The ASICS Novablast 3 are neutral running shoes. This shoe has a double designed jacquard mesh upper which offers excellent comfort and support. The shoe is also breathable, so that your foot does not overheat while running. The upper is reinforced in strategic places for a good and comfortable fit. At least 75% of the shoe's upper is made from recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions. The FF BLAST PLUS cushioning creates a 'trampoline effect' as you run. This technology provides lightweight cushioning and responsive rebound. The heel stabilizer helps support the foot so you can create a more balanced stride. The outsole is made of AHARPLUS rubber. This sturdy rubber stands for durability and good grip. This material is placed exactly where you need it most on the sole, regardless of your running style. The Novablast 3 is also 30 grams lighter than the previous version. In addition, the reflective details improve visibility in low-light conditions.
