Got my Novablast 5 (black/white with royal blue highlights) on Tuesday. Ran a 10K PB. Just ran this morning a half marathon PB in them. I don't remember how the NB4 felt because I ran them to the ground, and I also rotate with the Brooks Hyperion Max 2 for speed sessions and the Brooks Glycerin Max for shorter recovery miles, but the results of how the shoe feels and works speak itself.
Wow! That does speak for itself! And congratulations that’s great to hear. It sounds like the 4 served you well and the 5 is living up to the legacy. Great options for a well rounded rotation with the Hyperion and G max. Nice job 👍
@@paulcarlson4230 yep the tongue on the 3 wasn’t great imo too much, flopsy and would crinkle. Ick. I’d say the 4s actually were a very pleasant experience all round. These 5s are something else tho. The 4s are on sale now 💰
They do love a beginning of the month drop: NB2 6/2/21, NB3 9/1/22, NB4 12/1/23, NB5 12/1/24. This terrestrial spectacle deserves a 3rd ventricle for my runners heart. I predict this one will live up to the heritage. Feels like a big update (upper and foam)
@@MyFatAdaptedLife absolutely. You planted the seed back when the max/4 shoet went down thinking about the upcoming 5 so yes most definitely would be more of a comparable one with an eye on the midsole specifically, etc. is a main reason for purchase. So for that I thank you 😊
Let's go! 🔥🔥🔥
Yes!!!!! 🤠

I like that color way. Haven’t seen that one. Where can I find it?
Hey there. This was on the asics main site 👍
I bought the 3s when everyone was bragging about it, but wasn't impressed and the tongue thickness is great but does not stay

Asics is very consistent (and predictable). I set my sundial to when the new Novablast revision releases.

@RunningNPAdventures What do you think about an NB5 and GlideRide Max shoe(t)out? Just a thought.

@RunningNPAdventures I was thinking midsole, too.
Yup
