The folks at ASICS just released their Novablast 5 running shoea shoe marvel that’s essentially a comfortable energy drink for your feet – without the questionable ingredients and annoying mishaps later.

The latest iteration of the brand’s most fun shoes, the Novablast 5, features the extra-bouncy FF BLAST MAX, which recently debuted in the ASICS Glideride Max shoes.

The new foam apparently increases rebound by 8.5% over its predecessor, meaning you’re practically defying gravity every time you lace up.

With a breathable Jacquard mesh upper, an ASICS staple, the Novablast 5 is designed to keep your feet cool while bringing a little cheer to the entire gym.

Inspired by the Superblast line (see also: Asics Superblast 2 review), the new gusseted wing design on the tongue ensures a snug fit, so no more mid-sprint shoes – finally, the lockdown we didn’t know we needed.

“Visually, we wanted the design to mimic the dynamic experience of the wearer,” explained ASICS lead designer Yosuke Atarashi, meaning they made it as trippy as it looks, with a geometric midsole that gives your morning jog the vibe of running through a warp-speed kaleidoscope.

With a price tag of £135 (around $175 / AU$264) and a launch date of December 1, 2024, the Novablast 5 is set to give you more spring in your step just in time to reclaim the holiday fun .

Remember that you will have to wait until December to feel comfort and find energy. Or, as ASICS might say, work your way to 2025. Head over to ASICS to find out more.
