The ASICS Novablast is one of those shoes that changes tack each generation. It shuffles from being softer and more cushioned, to stiffer and more responsive.
The ASICS Novablast 4 was firmer and snappier and better for faster efforts than the Novablast 3. The latest update, the ASICS Novablast 5, goes back to soft with a new midsole foam that’s tuned for added bounce. But does the springier Flytefoam Max Blast Max midsole help the Novablast 5 hit that do-it-all daily trainer sweetspot? Here’s the verdict in our ASICS Novablast 5 vs Novablast 4 review.
