While it’s not as fun as other shoes with more high tech foams, it’s a really great iteration of a traditional daily trainer. - ASICS Novablast 2, size 9, 52 miles: this one was life-changing the first 3 mile run I did in it. It was bouncy but soft, responsive but cushioned.

Not that soft or roomy

Swapped from Suacony Endorphine Speed 1 to these for last 1.5h of a 4h race. I bought these after a month of research, seeking a second 'main shoe' for training. They are very well made, nice looking materials, good ventilation, good grip. Fit is not particularly roomy and ride isn't super soft, con...

**ASICS Novablast:** Purchased to be my every day trainer. I've now completed four 15k runs in them ranging from 7:30 to 9:30 pace depending on how I felt that morning. I've loved every single run, they are as fun to run in as everyone said. Lots of bounce, not as much cushion as I was expecting but still plenty enough to be comfortable at high mileage.

Not if u pronate.

I love running in these shoes, you spring off of the surface. But, I pronate and it doesn’t take long for me to be running on the inside edge of the she.

Boston 10 after 500 miles

Last run in the Boston 10 after 500 miles. Let's say it up front: this is a firm pair of shoe.

Product looks good

The product has a defect. It is not put together well. On the side, there is a crack between the sole and the upper part of the shoe.

I've now run 250+ miles in a pair of ASICS Novablast 2 and I gotta say, I'm pretty disappointed aside from the gorgeous colorway. Loved the Novablast 1, it's very bouncy, versatile (I've done both tempos and 20 miles in them somehow) and a really fun ride. I was stoked for the Novablast 2 because it was supposed to be more "stable" (I'm still not entirely sure what that means) and after quite a bit of running in them, they just feel heavy and there's no energy return.
