Men's Novablast 5 Ekiden

The Novablast 5 is Asics' bouncy daily trainer — FF Blast MAX full-length, the lower-density, more open-cell foam that lifts rebound ~8.5% over Novablast 4. A flared heel, a trampoline-style midsole and AHAR LO under the outsole carry the ride from easy miles into tempo pick-ups. The everyday bouncy shoe across the Asics neutral line. Ekiden colourway, a tribute to Japan's relay-marathon tradition (the Hakone Ekiden calendar, Jan 2-3, running every year since 1920).
