NOVABLAST 2

Daily Trainer2021-06-02 · Global · Release dateChecked 2026-10-23

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.
