Vibrant Mesh Running Shoes

ASICS Introduces a New Stark Color of the NOVABLAST TOKYO Sneaker

ASICS launches the new NOVABLAST TOKYO sneaker model, which retains the design components to make it a functional running shoe. It is elevated with a color palette that cannot be missed, rooted in the fusion of Sunrise Red and Black.

The word "TOKYO" also details the sneaker and can be seen at the lateral quarter by the back of the shoe to honor the brand's heritage. The colorway is also true to its Japanese roots, celebrating the vibrant sunrise of the city. The upper is made from jacquard mesh materials to deliver breathability and is done in the Sunrise Red color before accented with synthetic black overlays on top for the stripe motif branding detail.
