I'd like to second some comments made by other viewers: 1. It would be interesting to know what is your beef with Asics. 2. Your opinions on the Asics Metaspeed Edge and Sky Paris would be valuable. 3. The Asics Superblast sounds worth reviewing given that it may go on sale when the next version is released. 4. Shorter is better.😃
Never heard anyone rip on Asics as a company before....curious on the back story. Asics heels have been bullet proof for me preventing any heel rubbing or lifting. I haven't tried the NB V4, but I put in 700KM on NB V1, and I just bought a pair of discounted NB V3 which I already have 120km on in only 5 runs. And they have been amazing. Can handle everything from longer strides/5k pace, all the way up to 30+KM runs with MP/HMP thrown in at the end. I had thought about the Superblast, but I can basically buy 2 pair of NB V3 for 1 pair of Superblast.
Yeah, the Superblasts are expensive but they last forever. I'm at 500 miles on my Superblasts and they're still going. If you can get 2x the distance for a pair that's a litte more expensive, just do the math.
Today, I tested Mach 6, Nova 4, Rebel V4. To my surprise, I came home with the V4. I thoroughly enjoyed the bounce of the Mach 6 foam, but even putting on a 1/2 size larger, my pinky toe was being squished. The Rebel V4, to me, feels absolutely amazing, and they were fantastic for my 4-mile run. Cannot wait to lace them up tomorrow.
Your comments on the feeling transitioning from heel to forefoot not being smooth is spot on. I have the Superblasts and it’s the same sensation. That’s probably the only thing I don’t like about the Superblasts, otherwise they’re excellent. New package is definitely Asics Metaspeed Paris
Bro I love these shoes! I have 150 miles in the Novablast 4. NB4 for daily trainer, Boston 12 for speed training and Adios Pro 3 for racing. Firm and fast Novablast for the win!
I love the NB4. It’s the only pair of shoes I actually own 2 of. Granted, Asics gave me one of them, but I was happy to buy another since they are a reasonable price point. One of my feet is a wide width, one is not, and they still work just fine.
I have over 300 miles in my Novablast 4 and they still perform well. Minimal wear on the outside (even in my higher wear areas). The midsole has lost some bounce but still feels good on the easy/recovery runs, which is my primary use for the shoes. I’m about to order a pair of Novablast 4 to put in rotation after I retire my NB3 in the next 100-150 miles. My guess on the ASICS package at the end of the video is either the Magic Speed 3 or one of the new Metaspeed Paris shoes.
superblast is a great daily trainer as well.. it blows rebel v4 & novablast out of the water.. I realize it's a completely different category but I think it's pretty versatile.
I like your reviews, but I agree with others that potential bias against Asics might skew your review (even though you said you liked the shoes). I heard you say early on that you don't believe Asics supports the running community, but it would be helpful to know why you are anti-Asics. I also think your review of the two new Metaspeeds would be great.
Curious what your issue with Asics is? Haha The Asics I would like to see your opinion on is the new Metaspeed Paris shoes. I won't be in the market for a marathon racer for probably a year, but they look really nice.
Really enjoying the Novablast 4 - had the same feelings about how over-built they seemed, but they're great for steady/easy runs having got a few miles in them. I hadn't ran in Asics for years, but had a good feeling about these and they've got some awesome shoes along with the Superblast and how good the new Metaspeeds look.
I haven't found a better all around shoe than the Mach 5. Fully agree with you about the foam naming. If a foam brand name doesn't tell you what you're going to get, they should just call it all foam. For your box, I'm guessing Superblast - but I'd be really happy if it was one of the Metaspeed Paris versions.
I enjoy your reviews and appreciate your perspective and insights. However, I don’t watch a lot of your videos because of the length. 43 minutes is a big commitment, even on double speed. Thanks for all your work.
When the Nova Blast 4 launched, I did not buy it because I would soon (January) would get the Gel-Nimbus 26 , also because the color options were not good for my taste and I did not want a bulky daily trainer to run faster . Yesterday I received by Gel-Cumulus 26 and it is what I wanted to combo with my Gel-Nimbus 26 : - same color way on both shoes ; - less bulky, with a slim fit, no huge heel landing (NB4); - a bit less heavy and less heavy (lol) ; - also lower stack height them the Gel-Nimbus/Nova Blast . I'm a heel striker ,but bulky heels ,for my taste, are ok if the shoes are max cushioning . Otherwise, I prefer more compact...even if that could cost losing a bit of stability, but it was not the case with the Gel-Cumulus 26 ! Ascis is rocking with so many shoes options for every taste !
