NOVABLAST 2

Daily TrainerPlanned release 2021-06-02Global

NOVABLAST 2 keeps the original's bouncy daily-training character while refining stability. Full-length FLYTEFOAM BLAST pairs revised grooves and sole angles with a wider midfoot contact area and a new TPU heel stabilizer. Engineered mesh and a connected tongue improve ventilation and fit. AHAR Plus rubber completes a build also suited to shorter, energetic road runs.

Daily, Long run

Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
The exact ASICS US men's page directly lists275g without stating a sample size. The third-party-hosted ASICS Canada catalog's264g is a separate catalog figure; identical sample conditions are not assumed.
Plate note
Complete exact US construction identifies FLYTEFOAM BLAST, a heel stabilizer, AHAR Plus and mesh without carbon. Global press names the heel stabilizer's TPU material; that is not confirmation of a propulsion plate. Retain false on complete construction evidence.
