@Kofuzi I love what you are doing by showing the brand’s shoe line up, starting with the daily trainer, and then boiling it down to a 3 or 2 shoe rotation! If I got my way, I’d have 5 shoe rotations in multiple brands, but most “normal”people won’t (or can’t) do that. The 2-3 shoe rotation for folks working on PBs and racing is awesome advise.
I used to run 3-4 times a week without shoe rotation, ended up buying a new pair of shoe every 800km because they're completely worn out after that. Now I run 5-7 times a week with 3 shoes rotation, all of them already passing 1000km mileage, all the fresh feeling has gone but overall they're still working fine. Not gonna lie, the initial investment of buying 3 pairs of shoes emptied my pocket😆, but in the long run I found the economical value was worth it especially if you run a lot. Turned out the 'rest day' also applies to shoe foam which prolongs their lifespan.
Definitely agree with the two shoe rotation. The SB2 can do it all. The foam and feel of the SB2 becomes perfect after 30-50 miles of break in. MetaSpeed Sky Paris for race day. 👍
Whoa. Rare Sat morning drop! I guess Mr. Fuzi put extra time into perfecting it knowing how many Novablast fans there are in the audience. You can almost hear us chanting like Romans: Novablast! Novablast! It's the gold standard for DTs. I'd buy it regardless of what the reviews say, but I'm glad it's still great. Evo SL may be a category killer, but it's vaporwear. I also like your new approach of building up a rotation and then tearing it back down again. Superblast and Metaspeed literally FTW!
Since some of the other NB5 reviews seemed luke warm on the NB5, I was definitely waiting for Kofuzi’s review. I did decide to pick up another pair of NB4s since they were on sale. 🙂
hate to say it since I'm a Novastan but I might skip this one since the 4 was so perfect for me. Perfect well-rounded concise review as always, Mike. 13/10, will probably watch again at some point.
Seriously the best shoe reviews out there! Also, like kofuzi said..if you wanna get a Novablast look out for the 3s cos they're so heavily discounted and imo better than the 4s ( can't speak for the 5s yet).
Exactly what I needed to know. I tried on version 4 and felt way to stiff and decided to no go for it. Knowing the V5 is more comparable to the V3 is great to know.
As someone who came on board at version 4 and enjoyed that as my go to daily ( even over my SB2) I’m looking forward to this one and have it pre ordered. As always kofuzi stellar straight forward review! You’re my go to for no nonsense reviews
@elijahstempke2251 running warehouse has the NB 4 for $109 and I used a youtuber Yowana's discount code. I believe the running warehouse still has them for $109 which is pretty good
@@elijahstempke2251I got it through running warehouse and TH-camr Yowana's promo code. Running warehouse still has them for $110 which is pretty good still
@@elijahstempke2251i believe asics store discount based on color too like white color is cheap, i just check it today it’s 99$. (Sorry ab my english..)
Love the insight on the asics lineup. I previously rotated between the novablast 4 & Superblast. Recently I just use superblast 2’s for everything. Luckily ordered multiple pairs.
Great review. I’ve loved the Novablast since v2. I love the MagicSpeed 4 as well, they were my choice for NYC. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Mike! Review was top notch as always. 👍
I loved the 2 and 3. Didn't need the 4 but now that I am looking for a new pair again the 5 has been on the top of my list for a while. It sucks that all reviewers only seem to have the purple variant because I would love to see how the yellow one actually looks.
Thanks for that Mike. Haven’t regretted NB since the days of chaos based on your reviews. Looks like I’ll go NB4 for cheap then (still working my way through couple pairs of NB3 which I got on discount when NB4 came out) then get the evo sl. Adios pro are the racers of choice (though that’s probably because asics don’t do uk 13 in racers or SB. Anyway, appreciate the honestly and impartiality as always. Good stuff. Cheers
just ran a marathon in novablast 4 like 3 days ago, and it had to be like the most comfortable shoe for me. like it felt amazing, when i wore it before for like small runs it was awkward but after that 45 min mark it was gold.
From Asics I might get the GT 2000 13 before I get the Nova Blast 5. That is for two reasons: first I still got the NB4 with only 100 miles and second is that I'm loving the Gel-Kayano 31 ... just did another reasonable quick long run in the rain and the shoes have an amazing grip and the upper don't get too heavy with the water. So the GT 2000 might be even faster and nimble shoes and still have the great grip, better than a NB4 at least. Oh man, so many great shoes from Asics ... and the Gel-Nimbus 27 is also almost already here ...
I loved the Novablast 3s. In fact, I went through 3 pairs of them. I didn't like the Novablast 4s as much. I really love the Superblast 2s. In fact, it's the shoe I reach for practically every run. I'm not sure I'll get the Novablast 5s. I might just pick up another pair of Superblast 2s.
Confirm, superlbast 2 are really shoes for everything included very fast paces. Only thing is on slower pace you can’t enjoy the soft sensation like some other shoes does , so, for recovery and slow pace are not the best. 3 shoes is the perfect rotation to have, race shoes, tempo shoes and a slow pace super bouncy shoe.
Traction has always ben an issue for me in the NB. Super slick on the roads down here with the high humidity or rain. Plenty of days, I have to just go back in and change them for another shoe. Gonna pass finally until they put on some better outsole compound.
Just picked up the Novablast 5's today. Hoping they'll feel good on long runs and hills. Question: Why do so many trainers/racers have such thick heels? Aren't most runners mid-foot strikers? Why not prioritize support there?
Ey dude, you’re such an inspiration for making running shoes reviews. I’ll make a similar video about the Puma Deviate Nitro 2. Filming the B Roll soon!
You’re the second person I’ve seen say that. But the Novablast 4 was launched during New York City Marathon 2023, so that would have been November. And the Novablast 5 releases Dec 1. So over 12 months. Is that too soon?
Novablast 4 and Metaspeed Sky rotation here, really enjoying the daily trainer and speed work out combo this year. Although the next fun upgrade will be in 3 shoes rotation with superblast 2, metaspeed sky paris and of course novablast 5.
I’m getting back to running soon and thought about getting the a nova blast (I have the first version and wore it until I couldn’t anymore). But money is a bit of an issue because the holidays. Do you recommend getting nb 3 or nb 4 in this case? What say the community?
As always, good review! I currently run on the NB3 and started running again after a 'rest period' of about 2 years (yeah, i know .. that's a looooooooong rest period!) I don't plan to run full marathons but a HM is definitely in mind (now i'm trying to get back in form again for a 10K) So now my question ... should i upgrade to the NB5 or can i go for the NB4 given above reasons?
Is the ride (snappiness) similar to the NB3 ?? I miss the feeling of the aggressiveness of NB3. I bought the NB4 which felt like, a more cushioned version of NB3. If i can get that speedy feeling of NB3 from NB5, I would definitely buy it
From my experience (AP2, AP3, TS8, Prime X), Lightstrike Pro is a remarkably durable superfoam. IMO no need to fear the longevity of the Evo SL. What about SL2 as a NB5 comp?
Oh and BTW, I recently managed to grab a pair of Kinvara Pros. It's end of season and I'm finding some good deals. Wow. What an interesting shoe. It's what the Mach X 2 should have been. I would not have thought to compare it to the EE1 as you did, but I can kind of see it. Since there's no plate or outsole rubber at the back of the shoe, I find myself becoming a heelstriker even if normally I'm not one -- just to enjoy the squishiness. But this, in turn, makes me run slower. So I look strange running slow in a shoe with rocketship colorway. It's the least favorite of my 4 illegal stack height shoes, but I still have a use case: for long, slow social runs, where I'm obligated to make conversation (even if I don't really want to). 😉
I think the magicspeed 4 is underrated in the rotation. Couldn't get the SB2, so I used it for my marathon pace and threshold workouts. Great bounce and protects the legs well, even at recovery paces. Long runs go to the nimbus and daily's on the NB4 for now.
I'm really surprised that you would pick Evo SL over NV5 if you had to only choose one. Is it because of the foam feel or. lightweight, bc I feel Evo SL is good daily for running abit more faster. Perhaps since your lighter and lean, that you picked Evo? Just want to hear your thought on this choice. Thanks as always
what is your take for long distance 10+ miles? I really want the superblast 2 paris, but unavailable everywhere, NB SC Trainer v3 is an option for me at the moment, but these Novablast 5 are beautiful!
Novablast 5 sizing Hey there! My shoe size is 8-8.5 3E. I have a 1080v13 in 8.5 2E that fits me great because of the roomy and stretchy upper. Should I go with 8.5 2E on the Novablast 5 or should I go half a size up?
Thank you for the great inisght as usual! I'm in between the NB5 and Evo SL. Which do you think is more durable? The exposed midsole on the Evo Sl worries me a little since there's no long term review for it yet compared to Asics which generally have great durability/long mileage. I appreciate your feedback!
I am optimistic on the long term durability of the Evo SL, but I don't have personal real world data on that yet. it's a new model using foams in a new way than before. if you're only concern is the exposed portion of the foam, I wouldn't worry about that though, unless you have a footstrike that typically requires full coverage.
"If you watch this channel regularly you probably won't get just one shoe" I've never felt more seen

