I own a pair of novablast 3, with little bit above 750 km. I'm 85 kg. I've had the feeling that shoes started to lose their softness after maybe 600 km. All my runs after 700 km were simply because I loved NB3 so much, so I wanted to give them a chance again and again, but unfortunately in my case they definitely became more and more stiffer, and my last run in them was 25 km, and I didn't like it at all in the second half. Shoes felt like very stiff on every landing.@@elophostia

@@HDSigningOut I bought a pair and found myself slightly pronating during my running sessions. Never felt such a thing with my previous shoes (Pegasus 38, 39, and a few stable ASICS). Maybe the reason is the rocky profile of the NB3, but in my opinion, this is a problem addressed to my stabilizers, and I just have to get stronger. Still, these are the best shoes I've ever had, and I easily improved my pace by 10 seconds per minute with the same intensity.

Interesting tweaks to this version! I was rotating SC Trainer V1 for easy/long runs and NovaBlast 3 for speed workouts last season. I have SCT V2 now and with its changes and looking at this version they seem closer together. I miss some of the cushiness of the SCT V1 and this NB4 seems to be a hair less springy or more like a daily trainer. Still considering the Saucony Endorphine Speed 3 as my speed session trainer, but I still have some mileage left in my NB3’s to get by for a bit.

I was conflicted in marking down the novablast 4 for not being as speed-ready as the novablast 3. I rarely use daily trainers for workouts, as I'll use a race shoe or a workout shoe, like takumi sen or magic speed. and while the novablast 4 is probably a better daily trainer in terms of how I actually use a daily trainer, that slight change in spirit of the shoe does make it a touch less exciting.

I think you made an interesting point about the change in foam with the bio foams. I found the same with the pwr run foam with Saucony. The Axon 3 uses a bio foam (might be corn bases) vs the kinvara 14. The Axon 3 is way softer and less durable vs the Kinvara Pwrrun foam in regards to the ground contact abrasion. Hence the slab of xt600 on the bottom of the Axon3. Would be interesting to see how the novablast 3 vs 4 compares over simular milage.

what's particularly interesting to me is that I understood PWRRun PB to be castor bean based. Doesn't that mean it was already a bio based product? and then this year, they introduced PWRRUN BIO+ which is corn based. why the emphasis in one line of products and not the other?

Let's see if ASICS can actually get these on the shelves in a timely fashion. It was well into spring before I started to see the 3 last year.

I’ve been super hyped about Novablast 4 and I’m happy we finally got more info, but I’m seriously worried about FF Blast+ Eco.

Probably my big hopes this year will be on Superblast 2, I have about 800km in my original Superblast and love that shoe, especially since FF Turbo just gets better over time while FF Blast+ gets worse over time, but still nothing beats a fresh pair of FF Blast+.

I’m still a fan of regular FFBlast. I like the Nimbus 25, but the NB1 and NB2 were amazing. NB3 didn’t “wow” me like the first 2. I still run in the NB1’s.

Feel like this shoe could bomb to be honest. I feel like the general perception is that when it comes to shoes, anything that is ‘eco friendly’ ends up being not as good as the ‘normal’ material/product. Crushed up zoomx for example, or the Saucony RFG foam….

Currently trying to decide between waiting it out for these or picking up the 1080 v13s, so it was interesting to hear you say they match up/compare pretty close to one another.

if your running enough to justify it, get both. one now and the other later.

I'll probably wait for another colorway. Didnt know you have an Asics merch. Just saw BITR review and Robbe was wearing a black Asics shirt with Kofuzi logo.

Very informative review, thanks. I assume Asics requested that all influencers release reviews today. My feed also has RW, BITR, Emily Heller, Doctors.

it's kind of the inverse, but I think its an important distinction. we can release videos any time we want, but no earlier than today. the simultaneity is a reflection of our collective excitement as a counterpoint, I get gps watches with embargoes all the time. but I rarely find it compelling to produce a video for the embargo lift day

My biggest gripe with the NB3 was how it rolled off the big toe. You can tell with the design of the midsole. Big sole flaring on the whole shoe, but for some reason, right under the big toe, the sole flaring goes away. This caused the shoe, on toe-off, to pitch my feet inward at the last moment, and gave me issues with my shins.

Oh man, I was really hoping for the 4 to have a little more pop or springy-ness under foot than the 3. I liked the 3’s a lot but they needed more support under foot for longer runs and they were definitely slow. Great for easy runs but i gauged RPE vs the endorphin 3 and they ran 20 seconds slower at the exact same RPE. Gonna have to pick up a bunch of 3’s then

Love the super blast. Been running 100% on concrete and so far they are holding up well at 108 miles. I use them every 3rd day when my Achilles are tired and sore. How different are the novablast from the super blast? Btw I bought them because of your review😁 ty

the novablast continues be different from the superblast in that the novablast is a daily trainer. can be used for a little of everything with durability to hand the bulk of your running, i.e. everyday runs at easy effort. the superblast is shoe that is a bit more malleable, and different runners tend to perceive it and use it differently. I love it as a long run shoe or a workout shoe where I will be doing a lot of miles at or around marathon effort. others like the superblast as a forgiving recovery run or long slow run shoe. others like the superblast as a daily trainer and might use it in the same scenarios as the novablast.

I’m sorry, but this reminds me of those KMart shoes we used to get when I was a kid. It’s like ASICS is just making shoes just to make them. Or for people who are on their feet all day. I can’t take them serious as a running company anymore and I’ve owned plenty and still love my Magic Speed 3s. However even the top tier Metaspeeds are outgunned by other brands.

Loved every version of the Novablast but then I developed Metatarsalgia in my left foot three months ago. I'm recovered from the Metatarsalgia but since then the Novablast 'trampoline' feels like a pea under the ball of the foot and aggravates the injury so no Novablast for me ever again. 😢
@kofuzi
11 ай бұрын
sorry to hear that. and if staying away from Novablast keeps you running pain free, then by all means, continue with that. but for what it's worth, I feel less trampoline effect in this shoe. I suspect it's due to the foam change
