Novablast 3 is 31mm in terms of stack WITHOUT the insole. So around 36/37mm with the insole. Thanks to the good people who flagged it ;)
I think the outsole thickness is also excluded. It is just midsole for ASICS.
Claiming 41/33 on running warehouse. Maybe they decided to throw in the insole and outsole.
i have tried all 3 - My Conclusion
Novablast - turned off by scratchy/rough material in the upper, was expecting more bounce but never felt it
Speed 3: Super Flexible, not as aggressive as Speed 2 and experienced hot spot, but still enjoyed it until...
Deviate Nitro 2: Came in and - felt like i was riding a SPEED 2 with Stability and better laces!
The Deviate Nitro 2 - IS the shoe - i had hoped the Suacony Speed 3 was going to be!
My 2023 Training Shoe lineup is now complete:
EASY DAY: Asics Nimbus 25
Daily Trainer: Deviate Nitro 2
Race Day: Saucony Speed 2
Which one has the widest toe box? How is the fit?
@@slavasss2189 The widest toe box of my 2023 lineup is the Nimbus 25. The Deviate Nitro 2 and Saucony Speed 2 are more narrow and hug my foot. -
Of the 3 reviewed in this video - IMO the Saucony Speed 3 is the widest toe box
@@ray-raym6551 so you mean Novablast is narower than Speed 3??? i am surprised, lol
@@slavasss2189 Yes, i believe the reason my foot feels that way is because the upper of the Novablast is heavier than the speed 3. The speed 3 has more breathability which i factor into the "Width feel"
I’ve never seen a more comprehensive consideration of the different factors that affect a buying decision (eg Pronaters, heavier runners, heel strikers, etc etc). Well done, Alex and thank you!
Great comparison video! Very thorough and delivery of concise information.
On a side note, your videos are getting better and more refined (not that they weren't in the first place). I appreciate the small "info bubbles" as oppose to abruptly jumping to website screenshots. You are definitely finding your groove :)
great video, those little "windows" with information are a very good tool to make the comparison much more understandable.
Yes ive got all three of these excellent shoes. For me the odd one out is the Nova Blast 3 which i use for long runs and recovery days. Ive only had the Puma's for a few days but i am really enjoying them really comfortable upper nice lockdown. They definitely work better for faster sessions but do feel on the heavier side and probably wouldn't do anymore than 8 miles in them and definitely wouldn't race in them. The Endorphin Speeds which i left till last straight away felt much lighter and faster and i definitely would race in these and have done over 10 mile runs in them with out really knowing they were on my feet. If you can't afford the Endorphin Speeds the Puma's are a absolute bargain and you can get them for under one hundred pounds on some sites.
I’m a heel striker and the Novablast 3 is the one for me…love them!👌
Good stuff, Alex...your content is always top notch
Thanks so much Josh!
I have the Pumas and I absolutely love them. They aren't as 'race ready' as the Endorphin Speeds (v1 or v2 at least... I haven't tried v3), but they are super versatile, grippy and durable. The outsole in the Speeds is a very weak point: not only it does not have good traction, but in V3 it seems to compromise durability a lot and that, for a versatile trainer that is not exactly cheap, IS important!
Spot on!!
Hi cristianfcao, totally agree with you. I have the NB3 TR, got the TR ver coz i wanna maxmize the mileage out of the asics and the TR ver has got at least double the outsole thickness from what i compared in the stores. Also seems to have improved a little on the wet traction over the original as well from what i have read, probably due to the lugs.
I have ran on wet outdoor tiles cornering in the NB3 TR at relatively high speeds (like 10-12 kmh tight 3 metre radius corners), no issue. Some folks in other comment sections mentioned wet manholes and drain covers, I mean come on even the super good Puma Grip outsole would slip, don't even mention about NB3. I also have the deviate nitro 2, love the yellow/slight orange at the rear colourway! The speed 3 is way too costly over here in physical stores, not helped with the higher base price and relatively little discounts. My wife just got the deviate nitro 2 at a little over usd 100 a few days ago (-43% plus an additional 5% with promo code and shipping was just usd 11), even cheaper than the NB3 after discount! But i guess for those elite runners and/or have a bigger budget, no issue with the Speed 3 and with what it brings.
For the rest of us recreational runners/joggers, actually even a nitro velocity 2 is already more than sufficient. lol
The Puma are top 5 most versatile trainers ever. They can be used as gravel run shoes also.
