A good daily trainer needs to do just about anything. Easy runs. Long runs. And perhaps even some racing. The Novablast 3 does that better than any other shoe this year. And it does it in such an enjoyable way, I think it’s more important than any other shoe in 2022.

disclosures: ASICS sent me this shoe, so I did not have to pay for it. However, they are not paying me to make this video or to use this shoe.
I should also note that I have done a lot of work with ASICS this year ahead of the World Championships in Eugene (ASICS is the official footwear and apparel sponsor of the meet). As a result, I have spent a lot of time with ASICS personnel while promoting and appearing at ASICS events. This presents ample opportunity for bias. Please feel free to consider that when weighing my opinions.

Glad to see my primary workhorse is the shoes of the year 😎 I will say that once I switched to this from the endorphin line, my leg pains went away overall. The softness really does help for the training on hard surfaces and the hold up very well. The negs that I’ve seen however is that they are sometimes too soft in longer runs, they get pretty poor traction on wet pavement, and they are noticeably slow when racing. Ex: I chose to wear them at my January Marathon ( because they felt good on my feet and didn’t cause blisters like the endorphin pro) and my average pace with the same RPE was down 17-23 seconds per mile.

Finally copped a pair. I love them! Made me realize how much more suited the Rebel V2 is for faster paces and shorter distances. Before getting the Nova 3, I loved the Rebel V2 but began to feel it in my feet and ankles over longer distances. The Nova 3s are pillows with the bounce to make faster paces a dream. Definitely my favorite shoe of all I've ever owned.

So my recovery pace is 11:30-12:00 min/mile, and easy pace is 10:30 to 11:00/mile. I'm even doing tempos Malmo-style, so marathon pace which is like 10:00-10:30 min/mile. Those are all likely much slower speeds than you're running, and I love the Novablast 2 while running at all of this paces. Just did 2.5 miles this afternoon at recovery pace with the 2 and loved every minute. Not sure if any of this helps, but I hope it does!

I bought my first pair of ASICS Novablast in March of 2020. It was my first pair of shoe that weren’t Brooks and it was the first shoe I saw SJD review (which has opened my eyes to the world of running KZfaqrs.) I used up that first Novablast putting 450 ish miles into them by the end of 2020. I shuffled around in a few other shoes, Hoka’s and other ASICS, but still yearned for a Novablast 2. Once I heard the Novablast 2 was coming out in summer 2021 I purchased the first pair I could get as quickly as possible. I put nearly 500 miles in those and as soon as they were retired I bought another pair of Novablast 2. Those are currently at the 350 mile mark but I am eager to get those to 500 so I can retire them respectfully and dive in to the Novablast 3. This shoe really made running exciting for me again and helped me get back out there either after recovering from injury or losing passion. For me this shoe really captures what ASICS stands for, a healthy mind in a healthy body. 🥰

Hi Mike, since the FFBlast came out, i been in love with it, Novablast 1 has been my long run shoe for quite a while and with almost 1000km on them they still hold very well. I got the Novabalst 2 at a great price deal a week ago and been walking with them on road for the break in. As a coment on the trampoline area you had, i run only/very majorly on roads (asphalt) and the foam arround that area gets like yours, even the Novablast 2 that is new and only walked and few strides shows more signals of worn on that area, on the rest the FFblast looks like new.

Just need something that can do a bit of everything. Basing my choices off the reviews I’ve watched/read, the speed 3’s sound more stable and more forgiving than previous iterations but again I’ve not tried them yet.

As a Novablast V1 owner that had to stop using the shoe due to stability reasons, after transitioning to a standing desk for 2 months, I took the Novablast V1 (400+ KM) out for a few recent runs and even my 20KM long run this past weekend and it wasn't the shoe. It was me. Transitioning from sitting all day to standing has been the #1 improvement for my running health. Hip flexor issues gone, sporactic ITband flare ups gone, strength and stability in the lower leg chain seem night and day to a few months ago. Really looking for ward to snagging a pair of Novablast V3 in the fall to eat through daily miles.

Yo Kofuzi! Thanks for the review! I have wide feet, do you feel these are wide enough and wouldn’t cause too much tightness in the forefoot? I don’t see that they sell them in wide sizes and the Gel-Nimbus are no longer feeling soft enough for me as my mileage increases.

Novablast 1 was really good - I had mine for over 1200km and I used it for everything. As I was about to retire the first pair and wanted to get a second - dam it was out of stock in my country. Got another pair from Amazon but weirdly they didn't feel the same like my first. Then I got the Novablast 2 from the retail store and it was disappointing for me. It felt so heavy (+20g) and stiff. The heel grip was better but added plush which felt very warm in the hot and humid climate. I could use Novablast 1 for all types of runs (easy, speed, long) but not the Novablast 2 which I only use for my easy runs now. Novablast 2 LE (light edition) was recently released so I am undecided between 2 LE or 3 now.

I run 10miles+ everyday, usually switching between two active shoes in one given period. Novablast 3 is just so nice that I have to resist to get them on everyday, otherwise my other pair will stay unused forever. Ones I compare is Clifton 8, adizero, fresh foam 880 / 1280 ...

I’ve been running on Ninmbus 24 and they are great; however, the toe box is a bit narrow. I also run on Tri 13 which are a different shoe but definitely love the wider toe box. How does Novablast 3 compare and is the toe box roomy?
