Customer Reviews ASICS Novablast 3

I have had these for about a month now and can say they have been some of my favorite ASICS to date. Get them. You won't be disappointed.

These shoes are great! I feel like I am running on air when I put these on.

I really like these shoes. They are my current standard choice for asphalt/concrete running training. They are cushy and bouncy, while also allowing me to run faster if I choose to. I recently did my 5K PB in them. I believe that thanks to these shoes I improved my running form. These are neutral shoes, and thanks to the softness of the sole foam I discovered that I'm slightly pronating, which even computer imaging of my feet did not pick up. Knowing this helped me a lot to adjust how I run as well. I also have a bone deformity where my Achilles tendon attaches to the bone and these NovaBlast 3 shoes do not irritate it which is really great! If you are a neutral runner, and want an upgrade over your typical beginner running trainers, these shoes should be on the top of your list.

I have run in all the Novablast models and this is the best version yet. It's not as bouncy as previous models but I prefer the lower drop (V2's drop was much higher than the stated 8 mm). This version is extremely light with great energy return but at the same time has the impact protection of a max cushion shoe. It's really easy on your body and makes running fun. I ordered half size down and the fit is perfect.

What happened to the color electric blue? I want them in electric blue, come back please

I'm on my second pair of NOVABLAST 3 and have used prior version. This is by far my favorite version because of the responsiveness and how they feel light on my feet. I'm a heavy , slowish, runner who heal strikes. These shoes bounce me of the ground I I believe they make me just a tad bit faster. I've gone from just running in 5k's to placing top 3 in my age group. I can tel you I've never performed this well and I've run in ASICS since 2003. Mainly the GT 2000's but their just to heavy for me now that I've gotten older. Bottom line, I'll probably stock up on these because unfortunately every upgrade is subject to be worse and I'm hoping ASICS doesn't mess around to much with this design for NOVA 4.

On my third pair of Novablasts, and as the second iteration was an improvement on the first (a bit more stable), this third is a nice evolution on that. Nicer upper, and improved mid-sole cushioning. Great for the fast training days. And also a good shoe for race day.

The NOVABLAST 3 are my favourite ASICS running shoe for every day. They are a brilliant bouncy shoe, with the ASICS FLYTEFOAM giving it that extra responsiveness in every step! I would highly recommend

The Novablast 3 is a very versatile and comfortable daily trainer. The more I run in it the better it feels. I've been running in different shoes all winter and the Novablast 3 works for me from slow to tempo runs. I like the feel of the foam and how it works with a mid to forefront stride. It works especially well on the road.

The Novablast 2 changed my whole opinion of what Asics was about, and this version has taken it to a new level. Lighter, more cushion without feeling too soft, breathes better and the colorways are too cool! I've got three pair of the 3's and I've run a marathon and many shorter races and training runs in them and this is by far and away the most versatile shoe on the market, IMHO.

I've had multiple pairs of all 3 NovaBlast gens and the 3s are by far the best. Awesome new upper, more cushion than previous gens, amazing color ways, and very stable underfoot. I've ran probably 400 miles on my 4 different pairs of NB3s so far over the last couple months and they haven't disappointed.

I've worn various Nikes and ASICS shoes, and these are my new favorites. I luurve them! Nicely cushioned but still stable and able to pick up the pace. They really are great all-around shoes. Thanks, ASICS!

Best non-carbon shoe I've worn. Very springy! I bought two pair!

They feel like I'm running on clouds. Very helpful since I've been dealing with shin splints.

It's springy, bouncy, weightless and durable. My size is 10.5 but 10 feels great.
