Asics Novablast Platinum Running Shoes
Running is all about your beat, bounce, or rhythm. The Novablast shoe will help every runner find their rhythm, with a new FlyteFoam Blast midsole giving a springy, energetic ride from foot strike to toe-off. A shoe that's perfect for runners who want a fast-feeling everyday trainer. Part of the Platinum collection, this shoe is accented with polished hues throughout the design.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The engineered mesh upper is designed to wrap the foot like a second skin. Reinforcements are woven into the upper itself to provide support without the need for traditional stitched or welded overlays, resulting in improved breathability and a 'barely there' feel. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. A lacing system increases midfoot support to ensure a dynamic fit for all-day comfort and reflective details ensure visibility in low light.
FlyteFoam Blast Midsole
The Novablast running shoe's energetic underfoot ride comes from its one-piece FlyteFoam Blast midsole. This new foam is softer and bouncier, providing a great feel from footstrike to toe-off. This, combined with the soft and energetic nature of the midsole increases the underfoot softness, almost enveloping the foot in a plush, supportive wrap. The midsole of the Novablast is made up of multiple compounds to bring you a cushioned and explosive ride from stepping out to stepping in. Flytefoam Blast is the main cushioning compound used the Novablast because of its lightweight foam formulation and high energy return. Its lightweight foam construction reduces drag allowing you to run faster for longer whilst the elastomer creates high energy return for increased bounce and unrivalled toe-offs. Resilient and innovative, FlyteFoam Blast technology lets you run with the feeling that your feet aren't even touching the ground. FlyteFoam is the lightest cushioning material ASICS has ever made, 55% lighter than the industry standard, EVA and it buffers against the ground to protect you from unnecessary stress and fatigue. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run, so you can train harder, more frequently, for longer without the worry your shoes might not be able to take it. A responsive underfoot ride makes the Novablast running shoe feel wispy and fast underfoot, an excellent choice for efficient runners who want to take their training to the next level.
AHAR Rubber Outsole
An AHAR Rubber Outsole provides twice the abrasion resistance of the traditional outsole rubber, for improved durability without sacrificing properties like traction. Supreme grip and traction are guaranteed with the AHAR outsole. ASICS' high abrasion rubber is a tough rubber compound used at heavy-contact or high-wear areas which helps to cut down on excessive wear. The high abrasion outsole provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. Creating a strong bond with the ground beneath it, the outsole allows you to stay in full control at all times.
