ASICS NOVABLAST™ 5 TR Running Shoes - Energised Bounce for Any Surface
The ASICS NOVABLAST™ 5 TR brings the energised, bouncy ride of the NOVABLAST™ 5 to mixed terrain and off-road running. The midsole and outsole geometry work together to produce an energised ride across gravel, dirt, and varied surfaces, delivering the same lively feel that defines the NOVABLAST™ series whilst adding the grip and protection needed beyond smooth tarmac.
FF BLAST™ MAX Cushioning for All Terrain
FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning creates softer landings and a more energised toe-off during your training, maintaining the cloud-like softness and responsive energy return that makes the NOVABLAST™ series distinctive. The trampoline-inspired outsole geometry captures more energy return, turning ground contact into forward propulsion even on uneven terrain. Whether you're on gravel paths, dirt tracks, or mixed surfaces, the ride stays lively and engaging.
Enhanced Traction and Secure Fit
AHAR™ LO outsole rubber creates better traction and improved softness across various terrain types. This lower-density rubber provides reliable grip without sacrificing durability, whilst maintaining the energised feel underfoot. A tongue wing construction in the upper improves the fit whilst reducing tongue movement, keeping the shoe secure and comfortable across longer runs on varied surfaces.
Breathable Upper with Sustainable Construction
A breathable engineered mesh upper reduces the need for additional overlays, keeping weight minimal whilst managing airflow effectively. Reflective details provide visibility during early morning and evening runs. At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions, whilst the sockliner uses a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technology.
