White with dive blue is the cleanest treatment the third Novablast received, and the flared midsole is the first thing you see in it. That shape is functional. The original Novablast had drawn consistent criticism for feeling unstable, and version three answered by widening the platform and building up the sidewalls around the foot, alongside a millimetre of extra stack at both ends. The foam changed too: FF Blast Plus in place of FF Blast, softer and bouncier by the brand's own measure, and an upper rebuilt in more breathable material largely from recycled content. What the line has never lost is its founding idea: a tall slab of high-rebound foam over an outsole geometry ASICS described in terms of a trampoline, introduced in 2020 as the answer to a range better known for structure than spring.
