ASICS NOVABLAST 6 Running Shoes

The ASICS NOVABLAST 6 is a lightweight, responsive running shoe designed for uptempo training, light interval sessions and shorter race-day distances. Its combination of energetic cushioning, a forefoot trampoline pod and added outsole grip makes it a strong option for runners who enjoy a soft landing followed by a lively toe-off.

FF BLAST MAX foam forms the main midsole cushioning. It is designed to soften each landing while providing the energetic feel that has made the NOVABLAST range hugely popular with runners.

A FF TURBO SQUARED trampoline pod is positioned under the forefoot. This works with the midsole foam to increase energy return at toe-off, helping the shoe feel responsive when you lift the pace during faster training sessions.

ASICSGRIP outsole rubber is used beneath the forefoot to improve traction. This gives runners a more confident platform as they push through the front of the shoe, particularly during quicker running where reliable grip matters.

Who is the NOVABLAST 6 best for?

The NOVABLAST 6 is best for runners who want a lightweight, bouncy shoe for uptempo runs, light intervals and shorter race-day distances. It suits runners who value soft landings and an energetic toe-off rather than a flat or firm ride.

What should you consider before buying?

This model is supplied in a standard men’s D width. Runners who usually need extra room should check whether a wider 2E or 4E fitting is available rather than assuming the standard version will suit.

The NOVABLAST 6 is officially positioned for uptempo training, light intervals and shorter race distances. If you need footwear for a different running environment or a more specialised purpose, speak with our team before choosing your shoe.

Cushioning

The material that absorbs the impact against the ground. The more cushioning utilised, the softer a shoe will feel underfoot.

Neutral Support

Normal sized Arches.
During push off there is an even distribution from the front of the foot.
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward to absorb the shock and support body weight.

Drop

The difference from the heel of the shoe to the forefoot.
Shoes with a higher heel drop tend to be preferred by runners that land heel-first.
Shoes with a lower heel drop are often favoured by forefoot or midfoot strikers.
