Additional details
SONICBLAST™
The SONICBLAST™ combines a first layer of FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, already present on the NOVABLAST® 5, with a super-bouncy FF TURBO™ SQUARED foam. In between, the ASTROPLATE™ , a lightweight Pebax plate, provides forward momentum, without the stiffness of a carbon plate. The result: a fast, everyday shoe for long distances with comfort and responsiveness.
MEGABLAST™
The MEGABLAST™ model offers the most bounce in the series, while being the lightest. It relies on full-length FF TURBO™ SQUARED cushioning. The trampoline effect is enhanced by an ASICSGRIP™ sole for optimal grip, and an engineered mesh upper that ensures breathability and comfort throughout the run.
