Here's my Asics Novablast 4 review! The Asics Novablast 3 was one of my favourite shoes from last year... a great daily trainer that could do it all (except grip in wet conditions!) Version 4 is about to launch in a few weeks time (1st December) but I managed to buy a pair at the NYC marathon expo so here are my likes, dislikes, the full specs and my thoughts on if it's worth upgrading or finding a discount deal on the 3's. Oh and we'll be answering if they've sorted out the wet weather grip issues too.. follow along for the deep dive!

hi, I'm new to your channel. running my first full marathon next year. my first running shoe was an Asics Gel Nimbus 24. love the cushioning however my middle toe already died. I have amazing runs from these I hit a lot of PBs. Just today i bought Nike zoom fly 5. i was torn between nike invincible run 3 but ended up buying zoom fly 5 because of unsecurity from the heel side of the shoe. thank you for the honest reviews. It does make a difference because you bought all of them :)

its good to hear in the comments that people were getting more mileage in the novablast 3 than I was expecting, given initially it seemed like there wasnt as much rubber there than in previous versions. But, living in the UK, wet weather grip is an absolute must! Unless the v4 gets a TR version, Ill have to settle for either the version 2 or if theres still some around, the version 1s.

Great review Ben. You're channel was recommended to me a couple months ago after securing a place in next year's London Marathon (my first one) and I've already bought one of your training plans as I'm vying for a sub-4hr time. Been a huge headache over trainer selection (my Novablast 1's had been amazing but they're dead now) and I decided to stick with Asics, so I've been waiting for a review on the 4's, or to pick up a discounted 3. Considered the Velocity Nitro 2, Glycerine 20 and Triumph 20 and really enjoyed your reviews on those, but I've taken the plunge and picked up a couple of pairs of 3's to do my training and race day after everything you've said. Can't wait to start your training plan in January and get this sub-4!!!

You are right in what you say about Nova 4 Vs Superblast. No point in having too much overlap or most will not upgrade to the SB. The SB is exceptional, and lasting (I’m 700+ Kms in mine and still poppy). Where the Nova’s fall short, the SB picks up and takes it to the next level. Well worth the extra dollar dollar bills yo!!!

Hey Ben I love this review!!!! I would love to see your opinions on the New Balance SC trainer v2! They are my new stable for daily trainers for all of my runs from easy recovery pace of 9-10 minute mile all the way to tempo and speed work at 5-7 minute mile. I think it's a great max cushion shoe for people like me who loves that softness and cushion but with high energy return and not too squishy where it feels lagging the speed. Anyways hopefully we will see your review on those

I've had the Novablast 2 & 3 and I think they're a great value shoe for a casual runner who wants one shoe to do it all. They can do long miles, easy miles, and pick up the pace just fine. I've gotten good durability on mine, too, with 500 miles on the Novablast 3 and it's still in decent condition.

Had a couple of Novablasts 1 - loved that shoe! Also bought the version 3 - which I found too warm and a little heavy and had issues with some hot spots, yet still enjoyed the speed and the spring. If they take some if the spring away, don't fix the heat and make it heavier while increasing the price (the old model was easily buyable for 120) then I guess I will have to find a new favourite shoe line...

I ordered these in US 11.5 and 12. I am normally a 12. Upon trying them on in the house I decided to go with the 11.5. I had a thumb width in length at the end with my heel firmly locked into the rear of the shoe. I ran up and down the hallway multiple times and it just felt right. A little clunky, but the size felt right. However, once I ran in them I regretted sizing down. I had to re-lace the shoes multiple times on my 10km run. My foot just kept shifting forward no matter how tight I did the laces, especially when going down hill. I'm going to sell the 11.5s and send the 12s back. I just didn't get enough out of the run to justify trying the 12s. The bounce disappeared after about 500 metres and then they just felt energy sapping and blocky. They also felt like they were almost bottoming out, which at a 40mm plus stack, I just don't understand. Anyway, not for me.

Best daily trainer ‘plus’ is the Endorphin Speed 3 for me. Loved the Superblast but just too expensive. Really liked the NB 3, already on my second pair but not as fun to run as the Speed 3 or the Mach 5. Shoe of the year is the Magic Speed 3 for me. Such a light, fast and responsive shoe. Every tempo of interval training has been such a joy when wearing these shoes.

