Men's Novablast 5 Asics Track Club

The NOVABLAST® 5 ATC running shoe's midsole and outsole geometry that helps produce an energized ride. Its colorway is inspired by 1980s track suits and running shoes.

FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning helps create softer landings and a more energized toe-off during your training.

A tongue wing construction in the upper helps improve the fit while reducing tongue movement. It's complemented with an engineered mesh upper that offers more stretch and ventilation

Pronation

Neutral:

• Foot Type
  Normal size arches
• Push Off
  There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
• Considered Injuries
  Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
• How your foot contacts the ground
  The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Underpronation:

• Foot Type
  High arches
• Push Off
  The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
• Considered Injuries
  Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
• How your foot contacts the ground
  The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.

Tech & Materials:

• Breathable engineered mesh upper
  A lightweight, breathable mesh material helps reduce the need for additional overlays. 
• Tongue wing construction
  A tongue feature that provides a comfortable and secure feel around the midfoot while reducing tongue movement.
• FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning
  One of our most energetic midsole foams that's complemented with cloud-like softness and a responsive energy return in each step.
• Trampoline-inspired outsole pod
  Our outsole and midsole design that captures more energy return for an enhanced foam bouncing effect during toe-off.
• AHAR® LO outsole rubber
  A lower-density rubber placed in key areas of the outsole for reliable grip and traction without sacrificing durability.

The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology

At least 75% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions
