ASICS NOVABLAST 6 Women's Running Shoes
The ASICS NOVABLAST 6 Women's Running Shoes in Black / Black 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 provides a soft landing followed by an energetic toe-off for runners who enjoy a lively feel underfoot.
FF BLAST MAX foam forms the main midsole cushioning of the NOVABLAST 6. It softens the landing while retaining an energetic and responsive feel, giving you useful cushioning 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 creates 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. Grip through this area is particularly relevant at quicker paces, providing 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 women 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.
