## Description

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 colorways inspire runners to go. It features a glitter spray effect that represents runners shining and reaching their potential.Breathable engineered mesh upperA lightweight, breathable mesh material helps reduce the need for additional overlays. Tongue wing constructionFF 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 podOur outsole and midsole design that captures more energy return for an enhanced foam bouncing effect during toe-off.Reflective details Visibility for enhanced nightime and early-morning reflective brightness.AHAR LO outsole rubberA lower-density rubber placed in key areas of the outsole for reliable grip and traction without sacrificing durability. At least 50% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.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.

Review: Better than my high expectations - Where have these been all my life? I now look at all my other shoes in disgust. I wish I could just wear these all the time. I took them straight out of the box and ran 6 miles at a tempo 8:30 pace. They were amazing and springy even though not worn in. I can't wait to keep training in these for my half marathon. But they are so comfortable just standing around in (and make you a bit taller). I have narrow feet and they work fine if I lace them properly. But they would be good for wider feet as well. I think they will be durable if you're not heal striking hard because they have enough of the thicker rubber along the bottom - not just soft foam. But they are very light weight. For the money you can spend on other shoes, I don't think you can ask for more at this price without getting carbon plate shoes that are only meant for race days. I'm in my 40s now and the knees and feet need more help. I wish I had found these long ago. They're so bouncy with the cushion but I still have enough feel for the road. These would not be great for lateral sports like tennis or basketball. But for running and walking... 5 stars.
Review: Daily trainer? - I’ve wanting to try the Novablast since version 3. I am glad to finally pulled the trigger. So far I have put on a little over 20 miles on this pair. First, these shoes seems true to size compared with most of my shoe rotation. The heel collar is nicely padded and the tongue is minimal but doesn’t create pressure on the top of the foot. The toe box is roomy with the upper material having some flexibility and fairly breathable. I am a little confused where to use this in my shoe rotation. I have a long run shoe (Saucony Triumph) and shoes for fast workouts (Saucony Speed 2). The Novablast 5 can take the place of both shoes but probably doesn’t give you quite the speed as the Speed 2. It definitely feels well cushioned and quite bouncy. The midsole has the tallest stack height I own measuring 41.5 mm. I think this can be a great all around shoes if you’re only looking for 1 pair of running shoes. I would definitely bring this on a trip because it would be great for walking and also doing a few moderately paced runs. I’m planning to use Novablast for tempo day workouts and maybe some longer runs just to protect the legs from getting too beaten up. I also own 2 pairs of carbon shoes (Nike Vaporfly and Saucony Pro) that I only use for running events. I think the Novablast 5 will suit a lot of runners due to the stability and being fairly lightweight. This shoes is also a great deal too in my opinion. A max cushion shoes usually runs in the $160 range and uptempo shoes will set you back about $170. Overall I’m happy with this purchase and think most people will be too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great pair for beginning runners
*by C***N on January 7, 2026*

As a newbie runner who had never owned a proper pair of running shoes, I was shocked by how comfortable these were. They feel like running on a cloud. There is little to no break in period. They offer good traction on pavement (haven’t tested trails), and seem to be a great value compared to other premium running sneakers. The colors were true to the image.
