NOVABLAST 4

Daily Trainer2023-12-01 · Global · Release dateChecked 2026-10-24

NOVABLAST 4 is a bouncy daily trainer for road mileage and longer runs. Full-length FF BLAST PLUS ECO works with a thicker big-toe push-off area and a broader heel contact zone. An engineered woven upper replaces the previous mesh, adding stretch and ventilation, while an updated tongue-wing construction limits movement. AHAR LO rubber completes the revised outsole geometry.
