The NOVABLAST™ 5 EKIDEN running shoe's midsole and outsole geometry helps produce an energized ride.

FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning helps create softer landings and a more energized toe-off during your training.

A tongue wing construction in the upper helps improve the fit while reducing tongue movement.

Collection Inspiration: This collection pays homage to the Ekiden that takes place in Japan. Inspired by a sprout growing and a light turning green. These colourways inspire runners to go. It features a glitter spray effect that represents runners shining and reaching their potential.

Breathable engineered mesh upper – A lightweight, breathable mesh material helps reduce the need for additional overlays.

Tongue wing construction

FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning – One of our most energetic midsole foams that's complemented with cloud-like softness and a responsive energy return in each step.

Trampoline-inspired outsole pod – Our outsole and midsole design that captures more energy return for an enhanced foam bouncing effect during toe-off.

Reflective details – Visibility for enhanced nighttime and early-morning reflective brightness.

AHAR® LO outsole rubber – A lower-density rubber placed in key areas of the outsole for reliable grip and traction without sacrificing durability.

At least 50% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.
