Asics Gel Blast 5

2 Comments

The Asics Gel Blast 5. As you can tell by the digits, this is a popular and long-running line of shoes, preceded by – SPOILER ALERT! – the Asics Gel Blast 4.

Update: this shoe was succeeded by the Asics Gel Blast 6, which was heavily redesigned.

Here’s a photo by my friend Chris Smith:

Chris says these are “well protected where squash players drag their feet” and “supportive but light weight”.

And here’s a pair I saw the other day:

There’s also this yellow guy, which I dub the bumblebee. Sting.

    I’ve been wearing a green pair of these for just over a year. The cushioning is excellent but they are pretty heavy compared with other Asics shoes I’ve looked at. 410g per shoe according to one website.

    I’m trying out the Asics Upcourt and Asics Rocket this year and will report back.

    Green, navy and orange definitely go to together?!?! They are great shoes and Asics does definitely have some crazy colour schemes.