Bro that’s going to be my 3 shoe line up. Ordered the Nova blast 5 for that reason.

Novablast 5 vs Evo SL, which midsole is softer and which one has more bounce?
Why should you use the Novablast 5, when there is a Superblast 2?
i'm excited for these, still shocked they came out with a new iteration so quickly

As always, good review!
I currently run on the NB3 and started running again after a 'rest period' of about 2 years (yeah, i know .. that's a looooooooong rest period!)
I don't plan to run full marathons but a HM is definitely in mind (now i'm trying to get back in form again for a 10K)
So now my question ... should i upgrade to the NB5 or can i go for the NB4 given above reasons?
Get a Novablast 4 on discount now and then go to the 5 when you’re ready
Is the ride (snappiness) similar to the NB3 ??
I miss the feeling of the aggressiveness of NB3. I bought the NB4 which felt like, a more cushioned version of NB3.
If i can get that speedy feeling of NB3 from NB5, I would definitely buy it
It’s in between 3 and 4
what’s the long sleeve you were wearing earlier in the video? I see Asics logo there but dont know where to find it.

Basically me… SB2 for all my training runs and a AF3 for all races
Asics no longer Supreme in Daily Trainer segment with the Strong Rivalry from other brands. Great review Mike as usual
Is it close to the Novablast 3? Btw they got a comeback! Nova 3 are now the Dynablast 5!
From my experience (AP2, AP3, TS8, Prime X), Lightstrike Pro is a remarkably durable superfoam. IMO no need to fear the longevity of the Evo SL. What about SL2 as a NB5 comp?
SL2 is a bit more firm. Rides more like a Velocity or perhaps an older Pegasus than a Novablast
awesome review
Before vomero18 was introduced, I was considering between nova5 and Evo sL.
I really liked the Vomero as it was
How does it compare to the nimbus? Stack wise they’re fairly close
Can this be used as a everyday standing and walking shoe?
Yes