Asics Novablast is probably my favorite shoe for long runs. It is one of the few shoes where I can go long and my feet do not hurt. I also love the bounciness and sometimes use for threshold sessions. Also great for easy runs.
Thank you, Alex. Great comparison. I love the "lighter runner" recommendations in your reviews. Sometimes I try the running shoes and they feel like a brick to me since I probably don't compress them enough.
Exactly!! Foam compression is what it comes down to!!
I just bought my Deviate 2, not wore them yet. I will replace w them my Endorphin Speed 1 and my Adidas Adizero Boston 10 soon. I love the Sauconys so I will probably buy also a pair of Speed 2 o 3. I found Deviates 1 so confortable that I use them as every day walking shoes! Great video!
I love my Novablast 3’s for easy and long runs!! Probably the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever owned and are super bouncy and responsive! I would say they are fairly versatile, but there are probably other shoes that are better for tempo/faster paces. Their best aspects I think are comfort, cushioning and saving your legs when putting in loads of miles at easier paces.
Thanks for your feedback, I can only agree with the words you chose to describe this shoe!
👍🏼 review! Would you consider the Asics Noosa tri 14 instead of Novablast 3 for uptempo? Thanks ✌🏻
My speed 2's have seen better days and I was considering getting the 3's but now I'm thinking I might give the Puma's a go!
Love the Endorphin Speed 3 & FYI it is good for wider feet.
have the NovaBlast 3 and the Deviate Nitro 2 and i love booth of them
Same here :-) Thanks for your comment
Good comparison.
I own two of the three and they both achieve the same thing with different methods. The Speed has a more flexible plate but firmer foam while the deviate has a stiffer plate and softer foam.
I’ve done more sessions in the speed 3 and it’s a great shoe for that but it’s a no go for autumn running here with wet metal, slimy leaves and muddy paths. The deviate is a shoe that seems to get better every run at the moment. Effortless pace and good leg protection. My current favourite go to shoe (although I’m currently waiting for it to dry out after an insanely heavy rainstorm the other day).
The deviate feels more muffled because of the thickness of Puma grip but is a brilliant shoe while the speed feels more lively at first wear.
The ASICS, I’ve decided to leave for now as I’m going to pick up the Superblast because it looks insane. 😅
+1 for superblast.. 😁😁😁
I feel like the Deviate is growing on all of us right now ;-) Thanks for your comment and valuable feedback as always
I have Novablast 3, Saucony Endo Speed 3, Adidas Boston 12, Puma Deviate Nitro 2 and soon Puma Magnify Nitro 2 and Liberate Nitro 2 are coming. The reason why I purchased other two nitro because of Puma Deviate Nitro won them all but Boston 12 comes second
Alex, as always, your content and analysis is INDUSTRY BENCHMARK, no doubt about it.
WE NEED TO REVISIT THIS COMPARISON AS
100miles used Puma v Saucony v SUPERBLAST
...critical to know what the MIDLIFE durometer from 100-300miles for these up tempo, I suapect nitrogen infused better over the full life, SUPERBLAST to be as good at 300miles, as at 100miles.
Love this comparison idea! Thanks for your comment and contribution to this channel, Dominic
I have try all 3 shoes and for me Puma ist the best one
😍 basically the review I requested a few videos ago in the comment 🤩
Tho I'd like to hear why you decided to field the Novablast for Asics and not the Magic nor the Noosa.
Good question! Noosa would be the perfect candidate but it's a niche shoe and many people want to know how shoes compare against what they're familiar with (and many people know the Nova) ;-) Hope this makes sense and thanks again for suggesting this video a few weeks ago
Nice video. I've never been a big fan of the Endorphin Speed line. The foam feels dead and no way would I race in it. I don't even use it for intervals, where a shoe like the Adios 7 is more comfortable, more responsive, and faster. I have a couple pairs of the Endorphin Pro and I'd use them for every run over the Speed. Maybe it's just my gait cycle, but it doesn't work for me. I wear them for walking around shoes now
what do you think deviate nitro 2 for daily & easy longrun?
If you had to pick one between the Novablast and the Mach 5, which one would you go for? I just want one shoe for everything, some days I want to pick up the pace, others take it easy.
NOVABLAST 3 ❤🤝🏼
Would you suggest it to run a marathon at pace 4.45 min / km ?
Which one is more stable?
I would think of Noosa Tri 14 before Novablast 3 for up tempo runs.
