Asics Novablast 6 Men's Running Shoes

ASICS NOVABLAST 6 Men's Running Shoes

The ASICS NOVABLAST 6 Men's Running Shoes are lightweight, responsive running shoes designed for uptempo training, light interval sessions and shorter race-day distances. Combining FF BLAST MAX cushioning with an FF TURBO SQUARED forefoot trampoline pod and ASICSGRIP outsole rubber, the NOVABLAST 6 is designed for runners who enjoy a soft landing followed by an energetic, lively toe-off.

FF BLAST MAX foam forms the main midsole cushioning of the NOVABLAST 6. It is designed to soften each landing while retaining an energetic and responsive feel, giving runners cushioning underfoot without taking away from the lively character of the shoe.

Under the forefoot, ASICS uses an FF TURBO SQUARED trampoline pod to increase energy return at toe-off. Working alongside the FF BLAST MAX midsole, it helps create a more responsive transition through the front of the shoe when you increase the pace during faster training sessions.

ASICSGRIP outsole rubber is positioned beneath the forefoot to improve traction. Reliable grip through this area is particularly useful when running at quicker paces, giving you a more confident platform as you load the forefoot and push through into your next stride.

The NOVABLAST 6 is positioned for uptempo running, light interval sessions and shorter race distances. Its lightweight construction, energetic cushioning and responsive forefoot make it a versatile option when you want to pick up the pace without moving away from the softer cushioning associated with the NOVABLAST range.

Who is the NOVABLAST 6 best for?

The ASICS NOVABLAST 6 is best for runners looking for a lightweight, bouncy running shoe for uptempo sessions, light intervals and shorter race-day distances. It particularly suits runners who prefer a softer landing followed by an energetic toe-off rather than a flat or firm ride.

What should you consider before buying?