I love the Novablast 3s. I don't think they lack traction too badly, I've definitely run in far worse! I don't like recently how shoes in the 'everyday trainer' category are getting so expensive. I can understand dropping £200+ for carbon supershoes that will probably take your pbs down a significant amount. But £150+ for shoes that only really need to be good enough to not make you injured and hate running is hard to justify. And it's becoming the standard. Might wait til the Novablast 5s come out and try to find these at a reduced price. Running already has a problem of being an overwhelmingly middle class and consumerist sport. Not as bad as cycling is, but it's getting worse

I am new to running and currently going through my first training block for my first marathon in late Feb. and I am running slow, goal sub 4:00 marathon so not breaking records here. I have been running in Endorphin Speed 3 which I have loved for 90% of my runs. Now that I am into 18 and 20 mile long runs for my training, my legs are really sore for the last 5+ miles and hard to finish the run. Considering I need to go 26 miles, do you think the NB4 is a good shoe that would be better for my legs in the marathon or is shoe not the problem and I need more training?

Is there a truer replacement for the Nike Air Tempos without having to buy a distance-limited carbon plate shoe? The superblast don't give that energy return that the Tempos did. Thanks Ben, I've been enjoying your videos for years.

The tempos are a pretty unique trainer.. personally prefer the superblast over these now, much smoother. If you like the tempos then get another pair I'd say!

Thank you for your review. I want to know if I can run a Marathon (42.2 Km) in Novablast 4. I don't want a carbon plated shoe. I am a fairly slow runner, about 6 hours I take.

I think they make the upper a bit warm on purpose so they can sell you the se summer edition

Hi Ben. I’m considering this shoe to break in and run my first full marathon in about a month. I’m coming from a Hoka Mach 5, which is really the only running shoe I’ve ever known. Do you think the Novablast 4 is a good choice for a first-time marathoner targeting a sub-4? And do I have enough time to break in something new? Would really appreciate any advice.

My favorite shoe of this year has the been the Saucony Kinvara 14, its such a light and straight to the point daily trainer. Close 2nd will be the NB 1080 v.13

i have some old model of these. they are light and to the point, but i don't think they'd at all provide support for higher base milage.

153 For me Infinite 5 from Under Armour. Asics Novablast 3 was a bad dream for me. From sinking in, to weak sensation in calf, Achilles, knees and even left hamstring and left gluteus..1 week was a terrible toe off. The 8th day and after I was able to feel ground more. I push myself to see whether it is all just in my mind. But no. I definitely prefer a more firm sensation. To much of my surprise it's doing a damn good job in keeping my health ok. And I wanna add I am really loving upper and overall design and know how to be built into Asics shoes. In the store they offered me Mizuno as though. Horizon, Sky , Skyrise or Wave Rider. I was looking at Asics NB4 because from the pic it looked like Cumulus 25, more firm so to say. But from the video you leave and others..although I don't see much sinking in, I don't see toe off either. (when a runner crosses over toe ..that way muscles of ass are engaged..it is like pull ups.. whole range of motion or flying aka running..short moves are simply wrong for body dynamics) Anyways I shall wait and try. But most probably I pick up those earlier Eva or Flyte Foam regular middle foams. Besides UA and Mizuno.

With the 3 I ran 8 hours and 100km with good/excellent results (even though many people here on KZbin pseudo "personal trainers" said it wasn't good!) and I no longer had tendon problems with drop 8 unlike before I ran with a drop 12 and then the roll is excellent even if it took a little time before "taming" them because at the beginning I felt like I was hopping instead of running. This version 4 weighs a little more, but the sole seems better distributed and if they hold the road well this is a very important point.....But is the 4 really that much better than the 3? I'll try it and then I'll tell you! P.s: this is a high-performance shoe for marathons up to 100km, don't listen to the "personal trainer" guys here on KZbin who tell you that it's only good for 10km and half distances........

Hi Ben, love my Novablast 3 TR but after 1100km I guess it’s time to replace them. Just started your marathon plan. I already have the metaspeed edge. What would you recommend would be the best shoe for a marathon (target sub 4hrs) and training: meta edge, Novablast 4 or superblast? Thanks

I'm about to return a pair of Hoka Clifton 8. 30 day trial and they are awful. Too narrow in the middle foot where the hard arch inside support makes my feet ache and my toes ache also which I would put down to the forefoot not having enough cushioning. I've always been an ASICS man, and usually have the cumulus range. I thought I'd try Hoka for a change and wish I didn't. But they're being returned and now looking at sticking to ASICS. I'm a UK size 11. I weight about 15 stone, athletic ISH build. I'm a mid to heel foot striker and I have standard width (10.5cm) feet. Would these nova blast 4 be a recommendation?
