ASICS Novablast 5 Women’s Running Shoes
The ASICS Novablast 5 Women’s Running Shoes are built for runners who want a lively, responsive feel underfoot without loading up on weight. This latest update delivers more bounce and energy return than the previous version, making it a strong option for daily road running, training sessions, and longer efforts.
The standout is FF BLAST MAX cushioning, which softens impact while giving you a springy toe-off that keeps your stride feeling smooth and efficient. Paired with the trampoline-inspired outsole, the shoe helps return energy with each step so you stay moving forward with less effort. It’s no surprise this model is a popular training choice among runners who value comfort and responsiveness.
An engineered jacquard mesh upper improves airflow, helping keep your feet cool on warm runs or higher-mileage days.
