NOVABLAST 3

Daily Trainer2022-09-01 · Global · ReleaseChecked 2026-10-24

NOVABLAST 3 is a bouncy daily trainer for road mileage and longer sessions. FF BLAST PLUS replaces the previous foam, adding about 1mm of midsole depth while reducing weight. A recessed, trampoline-inspired sole supports rebound. Zoned engineered mesh and a tongue-wing construction refine fit, while a reinforced heel guides the stride and AHAR rubber adds durability.
