IN FOCUS
This new launch from Asics is made for those of us who want our shoes to be comfortable and responsive. We wanted to go under the bonnet of the Dynablast because as much as we love to learn about the tech at the top end of shoe design, it’s important to understand the middle of the pack: shoes that will be our workhorses, the ones that we wear on our everyday runs, and the ones that cheer us up when we put them on. So what has the Dynablast got to off er?
We spoke to Callum Linger from Asics to find out more about the design and engineering of the Dynablast. “Th e Dynablast sits within our ‘faster’ category; our Blast family,” he explains. Th is includes the Novablast, the Roadblast and now the Dynablast (there are other shoes in the pipeline). “It sits in the faster category due to the energy and the bounceback qualities of the new Flytefoam midsole.”
Th e Flytefoam sits in the midsole, and is made up of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) for energy return, and OBC (olefin block copolymers) for soft ness. And there’s space for both due to the relatively high stack height. “Th e stack height goes from 28mm to 16mm, with a drop of 12mm, so it’s higher off the ground than other shoes in our range,” says Callum
upper. “Th e good thing about engineered knit uppers is that we can change the weave pattern,” explains Callum. “So in the wraparound toe area we can make the weave quite tight to support the foot, but over the top we can keep it quite loose and ensure the breathability is as high as it can be.”