I had the Novablast v2 & v3 but I'm not planning on getting v4 because I've gotten away from such maxed out shoes. With v3, I found myself gravitating towards the Deviate Nitro 2 more and more just because it feels like less shoe on foot even though it is a bit heavier. I'm curious about your anti-Asics feelings because I've thought about the Evoride Speed 2, and the leaked photos of Magic Speed 4 look fantastic. Also, no deadlifts is a deal breaker for me. Fortunately, in my garage, we encourage them.
If you only got 250 miles out of your Nimbus 25s, either you have a very sensitive/fragile foot or you like retiring shoes early. I got 400 miles on both of my Nimbus 25s, and never heard of anyone only getting 250 miles out of any modern Asics shoe that isn't a carbon-plated racer. I got 300 miles on my Novablast 3s, I'm over 500 miles on my Superblasts and they're still going strong, I already mentioned my Nimbus 25s. Also would like to hear how Asics "doesn't support the running community." I see them as one of the leaders in the community.
The Novablast 4 might be the first novablast that I will run in because the first 3 models I've been using the shoe as daily commuter. I'm deciding between (Saucony ride 17, Novablast 4, mach 6, and Rebel v4).
Cumulus 26 in the box? 😅 about de heel-forefoot disconnection issue, do you feel it anyway in the Speed 3 aswell? Great vid, more Asics shoes 🙌🏻 PS: You should try on Glideride 3 once, its an amazing long trainer
The original Novablast was excellent and versatile. Since then, Asics has progressively nerfed and widened the 2, 3, and probably the 4. It's become an easy day only shoe.
What a timely review. I just returned a pair NB4’s. Ran in them twice and bottom of both feet hurt. Left arch was painful at end of runs I believe due to no overlays offering support. After 2nd 6 mile run left calf was slightly strained and had to stop run for 4 days. Not to mention the midsole was firm. Thought the midsole was supposed to be softer a true disappointment. Since I returned the NB4’s I’ve had 5 runs in my Speed 3’s and Maxroad 6’s and none of the above issues. Oh well. Just my experience and definitely not a she for me.
@@AleCardenasRealtor I purchase from two online vendors. Running warehouse and Road Runner sports. They both offer returns. On slightly worn shoes you get a credit and on non worn shoes you can get a credit or refund. I’ve returned shoes to both without issues. Would never purchase a shoe from a vendor that doesn’t have a generous return policy. Most do. Hope that helps.
@@AleCardenasRealtor I've done it quite a few times .. I make sure to wear clean socks, to remove the shoes as soon as I get home and to run on clean asphalt .. then I clean the outsole .. using VIM if white or hard to clean .. and never had any problem .. the best is running on clean\fresh snow .. you don't even have to clean the outsole
I swear this is word for word what I would write about the Boston 12, even the strained left calf. The novablast 4 reviews on youtube are strange, half of them call it firm, half of them call it soft. In my opinion, it's neither, it's on the softer side of medium. I can feel it that way when I press my fingers into the foam, and I can feel it that way when it's on my feet. The softness measurements on RunRepeat's website confirms this to me. But yeah when it's on your feet, softness measurements don't really matter anymore, everyone will feel it differently
Totally missed out why all the hate to Asics. Always wondered why when you gave up plated shoes you didn't go for the Superblast. I just have a bran new pair of those, please review 🙏.
Would like to see how you would feel about the ASICS Superblast…I’m same height as you but 194lbs. It took me 40ish miles break in and actually like the Superblast. Def firmer but it bounces. It’s very light for the boat of a shoe 😂 I like Novablast 3(and the 2) and tried on v1 but def have been firming up FF blast and now blast+
I guess it is the ASICS magic speed…. You said you are not going to buy nimbus26. So does this NB4 trumps the rebel v4, speedv4, and puma deviate nitro?? 😊
Hey brother, have you considered trying out the Saucony Kinvara Pro? Really interesting take on a daily trainer. I actually happen to really enjoy it and it does have a smooth roll. It's stirred up some controversy, but I think you'll like it. I'm also a heavier runner/ hybrid athlete at about the weight you were at back in the day. Right around 210lbs at 6ft. It would be great to hear your thoughts on it
I don’t have these but they’ve been on my wishlist for a while. Not because I thought they’d work good in my rotation or anything but because to me, the are the best looking shoe out right now. It does it for me. As far as laces go, that’s interesting. I usually just do a typical double knot but if they laces are a bit 😂long, I’ll shove the extra under the other laces down the front of the shoe. No problems with that method yet
Help, Yowana! I'm really undecided between this and the Cloudmonster for a purchase that will be done this weekend. Deciding factors are that it needs to be good for the long runs (3 hours + on feet) and I can't deal with an unstable shoe. Make my pick for me, sir :)
Felt the trampoline area on first run, but after initial break in…no problems! Not as springy as NB 3’s, but still felt great at pace pickup 👍 More stable and better outsole grip on wet surfaces and taking corners. Excellent shoe for my rotation! Every runner has a different feel, I’m enjoying them on my runs👍👍👍
I dont know about the pricing or shoes in the US but the novablast 4 are cheap in europe compared to rebel v4 and saucony speed. I can get it now in sweden for about 115 dollar vs speed 4 which is 235 dollars here. I will choose novablast for the daily miles just for the price alone.