Thanks for the review by the way !
You're welcome Ben! I'd agree that Noosa makes more sense for tempo paces but it's unfortunately a niche shoe and many people are rather considering their Nova for that type of efforts. Hope this clarifies why I picked the Nova for this video
Looks like deviate win all categories. I have the deviates and it's the best shoe iv run in a long time
Yes it does and yes it’s absolutely great!
Well done, Alex. I find the Speed 3 to be superior to Novablast 3 although I always run faster in either. Now, since I value your opinion greatly could you review the New Balance Rebel 3?
It is intriguing due to its softness and weight. Any thoughts?
Hi Tim! Rebel v3 is coming up later this month or early december. It's an important review so I need to put more miles on this shoe before talking about it. But in essence it will comes down to the softness/efficiency ratio...and the rebel will be softer but most likely way less efficient. Hope this makes sense
Great video! but what do you mean in weight when you talk about heavier runner ?
Thanks a lot, Matthias! Probably somewhere above 85/90kg (more than 200lbs). But that's more of a guess to be honest. Hope this helps
Still hard to choose, between Novablast 3 or Deviate Nitro 2...🤗
Thanks for great comparison bro.. 👏👍
Deviate Nitro 2 ;-)
@@AlexFilitti Okay 🙏
Hi. I'm 53, i play a football match and run just twice (sometimes 1 sometimes 3 times) a week. I started to run last year alone so it's not easy for me to be constant in training but i try, even if i have to fight against my "weak" mind to keep the right motivation. However, depending on the time a can spend for training the distance I run is from 5 to 10, 11 or 12 km and the average speed is about 5'15" (you can laugh!). But i'd likes to improve both the distance and the speed. Please don't tell anyone my dream is to run a half marathon (try not to laugh n.2) I have to replace my Mizuno Wave Rider 25 with a comfortable and responsive shoe. Novablast 3 and Deviate Nitro 2 are very interesting. Do you think one of these could be the right choice for an old 67 kg dreamer like me? Thank you. P.S. Alex, where are you from?
Do you think the stiffer plate in the Puma's is going to be more aggressive with the lower leg muscles than the SP3? Soleus and tibialis posterior? I have some problems with stiff plates like RC Elite or Vaporfly so I try to avoid training in them as much as I can.
Its 30% plastic plate in pumas so it bends more than full carbon
The Novablast 3, on the first 21km run, gave me hot spots in my right sole. Totally disappointed. But I recently bought the Puma Deviate Nitro 2, on my first 7km run I'm totally impressed
I also faced same issue i.e, hot spots in right sole after 28KMs easy long run in Novablast 3😮
I have to disagree with the Speed 3 😉
I've done +250k on every terrain and pace with the Endorphin Speed and the shoe is very stable. The "wings" do a great job. Grip is as you mentioned. The shoe is also on the wide side on the forefoot. My feet are on the wide side and the fit is just perfect.
Another plus is the wear and tear: The shoe will last almost forever. After the 250k mark the outsole looks like new.
Their is no way you have done 250k in a pair of runners 😂
@@pauldonohoe3646 250 kilometres? Perfectly doable lol
@@ThatRunnerAaron 😂 250km then, not 250k😂
@@pauldonohoe3646 runners just usually put K, and most of us usually understood what it meant lol. like how people said 5k, 10k, etc
@@acfans6101 yes, I know what he meant, it was just a friendly reply I gave him🙏 I wasn't trying to be a smart arse😊👍
What is good for wide feet?
Nice breakdown Alex.. Would the Novablast 3 be the bounciest running shoe of any shoe available that you have tried?
Probably in the top3 with invincible being even bouncier (but not as good on many other aspects)
Ok thanks
Is the Deviate 2 much better then the Velocity 2 ?
I ask because I loved running with my recently bought Velocity 2 .It is lightweight, bouncy ,fun and comfortable but It could have a bit more structure in the heel clip to help evade excessive overpronation.
Completely different running experience. I found the soft foam on the velocity 2 too unstructured and flexible. I love deviate’s plate, with the soft foam. It adds stability and flow to my runs
I have been using the Velocity Nitro 2 as my daily trainer for my first marathon this coming November. Not aiming for a fast time and just planning to enjoy the experience.
I'm thinking of getting a race shoe that feels nice for not so fast/easy pace marathon distance with good cushioning. Do you think the Deviate Nitro 2 is a good option? Or the Boston 12?
