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 as a highly versatile daily trainer, highlighting the upgraded FF BLAST MAX foam for delivering a fun, bouncy, trampoline-like ride that balances cushioning with responsiveness. The shoe is widely commended for its comfortable, plush fit that accommodates average to wide feet, and users appreciate that ASICS kept the price steady despite meaningful improvements over the previous version. The jacquard mesh upper earns points for breathability and a slipper-like feel. The most common criticisms are that the midsole can lose its cushioning feel relatively quickly with heavy mileage, traction on wet surfaces is underwhelming, and the bold, high-stack design is polarizing, making it a poor fit for runners who prefer a more ground-connected, minimal feel.
