ASICS' new Novablast silhouette has released in a bold "Orange Pop" colorway ready for any and all spring runs. A lightweight, GEL-less runner designed for maximum speed and responsive comfort, the Novablast is a performance-focused design that's more than capable of holding its own as a daily lifestyle choice.
Bright creamsicle-style orange covers the entirety of the layered mesh base, while the fused eyestays and midfoot Tiger Stripes are dressed in a soft clamshell pink tone. The ultra-thin tongue contrasts the mesh upper's cut-out holes with its textured detailing, and minimal white laces tie everything together.
Sharply shaped midsoles are carved from white FlyteFoam, a proprietary ASICS tech that's also found on other popular models like the GEL-Kayano 26 — although, as mentioned above, there's no GEL here. A swooping streak of overt orange runs from midfoot to forefoot, and a small black FF Blast text hit provides a visual acknowledgement of the cushioning setup. Orange rubber outsoles finalize the style.
The ASICS Novablast "Orange Pop" is available now via the ASICS webstore, and retails for $130 USD.
