    @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.

    • @AndreasKriswanto1989
      @AndreasKriswanto1989 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      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!

    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.

    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 ...

    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.

    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)

    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?

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      SL2 is a bit more firm. Rides more like a Velocity or perhaps an older Pegasus than a Novablast

    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.

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  หลายเดือนก่อน

    @kofuzi if you had to pick btw NV4 or NV5, which would you pick?

  • @LiveYoung0
    @LiveYoung0 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

    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

    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?

  • @ZyxEd2525
    @ZyxEd2525 หลายเดือนก่อน

    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!

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
