![]() When you try something radically different, it often takes some time to get used to it. The shoe is very, very comfortable to step into, but it’s absurdly soft! It’s particularly extreme under the heel. Three weeks ago, when I first put on the Asics NOVABLAST shoes and walked around in them at home I thought, “this is not going to work, they’re just too soft.” What is the Asics NOVABLAST like to run in? Trampoline effect: The outsole design means that the centre can ‘sink down’ and then ‘spring back’. And there’s no doubt that the Asics NOVABLAST is a very soft, very springy and very fun shoe! We’re probably not quite there yet! But the exaggeration helps in understanding the effect. ![]() However, it’s significantly softer and much more bouncy!Īsics says the design provides what they describe as a ‘ trampoline effect’. The Asics NOVABLAST is not as stable or controlled as the Nimbus or Kayano, nor does it have the same rolling effect as the Asics EVORIDE or Asics GLIDERIDE. The Asics NOVABLAST has a relatively minimalist upper, which works well, and an extremely thick and soft midsole that isn’t stuffed with all kinds of different materials. If we look at bestsellers such as the Asics GEL-Nimbus and Asics GEL-Kayano, they are very complex and technical in their construction and they consist of numerous different materials and technologies. The shoe is much more simple and streamlined compared to what we are used to seeing from Asics. The Asics Novablast does not feel like a regular Asics running shoe in any way. Compare it with the Asics GEL-NIMBUS 22, with a stack height of just 25 mm / 15 mm. The stack height is 32 mm of foam under the heel and 22 mm under the forefoot, so there is a great deal of material under the foot. Just FLYTEFOAM Blast and a bit of FLYTEFOAM Propel in the middle of the heel to prolong the shoe’s life. Unlike almost all other Asics running shoes, the NOVABLAST contains no GEL cushioning material. Note the aggressive and fast-looking geometry of the midsole. That means it’s the shoe that gives back the most energy to the runner in every step! It’s a lightweight material that is super soft and super bouncy!Īsics NOVABLAST contains a large amount of FLYTEFOAM Blast, making it the Asics shoe with the highest energy return to date. With Asics NOVABLAST, Asics has introduced YET ANOTHER brand-new technology in the form of a new midsole foam called FLYTEFOAM Blast™. You can read more about it here: Asics EVORIDE – Energy-saving running shoes I’ll try to explain why in the following paragraphs.Īsics have recently introduced the new GUIDESOLE technology in the Asics GLIDERIDE and Asics EVORIDE, and the curved sole design and stiff forefoot reduce ankle flexion and create an easy, more efficient stride. If you use it in the phrase ‘ Having a blast’, it means to have fun.Īnd that’s exactly how Asics Novablast feels! It feels springy and very energetic underfoot (almost like an explosion) and it’s just really fun to run in! The word ‘BLAST’ (part of the name NOVABLAST) means ‘explosion’. The name expresses precisely what is so special about these running shoes. In my opinion, Asics has done an amazing job with this. I’ll start by looking at the name, NOVABLAST. Step aside, winter boots, there's a new shoe in town.Asics Novablast is the softest and springiest running shoe from Asics to date!
