M Asics NOVABLAST 5 Ekiden

The NOVABLAST™ 5 EKIDEN running shoe's midsole and outsole geometry helps produce an energized ride.

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.

Collection Inspiration: This collection pays homage to the Ekiden that takes place in Japan. Inspired by a sprout growing and a light turning green. These colourways inspire runners to go. It features a glitter spray effect that represents runners shining and reaching their potential.
