In 1977 the company merged with GTO and Jelenk to become ASICS — an acronym of Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, Latin for \"a sound mind in a sound body.\" GEL cushioning arrived in 1986; the Gel-Kayano launched in 1993, named after in-house designer Toshikazu Kayano. The modern foam arc, FF Blast+, FF Blast+ Eco, FF Turbo+, FF Turbo², FF Leap, continues a 75-year engineering culture that puts underfoot science before marketing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Tokyo Marathon 2025 colourway, Flash Red \/ Black, matched to the Asics home-market World Majors race in early March.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBest for:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy miles and Zone 2 volume\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong runs with occasional pick-ups\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTempo pick-ups and moderate-pace workouts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaily-trainer rotation for neutral runners\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst-time runners stepping up from a low-stack trainer\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e8 mm drop, 41.5 \/ 33.5 mm stack (men's) \/ 40.5 \/ 32.5 mm (women's), ~255 g men's \/ ~225 g women's (US 9 \/ US 8)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFF Blast MAX full-length midsole, lower-density, more open-cell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e~8.5% more bounce than the Novablast 4 (per Asics)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlared heel and trampoline-style midsole geometry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHAR LO outsole rubber\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlateless daily trainer, easy-to-tempo versatility in the neutral line\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColourway: Blue \/ Fade Purple\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizing: 6 \/ 6.5 \/ 7 \/ 7.5 \/ 8 \/ 8.5 \/ 9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove insoles and loosen laces after wet or muddy sessions and air-dry away from direct heat (no radiators, no dryers). Hand-clean uppers with cold water and a soft brush; use a mild detergent only if needed. Do not machine-wash, it degrades adhesives, compresses the midsole foam, and shortens the life of FF Turbo+, FF Turbo² and FF Leap super foams. Do not tumble dry, bleach or dry clean. Rotate between two pairs where possible, PEBA \/ A-TPU super foams rebound better when given 24 hours to recover between runs. Store at room temperature out of direct sun; heat and UV accelerate foam breakdown. Keep Gore-Tex models clean on the upper to maintain breathability; reproof the face fabric with a water-based DWR when water stops beading.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBundle \u0026amp; Save\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuild a bundle and save up to 10% off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/enroute.run\/collections\/bundles\"\u003eShop Bundle Builder\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asics","offers":[{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 6","offer_id":52718217920878,"sku":"1012B912-500-6","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 6.5","offer_id":52718217953646,"sku":"1012B912-500-6.5","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 7","offer_id":52718217986414,"sku":"1012B912-500-7","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 7.5","offer_id":52718209499502,"sku":"1012B912-500-7.5","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 8","offer_id":52718209532270,"sku":"1012B912-500-8","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 8.5","offer_id":52718209565038,"sku":"1012B912-500-8.5","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Blue \/ Fade Purple \/ 9","offer_id":52718209597806,"sku":"1012B912-500-9","price":190.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/1649\/2459\/files\/Womens-Novablast-5-Tokyo.png?v=1772688236","url":"https:\/\/checkout.enroute.run\/products\/womens-novablast-5-tokyo","provider":"enroute.run","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