Not sure if you were going to say what ive been thinking, which is asics never gives good deals. I swear ive been in asics outlet stores and running shoes aren’t technically even discounted they got the “buy 1 get one half off” so ive held off on buying asics because i refuse to pay 170 to 200 for a shoe. When so many are out there for less. Until last night dsw had a awesome sell and finally picked up a pair of novablast 3 for 70 bucks. So will see how it goes
Like all the shoes that have a bump in the forefoot,same as the nikes with air bags,it always feels like something is stuck on the outsole or a waded up sock inside..the NB elite V3 is similar when the forefoot bottoms out and you can feel the plate hitting the ground..
Not a fan of asics generally, and my only experience was with the Superblast which I returned after 30km. It just didn’t work for my mechanics and I found it too flat footed.
I kinda regret buying these. I have the exact same thought on the midsole geometry. The transition is not smooth and forces you to land on front or completely at the back. I'm a midfoot striker and this is really messing with me every run. I wore them for walks as well to break them in. The foam will loosen up and feel softer. I thin the foam is fine, the step in feel is great and comfy, but they have a weird geometry. Might work for some people though..
I have to say the concept of having a dual purpose trainer for regular running and also for errands is one that has never, ever crossed my mind! Sounds kinda gross to use an Americanism! Not my cup of tea as we say here in the UK!!! Also, I couldnt help but notice that the NB looked at least half a size too small on your foot. Did you size up?
Lots of crybabies in the comments on this one. Y’all act so entitled lmao. It’s TH-cam and I know damn well y’all aren’t paying for it. Follow someone else’s content. No one is forcing you to watch a 20 min video. I enjoy the lengthy video. If I’m not vibing with something, I LIFT MY FINGER to fast forward. I bet y’all too lazy to use turn signals too.
I might be in the minority too, but I actually enjoy the longer content that he's been making. It's more personable and differentiates his channel from other shoe reviewers. Plus I think Yowana is extremely thorough and does a great job connecting with his viewers, something many other channels don't do as well.
I mean, he was pretty disappointed in this version of the shoe himself. He loved V1, but hasn't really loved the newer versions, I think. Some brands just work better for different people, though.
I think you should go watch Kofuzi or the Run testers or believe in the Run or Ed bud or Hes kicks? They seem to all be tuned in to what people are there for? Data and images and info. Notnpotty breaks and tutorials on tieing one's shoes, we are all adults here and if we want to learn a new way to tie shoes we will look it up on TH-cam. And I would rather watch paint dry than watch you weigh a pair of shoes one at a time. If I torture us with the process of you changing shoes and walking into the gym os that narcissism we just don't care about those things we are here for the shoes, the data, info, stack, weight, we dont want of require seeingvyou weight them one at a time for like 4 solid minutes, We neen information and the images. No more...
his channel is growing at a faster clip than just about an right now. He's a real guy giving real reviews and that's why we pay attention. You go watch cookie cutter reviewers with their copy/paste reviews.

You ought to try the superblast. My two favorite trainers right now are the Boston 12 and the superblast
I have the Novoblast as well but superblast blast is a completely different level
I have a dhgate rep superblast and even those kicks ass, but for $60. 😂
I love my superblasts and they're the reason I haven't picked up some novablasts
Finaly Asics thank you for the review superblast please 😅

I have boston 12/adios pro 3. Will get novablast 4 also. This rotation is 🙌
Same except I got the Novablast 3 instead of 4. Boston 12 for long run and tempo
The superblast and Metaspeed paris are actually worth reviewing. They’re light, with class leading foam, definitely worth a shot

What’s not versatile is the price. Average runner don’t want to pay $200 for a non plated daily trainer. The shoe should be $20 cheaper
@@snowwalker9999 hot take: the shoe is worth the extra $20 bucks. It a 500 mile shoe, lasts way longer than race day shoes priced similarly.
The reviews are getting longer and longer. Try and keep them shorter
