Why Choose the NOVABLAST® 5 TOKYO?

Crafted for runners with normal to high arches, this shoe supports even distribution during push-off while minimizing shock transmission—ideal for preventing injuries like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, or ankle strains. Its neutral support and high cushioning make it a top choice for underpronation runners who land on the outside of the heel and need reliable shock absorption without overcorrecting.

Key Features and Benefits

• Energized Midsole and Outsole Geometry: FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning delivers responsive energy return and plush softness, paired with a trampoline-inspired outsole pod for enhanced bounce during toe-off—perfect for an invigorating training session.
• Breathable and Secure Upper: Engineered mesh upper provides stretch, ventilation, and reduced overlays for lightweight breathability. The tongue wing construction ensures a snug midfoot fit, minimizing tongue slippage for distraction-free runs.
• Durable Traction: AHAR® LO outsole rubber offers reliable grip in key areas, maintaining durability without added weight.
• Visibility and Safety: Reflective details improve low-light visibility, keeping you safe during early morning or evening runs.
