The new ASICS Running Novablast 6 makes its way into both shops today!!

A new forefoot cushion of FF Turbo^2 up front adds some extra pep to your step, and a slightly different upper/tongue that feels even better on my foot than v5 somehow. To my feet, it’s a bit more reigned in as far as softness goes, but that’s no complaint on my end. I feel like it took me 10-20 miles to get comfy with them, and it was a similar case for the new Superblast 3, so excited to try them out!

Tbd if I’ll run in them pre-Boilermaker or if I can run without achilles pain post-Boilermaker, but I’ll get to them eventually!

A minor update to a big (wide?) shoe; the Escalante 5!

Minor updates to a great do-it-all shoe, but mainly sees the tongue get a bit softer, slight improvement to the outsole rubber coverage, and a sleek new upper design. These have been a go to for me in the shop, and while my achilles won't let me run in them comfortably, I do love them for everything else.
