ASICS Novablast 4 GS Junior Running Shoes

The Novablast 4 GS running shoe features a new midsole and outsole geometry that helps produce an energised ride. The shoe is reinforced with a toe rubber stitch, outsole phrase and wrap-up design outsole offering more stretch and added durability.

Engineered Mesh Upper

The double-engineered jacquard mesh upper is designed to wrap the foot like a second skin. The engineered mesh has a perforated construction that allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your little one's feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or their training session heats up. As well as radical ventilation, the double-layer construction delivers a premium fit that improves flexibility and decreases irritation-causing wrinkles (because we know how rubbing and blisters can ruin your day) while maintaining its lightweight. A gusseted tongue wing fit system offers an improved midfoot fit whilst reducing sliding of the tongue. The upper provides excellent comfort and support with a heel stabiliser that helps to support the foot further and create a more balanced stride. Completing the upper is a traditional lacing system that increases midfoot support to ensure a dynamic fit for all-day comfort.

FlyteFoam Blast Midsole

The Novablast 4 features a one-piece FlyteFoam Blast midsole. This midsole is softer and bouncier, providing a great feel from footstrike to toe-off. The soft and energetic nature of the midsole increases underfoot softness, enveloping the foot in a plush, supportive wrap. Its lightweight foam construction reduces drag allowing them to run faster for longer whilst creating a high energy return for increased bounce and unrivalled toe-offs. Resilient and innovative, FlyteFoam Blast technology lets your child run with the feeling that their feet aren't even touching the ground. FlyteFoam is the lightest cushioning material ASICS has ever made, 55% lighter than the industry standard, EVA and it buffers against the ground to protect from unnecessary stress and fatigue. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run, so they can train harder, more frequently, for longer without the worry the shoes might not be able to take it. A responsive underfoot ride makes the Novablast feel wispy and fast underfoot, an excellent choice for efficient runners who want to take their training to the next level.

AHAR Rubber Outsole

An AHAR Rubber Outsole provides twice the abrasion resistance of the traditional outsole rubber, for improved durability without sacrificing properties like traction. Supreme grip and traction are guaranteed with the AHAR outsole. ASICS' high abrasion rubber is a tough rubber compound used at heavy-contact or high wear areas which helps to cut down on excessive wear. The high abrasion outsole provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. Creating a strong bond with the ground beneath it, the outsole allows the wearer to stay in full control at all times. The trampoline outsole design and "Better your best" outsole phrase create a dynamic look.
