and outsole geometry are shaped to produce a responsive, bouncy ride, reinforced by a trampoline-inspired outsole design. Total heel height measures 40.5mm and total forefoot height comes in at 32.5mm, giving the shoe a notably cushioned platform underfoot. The upper is constructed from an engineered jacquard mesh that provides stretch and ventilation, while a tongue wing construction reduces tongue movement for a more secure fit. Ahar Lo outsole rubber contributes traction, softness, and durability across varied training 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 approximately 45 percent compared to conventional dyeing methods. Customers report the fit runs true to size. Colorway: White and Piedmont Grey (SKU 1012B765).

What people are saying
Reviewers consistently praise the ASICS Novablast 5 for its plush, bouncy ride, calling it a fun and energetic daily trainer that handles easy miles and moderate-paced runs with ease. The upgraded FF BLAST MAX foam is widely noted as softer and more cushioned than previous versions, while the lightweight build (around 7.9 oz for women) earns frequent compliments. Fit is described as relaxed yet secure, accommodating average to wide feet. The most common criticisms are that the midsole can compress and lose its bounce relatively quickly, particularly for heavier runners, and that traction in wet conditions is poor. Some runners also find it too soft and lacking the responsiveness needed for speed work or long runs.
