Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 3 Platinum

Super comfortable, slipped them on and away I went on my daily 4.5 mile run. Love the look. Highly recommend.

These shoes might be the best shoes i've ever ran in, however when it's wet out, it feels like you're running on plastic and makes it extremely difficult to get traction. Not to mention in fall conditions with leaves on the ground it leads you to slip more so than a typical shoe - or at least in my own experience.

Great shoes great blend of cushioning and support well made with awesome color scheme

Shoe is comfortable and definitely good for me for long runs and runs with some pickup in speed. Used these for a 10 mile progressive run and they made you want to run faster.

the upper foot is much improved. I have loved the previous versions of Nova Blast. This one is the most comfortable yet. Very Happy.

Super comfortable daily trainers. Responsive cushioning, smooth ride

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I own 3 pair now of the Novablast 3s. I use them for everyday wear, walking and long wear at work. I get many compliments on their looks and many people comment as well about how comfortable they look. I respond with, "it feels like walking on clouds." They do have considerable grip. I notice when walking on wet surfaces the sole creates a suction grip that probably isn't conducive to running but that's in the heel area only. Not a problem for me. Just a funny feeling that's fun to mess around with in the rain. Great shows and especially a great deal when on sale.

Great looking shoe, with amazing comfort! Great for casual wear and hitting the road!

Great daily shoe. Does road and track work well. Great fit and the foam is outstanding.

Beautiful pair of Asics w. Platinum stripes & incredibly comfortable as Novablast 3 has always been. No foot soreness after that often accompanies long run or walk as is common with the others, even including many lower end Asics. THANKS!

Love the shoe! Bought men's (8.5) rather than women's (10). Preferred the dark sole, [purely and aesthetic choice] - - but also wanted any additional width for comfort. Mission accomplished.

The Novablast 3 was highly praised by running personalities as the "must have" daily trainer for 2022. Contender for shoe of the year! Coupling this praise with the further research on my own gait needs, I was set on purchasing a pair. The shoe had a few launch delays without much commentary from Asics (disappointing), but the Platinum version finally released completely worth the wait. I've never owned a more comfortable shoe. Incredibly stylish too. The miles flew by. So worthwhile.

I already wrote a review for the regular Novablast 3, so I won't repeat the details here. I love white running shoes (only for road running, definitely not trail) and had to get this colorway. I have the black/amber and black/white colorways but added the Platinum to my rotation. Looks great and feels and rides as expected - light, bouncy, and fast yet stable and smooth. I have many other great running shoes from ASICS (including the GlideRide 3 and Gel-Nimbus Lite 3) and other brands but, if I had to choose only one from this year, it'd have to be the Novablast 3 for its all-round versatility and superb comfort.
