ASICS Novablast

ASICS Novablast 6 For anyone who wants running to feel lively, the Novablast is built around bounce, with a soft heel and a forefoot pod of FF Turbo2 foam. It is light for its cushioning at about 8.8 oz in a men's size, and new ASICSGRIP rubber makes the outsole stickier. The 8 mm drop tips you noticeably forward and some testers found the forefoot firm, so it suits steady, moderate paces better than a slow shuffle. The fit is secure and true to size. List price $155.
