Novablast 4: Add bounce to every step

Lighter and with more energy return than the previous version, it's designed to help you run faster. And it will leave you feeling energised every step of the way. It's no surprise that it's the preferred training shoe among athletes. The shoe's FF BLAST™ ECO PLUS foam creates a softer, more energised running experience and provides extra bounce thanks to its trampoline-inspired outsole. Its unique design and fit and higher midsole will give you added energy return during your run. This shoe is designed with energy return in mind, and Asics has spent hours testing it at our Institute of Sports Science (ISS) in Japan. The NOVABLAST™ 4 running shoe includes additional technical features to support you during your runs.

Designed For NeutralUnderpronation

Neutral

• Foot Type: Normal size arches
• Push Off: There is even distribution from the front of the foot
• How your foot contacts the ground: The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight

Underpronation

• Foot Type: High arches
• Push Off: The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot
• How your foot contacts the ground: The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg
