Hey everyone,

​I’m ready to pull the trigger on the Novablast 5, but I’m totally stuck on which colorway to pick. I absolute hate boring, flat colors on a running shoe—if a shoe has this much geometric foam flare, it deserves a colorway that pops.

​I’m definitely skipping Gravel/White and any flat greys. I want something vibrant, but retail stock photos are notoriously bad at showing how the actual jacquard mesh and neon accents look under real sunlight.

​The ones I'm actively considering:

​Lite-Show / Orange Pop – This looks crazy bright online. For anyone who has it, does the upper lean more towards a vibrant blue/white or a soft grey in broad daylight? And just how loud is that orange midsole?

​Wave Teal / Orange Glow / Sun Pack – This teal-and-orange contrast looks incredibly sharp on screen. Does the teal look like a rich, deep aqua in person, or does it lean closer to a flat green?

​Indigo Blue / Amber – Love a good high-contrast look. Is the amber accent closer to a bright gold/yellow or a burnt orange?

​I want a clean but energetic look that stands out on the road without looking like a muddy mess after three runs. How are these holding up for you guys? Any major staining issues on the lighter, brighter sections of the foam?

​Appreciate any real-world feedback before I order!
