NOVABLAST (1011B072)

I’m a heavy runner, the Novablasts are a good shoe but they feel dead to me too quickly. I ran a half in them and they were fine.

235lb runner here. Novablast is the best answer. Evo SL is good but the lack of stability especially for heavier guy can be a deal breaker, but worth a try.

I loved the feel of the sl in store but on runs yes I was much quicker but hated the instability. Novablast as slowly become the shoe I grab if im just heading out to do whatever run sub 10k

6 hour marathon runner. 100kg 225-235 runner. I trained up to half marathon in 1 shoe nimbus 24. To marathon i rotated novablast, nimbus 25, super blast. I did not like the superblast too firm but it does make me faster for same effort level. The nimbus handled long runs and even marathon with comfort but did require more energy aka as slower. This years marathon rotation is adidas sl, novablast and nimbus 27. Next year I expect to be faster and swapping to new balance sc trainer for long run and race day. Hope that helped.

235 Marathoner working on ironman training. This has been my go to. I have wide feet so all are in wide except EVO SL. Recovery run = Nimbus 28 Daily trainer = Novablast they lost some pop after 150 but still good up to 250 before i replaced them Tempo = EVO SL Long run = NB SC Trainer

Novablasts are the best value daily trainer and last forever. I put 800-900km on each pair and then transition them to walking shoes. Surprisingly durable and keep their bounce way longer than anything from NB in the similar price range.

Yeah they can be a little slippery. Honestly I got a bit anxious and couldn’t believe I was still running in them after 800km so I retired them but I think they had more.

I honestly feel like they get better with age. Can’t explain it exactly, but when other shoes wear out (looking at you NB rebel) these wear in. They feel even better after 500km

Asics Novablast if you can find the prior model on sale. I always buy last year’s model for around $100.

Yes this for the novas for sure
