If you’re new to the Bounce category, here’s a quick guide to the full lineup in their most recent iterations:

A speed-focused daily trainer which adds new, ultra-lightweight FF TURBO™ SQUARED foam and an ASTROPLATE™ for forward propulsion.

Supercharged and built to reduce leg fatigue over long distances with FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning.

A high-performance trainer with the lightest weight in the category and full-length FF TURBO™ SQUARED cushioning for next-level bounce.

Tech specs

With the SONICBLAST™ shoe, comfort meets sonic speed. It starts with a layer of FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, the same energized material found in the NOVABLAST® 5 shoe. Next, we included a layer of new FF TURBO™ SQUARED foam for advanced comfort and bounce. In between the two layers is our ASTROPLATE™ technology; this lightweight Pebax plate provides a pop of forward momentum without the harshness that runners may feel with a carbon plate. The result is a speed trainer you can comfortably wear day after day, mile after mile.

The MEGABLAST™ shoe delivers the most bounce in the “blast shoe” lineup with the lowest weight. This combination is possible thanks to full-length FF TURBO™ SQUARED cushioning in the midsole, combining lightweight comfort with amplified energy return. The trampoline-inspired experience is made even better with ASICSGRIP™ outsole for great traction, plus an engineered mesh upper material that keeps you cool and comfortable throughout your run.
