I have used a lot of shoes from different brands and have a good rotation of shoes. I find the Novablast to be very good. It's a pair I can do anything in and feel good.
Great comparison. I have seen some reviewers say they are softer than the 4. You mentioned they were a little firmer. Hard question, but do you think that's just how different mechanics perceive this new foam, or does it feel harder to compress if you push it in with your thumb (very scientific style). Thanks again!
It’s 100% mechanics, doctors of running are a great account that break down how mechanics can change the perception of things. This is just an initial comparison too though so once I have 40-50ish miles on the 5 I’ll do a full review!
Important note about nova 4 - version you have is lite (cool grey colourway i believe) - it's diferent upper material than regular version - lite is thiner and more breathable and believe lighter too - there is no explanation on asics website how this version differ, also no one in asics flag store know the difference - is beyond me why that is and why asics would not let customers know the difference, it's kind of pointless in having diferent versions of same model without marketing it to its customers 😅
This always confuses me as well. Surely if you change a show from the specs of the release version (which everyone reviews) tell people about it. Some brands change the upper and call it an entirely new version. Then you get others like the Puma Foreverrun Knit which also lowers the drop (which massively improves the shoe) and they don't tell a soul.
particularly notable when at least for me as someone with feet on the borderline of D and E I found the upper on the standard NB4 had zero budge whatsoever which for me was quite uncomfortable
Great review 🎉
Thanks man!!
good review.hope you channel can grow bigger 1 day!
Thanks man, I’m growing and that’s all that matters. Blessed to be able to review shoes to begin with!
NB4 did not work for me. I started feeling pain in my knee and shins. Never felt that when I had my Nike Invincible 3s.

@ what shoes would you recommend for someone 6’1 235lbs coming from the bodybuilding realm?
I got the same feeling when I try to run on my NB4. Interesting that Im not the only one.
Which one is more durable?And how long is the lifespan?
Most modern running shoes really only get you up to 3-400 miles, my testing only goes to about 50 so hard to say which would go furthest for you

Great call out, I was unaware of that too actually since I purchased it on my own. I still felt it was a little warm

I really like the 3 but not the 4 (returned them).
I'm big fan of NB 3, NB4 not too good for me.. Skip for NB5, want to try Adidas Evo SL instead
I’m very excited to get the Evo SL on foot
