At RUNNEA we have been talking for weeks about the positive impact that sport, and in particular running, has on our minds. At ASICS they identify it as the science of movement, and in this framework of physical and mental benefits produced by the practice of running, the Japanese brand includes the launch of a new update of one of its most acclaimed models: ASICS Novablast 2, a daily training shoe that will surprise you, no matter where you look at it.
The innovative Mind Uplifter tool has been unveiled to lead world-first research into how your mood changes before and after a run. With this purpose of stimulating the mind in every kilometer run, the renowned Japanese brand is launching a new version of the ASICS Novablast 2, a Running shoes that helps you run faster and with great lightness and elasticity, but also without giving up running safely and comfortably. The idea is to "move the world" with more dynamic and better cushioned runs, and the Novablast 2 can be your great allies in this positive trend of mindfulness, applied to running.
In fact, this model is one of the references in the powerful CELEBRATION OF SPORT collection from ASICS. Hence the words of Napoleon Solomon, three-time Swedish steeplechase champion and Swedish 10,000-meter champion, should be heeded: "I have found energy through running, it has had an incredibly positive impact on my life".
Of course, if you're thinking about getting a running shoe that will help you reach your training goals, these ASICS Novablast 2 are a sure bet and won't let you down. In addition to a more balanced and stable stride, there's also a lighter and smoother feel to each stride, which translates into a more responsive ride. That is, who said a daily training shoe can't have great energy return? These ASICS Novablast 2 are the answer, and with the added valor that it's an option suitable for any type of neutral-footed runner.
At RUNNEA we have not yet tested it, but in the absence of the detailed review, the key points in these Novablast 2 are located in:
In this sense, it is necessary to go into the details of these ASICS Novablast 2. Starting with its midsole, the silhouette implements an evolved FlyteFoam Blast foam to reinforce those softer and more responsive propulsion footstep sensations.
Regarding its upper, the shoe's upper is configured with a double Jacquard mesh, which ensures a high level of breathability, but also offers the necessary support at every movement. It seeks not to lose that feeling of running at faster paces.
While in the outsole, these ASICS Novablast 2 use the exclusive AHAR+ compound, which the Japanese brand itself has no qualms in stating that it offers twice the resistance of its more traditional rubber. Not only is durability increased, but emphasis is also placed on reinforcing traction.
Every new update requires a look back, and the improvements that these Novablast 2 propose over their original version of the ASICS Novablast are worth taking into account because they come to improve the running experience in every workout.
One of the bets of these ASICS Novablast 2 is to change its geometry from the more standard 10 millimeters drop to a lower profile of 8 millimeters. A change that results in a more balanced, smooth and comfortable stride. The FlyteFoam Blast foam, soft and with more volume, also contributes to this change, and has served to set the way forward for the latest generation of ASICS models.
Something seen in its previous version, but which is of special interest is the characteristic design of the sole, like a rocker, capable of improving the degree of rebound.
On the other hand, it has also been chosen to provide a greater degree of stability in a strategic point such as the heel, reinforcing that softer tread. All this takes the Novablast saga to a new level in a training shoe, whose aspirations are to become one of the best-selling models and occupy a prominent place in the ranking of the best shoes 2021.
We can't close this post without referring to the spectacular design of these ASICS Novablast 2. As we have already mentioned, this silhouette is included in the exclusive CELEBRATION OF SPORT collection. Its details stand out, and the different vibrant shades are associated with that idea of positivism that sport transmits and makes us feel every runner with Running shoes on.
Of course, the most positive aspect of these ASICS Novablast 2 has been that the product developers of the Japanese brand have been able to listen, collect and reflect the different demands that their loyal fans have made on this model to introduce changes without altering the identity of the shoe. It goes from a good shoe to an excellent shoe.
Thanks to their high level of cushioning and responsiveness, these Novablast 2 are ideal for high-intensity training, long runs and even recovery races. Designed for neutral runners for all distances, as well as for a variety of paces. The iconic New Balance 1080 v11, Nike Pegasus 38, Mizuno Wave Rider 25 and HOKA ONE ONE Mach 4 now have a new direct rival: ASICS Novablast 2.
