Novablast 3 has normal AHAR, Novablast 2 has AHAR+ which is allegedly 50% more durable. Also the outsole pattern on the regular 3 is less aggressive than the 2, so the regular 3 has worse grip than the 2 and worse outsole durability..hence the TR may be a better pick even for road use.

Thanks for taking a look at the trail version. I had my suspicions that it would be as you described it, but I was eager to hear from someone with first-hand experience. If I was in charge of Asics, the 'trail' version would be the only version. I don't understand why so many shoe brands tend towards such specialised outsoles for training shoes.

@@ChrisfromDevelopment When people wear shoes, the tread is usually on the ground and therefore not visible to onlookers. The consequences of the tread providing insufficient grip can be severe. The case for prioritising form over function in the outsole is therefore very weak.

Thanks so much for this comparison. Clearly the outsole on the trail version is for non-technical packed trails and commuting between road and trail (a tweener as Seth likes to say)... what I would really like to know is how well that outsole holds in wet conditions both on and off the road and also in light mud.

The Trail version just looks like it has more rubber in the outsole. But I doubt it gives any decent traction on actual trails. And for gravel roads the regular one seems more than enough.

Asics best sellers in a special version with TR (Traction) sole created for your runs, from city streets to unspoiled nature. The Nature Bathing collection is inspired by the Japanese expression "shirin yoku", literally "bath in the forest", of which it recalls the colors and shades. That is the oficial discription for Novablast 3 TR. Do not expect many color variations in the future, this is a market niche Asics is exploring.

Anyone know how long Asics wait until they release new colourways in the UK? I was holding out for the bright green Novablast 3 that are available in the US, but I might actually get the TR version as most of my runs end up going through fields or woods, so makes sense to get that extra grip. TBH the 1st and 2nd iterations of the Novablast have done me fine on the trail so far, but would be good to have a bit more grip and stability. Would be nice to have another colour option.

Sounds like it’ll be another long run favourite. Just coming up to 900km in my v2 pair so it’s probably time to trade in. The biggest shame about the shoe was my journey to the ASICS store in London to get a pair. The staff didn’t have much knowledge about the shoe and they didn’t even have the stock. A very disappointing customer experience.

I am a size US 11 2E in most shoes. I tried the Novablast 3 at the store, it runs long. US 10.5 is about the same length as New Balance, Nike, Saucony US 11. Width wise, I can fit in but my toes are touching the side, I don't think I can wear it for long. For comparison, I have tried Nimbus and Kayano in US 10.5/11 2e width and they are not much better, tighter than Saucony Kinvara 13 US 11 2E. New Balance 880V11 US 11 2E and 1080V12 US 10.5 2E is even wider (and most comfortable in the toe room and forefoot by far). Note that New Balance 1080V12 seems to run bigger than most other NB.
