ASICS Novablast 4 - First Impressions

Review of my experience with the ASICS Novablast 4 after 55 miles.

Great review! It's overwhelming at all the choices out there. I've been binging on review videos lately as I'm looking to add a new pair of running shoes. This is definitely one I'm considering, and yeah I want the bright lime color!

Thanks! Glad you got something out of it. You’re right that there are so many options out there, and it seems like a new version of every shoe I love is released often. These are definitely a good choice!

Did a 6 mile run in between rainstorms and high winds out the box, and the NB 4’s did excellent on wet sidewalks and street pavement👍 Although NB 3 had a bit more energy return, the NB 4’s still good at recovery and uptempo paces 🥰 I’ll use them more this week doing intervals and use them in my rotation. Love them so far!! Woo!

[@betteryetjet]

Awesome! I’m glad you love them! I was really impressed by how they did in wet conditions, too. Enjoy!

Just got them today from Fleet Feet woo! Can’t wait to run in them this week 🥰

[@betteryetjet]

Nice! Let me know how you like them!

I like saucony too but bought these to be a daily trainer and like them.

I was really impressed by them!

You rotate your novablast with your saucony shoes ? I’m planning to try out the Novablast 4’s…no slippage running on wet or icy surfaces?

[@betteryetjet]

I do rotate my Novablasts with my Saucony shoes. I ran intervals on a track in my Saucony Endorphin Speed 3s Tuesday and am running 10km in the rain today on a paved trail in my Novablast 4s. Saturday I will run 13 miles in my Saucony Triumph 21s. I have been fine running on wet surfaces in the Novablasts and slushy/icy surfaces once. We don’t get too much of that here in Atlanta, Georgia. They did fine. Honestly, the only time I have slipped in these was on a pure sheet of ice under a bridge in the shade. The sole of the Novablast 4 is an improvement from the Novablast 3 from what I’ve read, so I would definitely try them out!
