Three things runners want from a daily trainer: comfort, responsiveness and versatility. The ASICS Novablast 6 delivers all three in a package that keeps getting better with every generation. A dual-foam midsole pairs the proven softness of FF BLAST™ MAX with the addition of FF TURBO² foam — borrowed from ASICS' higher-performance lineup — to create a lively, bouncy ride that feels smooth and protective at easy paces and naturally responsive when you decide to pick things up. The new trampoline pod under the forefoot gives the shoe a springy, energetic quality that makes transitions feel effortless without ever tipping into the stiff, rigid feel of a plated shoe. Details: Upper: A new engineered woven upper is noticeably breathable and does an impressive job managing moisture. The fit strikes a smart balance between secure and roomy, wrapping the foot with structure through the midfoot and heel while giving your toes enough space to stay comfortable deep into longer efforts. No hot spots, no break-in period, no irritation — just a soft, premium step-in feel right out of the box. Midsole: Dual-foam construction combines FF BLAST™ MAX for a soft, cushioned base with FF TURBO² foam at the forefoot for added bounce and energy return. The FF TURBO² trampoline pod creates a lively, responsive sensation underfoot that makes the Novablast 6 feel more refined and more fun than its predecessor — plush without being mushy, energetic without feeling stiff. Outsole: ASICSGRIP™ rubber at the forefoot delivers improved traction for confident footing on road surfaces at any pace.
