Outfitter's Note: this is a UNISEX-sized shoe. Men's sizes are shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below their standard running shoe size. For example: for a women's size 9.5 shoe, order a size 8. 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.

I really like them however a few spots on them aren’t put together well. They seemed more rushed than my other Novablast. I love the color and the fit. Still love them
