ASICS Novablast 2

Offering dynamic rebound and high levels of cushioning the ASICS Novablast 2 in Clay Grey/Shocking Orange has had almost every element of its build tweaked and improved for an even higher level of performance.
The ASICS Novablast 2 uses the same incredibly bouncy Flytefoam Blast midsole as the original, but a new double groove pattern along the wall allows for improved compression, and even more energy release.

The trampoline shape of the outsole has also been improved, with modified outsole pods the spring and extra bounce that the outsole can provide has been improved.

The double engineered jacquard upper provides a superior performance with a highly breathable feel it also offers excellent comfort and support. It works together with the improved TPU heel support to provide a more balanced stride.

When you want to take on your route with a bit of extra bounce in your step, the Novablast 2 is designed to help you on your way with a responsive and cushioned feel.

NOVABLAST

Bouncy, energetic, and straight-up fun, the ASICS NOVABLAST is a shoe you’ll reach for again and again. Offering a soft, plush ride and fantastic looks whatever colour you choose, it lets you step out with a smile on your face.

Extra Cushioning

Featuring extra-deep stacks of midsole foam, extra-cushioned shoes offer improved impact absorption, comfort, and even performance. With modern foams providing energy return through your stride, the more foam under your foot, the bigger the spring forward. The trade-off of extra foam is additional weight and reduced ground feel. It can also be expensive to create and stabilise so much foam.

ASICS

Creators of one of the first marathon-specific shoes back in 1953, ASICS have a firmly established history in running, with their reputation for technical excellence spreading far beyond the borders of their home base in Japan.

They remain hugely successful in the 26-mile distance, where their renowned GEL technology is popular for its ability to absorb impacts and help reduce injuries.

ASICS also produce excellent shoes for overpronators, as embodied by their flagship series, the Kayano, a long-distance structured shoe that’s been keeping runners comfortable since ’93. 

Their newer Fast series includes the explosive Novablast. Ditching the slightly heavier GEL for lightweight but propulsive materials, they make the most of every moment over shorter distances.

Neutral

This shoe is a neutral running shoe, ideal for runners with a natural gait or mild underpronation. It's designed to offer cushioning and flexibility without additional stability or motion control features found in structured shoes. The midsole is made with lightweight, responsive materials, providing a good balance between cushioning and ground feel. It allows your foot to move more freely, following its natural motion during each stride. The upper provides a comfortable, snug fit without constraining your foot. If you have a natural gait and seek a shoe that combines cushioning, comfort, and freedom of movement, this neutral running shoe is for you.

Road Running

It might say road, but we don’t just mean pounding closed-off streets on race day. Road shoes are predominantly for the pavement.


They feature flat rubber traction for confident footing in the city and enhanced cushioning to soak up the strain of every stride.

Best for Tempo Runs

Tempo runs are a type of training that involves running at a higher pace than normal for a shorter session, and, as such, Tempo shoes are built for fast training.

They’re designed to offer both speed and durability, hitting a sweet spot between lightness, energy return, and comfort.


You can expect them to soak up more miles than your race day shoe and offer more speed than your daily trainers.
