You’re changing the game, ASICS..
Post 75 miles Review: I’ve used this shoe for short and long runs. Even though the stack height is high, it can be used for all types of runs (easy, tempo, etc.) ; quiet versatile. I went true to size and they fit just right. If you’re wanting less ground contact, this is the shoe you want. Yes, there’s a “bounce” to the shoe. No sign of wear or tear. Overall, I’m satisfied and will continue to run in this shoe. I’m predicting this shoe will have a long shoe life (400+ miles).

Great midsole, teme
Ok! So Im writting this to Say the good and the bad things.Pro: this new FF BLAST technology is one of the best that I’ve used, much better Than On Cloud, Nike Reaction and same or Little bit better than Ultraboost 20, muuuuuch better than any Mizuno shoe and Saucony the midsole is too stable, even if you step too right or left the shoe tries to keep the foot in the center. I think Midsole and FF Blast tech is a 10 out of 10.Cons: the construction of the shoe, laze and sides are just loose, I think, somehow big, there’s no evidence of fit or stretch technology anywhere and the feeling that the shoe provides is “loose” i think that doesn’t mater when you are doing speed sesions, fartleks, etc but, I used them today in a Half Marathon and it feels big/loose, if you are used to wear shoes like Ultraboost, Nova boost, NB 1080, Etc. This will make you feel different and uncomfortable.Overall Comment:From my personal point of view. 3 out of 5 is fair. The midsole is the highest point, stable, soft but firm, cushion and bounce response, simple amazing . But the “mesh” is uncomfortable, no fit at all, feels loose and big. My recomendation is to use them for no longer than 1:30:00 hours, 10k to 21k. Definitely Not for longer distance like Marathon.The price is acceptable.

Wrong color twice
I love these shoes, but this is the second time I've been sent a blue/pink/black/green pair instead of black on black. If you are planning on buying the black on black with a white-speckled sole, do not order it, it's not what you'll receive. I love these shoes so I ordered two pairs, and I will use them. It's just annoying not to be sent what is advertised.

Like running on pillows, but better
I love this shoe! The Flyte Foam is really good and the sole rubber is holding up great 100 miles in! Fit was spot on for me. Laced up fit is also great; no heel slip and no weird rub spots.The sole has what I think are unreal cushioning and rebound characteristics.I love these shoes for short and medium distance runs. Hell, I even use them for long distance runs. I also use them for some tempo runs occasionally. I don't use these for a lot of faster tempo days, or speed work. The spring to them is great and the weight of the shoes is fine in my opinion, so those are not the reasons for me. The reason I don't use them for speed work is the softness under those types of loads. For me at speed, a lot of ankle stability goes right out of the window in this shoe. Nothing like the Nimbus under the same conditions in my experience.If you are a runner who is new, or has stability issues with your foot strike, either look at the Nimbus or move on until you're ready. I'm not one to talk people out of a product that I so overwhelmingly recommend but this shoe at times can feel like running on a bed or couch to me (I weight approx. 160 lbs). However, I love it. There is a ton of spring back with the cushion and I am a forefoot striker. The cushioning by no means feels dead. In fact it's my favorite part, but I can see how if a person didn't have great stability in their gate then they may provoke an injury. Especially at a 10mm stack height.The Nova Blast are a tool for the tool box. If you need the tool, great. If the tool is applicable, great. If it's the wrong tool, do yourself a favor and keep moving...In this area of neutral cushion shoes I also use the Nimbus, the Cumulus, and the GEL-Quantum Infinity. All great with different feel and purposes.Enjoy your run! The Nova Blast are a great shoe.

Bouncy and Fun - One Stop Shop
I am extremely pleased with my purchase of the ASICS Novablast. I have put them through the paces...long runs, short runs, and everything in between. I’ve put almost 100 miles on them already and they are still resilient and provide plenty of bounce without being too squishy. They are breathable and the high stack height helps reduce the beating on my legs during those 20+ milers. Amazing job ASICS!

Excellent long run shoes
Excellent shoes for mid and long run . Maybe I have to say ...take care with the water when go inside the Novablast because the feeling is wet wet wet .

Awesome running shoes
By the time of this review I have run 6 times with them and put 7 miles per run. Of course this is a personal opinion every foot is different and the feelings can variate from person to person.Since it's a written review I do not want to extend that much so it is easier for other people to read.I think these shoes are meant for longer runs in general and use for regular training. The shoe is not meant to be a racing shoe. I think it's a little bit heavier for that purpose. I think it's amazing for daily training. The mid sole is extremely comfortable and cushy. it feel great every step. The outsole is holding pretty well. it still look intact after 42 miles. It's kind of early to determine the duration of it but it promises long life span. the upper is nice and breathable but not enough for Miami Beach Summers. No shoes,, no matter how expensive they are will keep your feet fry here. For other states with better weather will be nice.The only con I can find so far is you might need to adapt a little at the beginning to the sensation of the flytfoam.But in general is a fantastic running shoes. I would recommend to anyone. From my perspective the price/quality is above the other brands in the same "league"

big soft fit
great stylinggreat bouncy feelBut the fit is a size too big ( as compared to my other four pairs of Asics), and as such my foot is completely unstable and unable to use these things.Three runs in and have consigned them to the cupboard for life.Disappointed

Speed runners
Very light trainer. i have a pair of hoka one carbon x which are technically lighter by near 40grams than this trainer but this trainer feels lighter on the foot, i am running faster in this trainer as well. only thing i would say is there seems to be a bit of a gap bewtween the ankle and the mouth of the trainer so it can feel like your running unsafely eg. you could fall over if you have weakish ankles, bar that a great trainer

Possible bad batch or counterfeit.
These felt like counterfeits to me or a bad batch. This was my third pair as I do a lot of running and had way less cushioning than my other novablasts. I sent these back and ordered from a proper running shop and there perfect. I have mentioned it to amazon so hopefully they will investigate.

5* for running 👌🏻
So unbelievably comfortable. Felt like I was stacked high when first on but so incredibly springy. I use for distance running, which felt easier with these & my normal aches: knees, hips, felt much better! 👌🏻 Highly recommend 5*
