ASICS Novablast 4 Men's Running Shoe

The engineered woven upper offers advanced stretch, ventilation, and durability. The AHAR outsole rubber improves the outsole's durability, while the FF BLAST cushioning provides cloud-like comfort.

This product is suitable for road surfaces and has an 8mm heel drop, weighing 260g/9.2oz. It is designed for a neutral foot type, offering maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, where the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, can lead to issues such as plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches are more prone to this foot type.

In contrast, a neutral foot type lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. This foot type has normal-size arches and is less likely to experience injuries.

Overpronation, where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight, can result in conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often exhibit this foot type.

The product offers different protection benefits to suit various needs. For stability, it provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Similar shoes in this category include the GT-1000 and TRABUCO CUSHION.

For comfort, the shoe prioritizes cushioning for soft landings and impact absorption, helping maintain comfort on longer runs. The GEL-PULSE and TRABUCO MAX BOUNCE are similar shoes in this category.

For energy return, the shoe offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel with energy return that propels the user forward. The SUPERBLAST and DYNABLAST SPEED are similar shoes in this category.

For racing, the shoe provides a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and faster finish, helping conserve energy when every second counts. The METASPEED and MAGIC SPEED are similar shoes in this category.
