Prepare for blast-off in the ASICS Novablast 5 Los Angeles 2026.

This high-cushioned daily trainer will take your race to new heights thanks to its trampoline-inspired outsole and new FF BLAST MAX foam that gives your runs a dynamic bounce and responsive energy return.

In our ASICS Novablast 5 review, wear-tester Mandy said, “The new FF BLAST MAX cushioning gave me the perfect combination of bounce and cushion while remaining lightweight.”

Details:

• Upper: A jacquard mesh upper wraps your foot in slipper-like comfort while providing improved breathability and stretch. A padded heel collar holds your feet securely in place and prevents unwanted rubbing.
• Midsole: New FF BLAST MAX foam delivers an enhanced bounce and responsiveness while maintaining the shoe's signature lightweight feel.
• Outsole: The outsole retains its distinctive trampoline-inspired geometry that's made the Novablast series a favorite for many runners. A soft AHAR® LO outsole is durable and improves traction on a variety of surfaces.