Deviate is too similar
Honestly none of them. Boston is too firm for what you're looking for. Asics Superblast or Brooks Glycerin or NB More v4 could be options to consider. Hope this helps
Nice comparison. How would you compare the sizing? I have never run in puma before but am a 12.5/13 in the speed 3. Being in Australia I only have the choice of 12 or 13 when it comes to puma
I would tend to go for the13 in the puma as well. Thanks a lot for your comment
@@AlexFilitti thanks!
Enjoying your videos. One suggestion: try to avoid saying "this shoe compared to this shoe". I don't know about others, but I don't always watch carefully. I might be multitasking while listening to the review. So as a result, I might not know what shoe you are talking about.
Thank you! Your suggestion makes a lot of sense as I myself tend to multitask while watching/listening to videos
i cant find that green color u have
I keep hearing ff blast+ bottoms out quickly? If so I will stick with power run pb for its longevity
Don't think it is easy to bottom out in the NB3 (FF Blast+), I tried sprinting in it (I do SIT, power walking and jogging) and it never bottomed out. For those say > 120kg weight wearing a US size 10, perhaps they would bottom out if they tried sprinting....that's double my weight, and so i am thinking that'd be similar of halving the stack height? Possible bottoming out.
I have the Novablast 3 (NB3) and Endorphin Speed 3 (ES3) and love them both. They get the most of my weekly miles. I should receive the Deviate Nitro 2 any day now and am really looking forward to comparing it to NB3 and ES3 as a daily trainer. For me, the NB3 sits closer to the easy/recovery category but you can certainly pick up the pace as it's fairly light (7.9 oz or 224g in my US size 8). The ES3 is definitely faster and a little lighter (7.3 oz or 207g in 8.5 as I found I need to size up half-size on most of my Saucony shoes).
I rotate between the ES3 and NB3 depending on how I feel on a given day. If I don't want to exert myself too much and want to bounce along, then it's the NB3. If I'm feeling energized and want to really pick up the pace, then it's the ES3. I also have the Mach 5 that I like to rotate in once in a while for a squishier feel but is still fast. So, for tempo, I'd say the ES3 amongst what I have but I'll have to see what Deviate Nitro 2 is like and that'll happen soon enough! Very excited based on all the great reviews I've seen/read about it.
How did you find the DN2 vs the NB3 and ES3, assuming you've been using it already.
@@DOLwm Out of these three, I used the ES3 and it was my main daily trainer for several months almost exclusively and I put a lot of miles into it. Then, NB3 came along and that became my favorite for a while although I continued to rotate between the two as they feel and ride quite different.
I thought I was set on the daily trainer category for a long while to come and then I started seeing all these raving reviews about the DN2. I really didn't need another daily trainer but thought, "Why not? Let's give this a try. Seems like it's different enough from the ES3 and NB3."
I got it and, initially over the first 2~3 miles, I thought it was okay but wasn't blown away by it. Then, when I got to around 6~7 miles, I really started getting what this shoe is about. The ride is a muted and not as fun and bouncy as the NB3 and it's not as snappy and fast as the DN2 but it felt really steady and just kept chugging me along very smoothly.
When I picked up the pace, it had no problem adjusting to my gait cycle to go fast. When I slowed down, it became smoother with nice cushioning and the plate kept propelling me forward without much exertion. The DN2 can literally do it all and do them all very well. I love it and it has now become my favorite all-round running shoe.
You can do short tempo and interval runs and sprints and you can go easy and long and everything in between seamlessly and effortlessly. It is by far the most versatile running shoe I've tried. The overall feel and ride is somewhere in between the ES3 and NB3. It can feel a little firm/stiff at first but loosens up nicely. It takes a little bit of break-in but not 20~30 miles or anything like that. It's robust yet extremely comfortable, protective (well-cushioned) but fast and nimble, and workhorse-like but still exciting. I agree with Alex. This is 2022's Shoe of the Year.
@@alexkhan2000 ^Good info. Do you mind sharing your weight?
@@user-bs8ff8id3x This is from a long time ago. :) I've moved on from NB3 and ES3 but still love my Deviate Nitro 2. The NB Rebel v3 has essentially replaced the NB3 and Adidas Boston 12 has replaced the ES3. The DN2 sits somewhere in between the two for me. I'm 5-7 (167cm) and 127 lbs (57kg) so fairly lightweight.
Which one is best for runners who are heavy in weight
Puma!
@@AlexFilitti thanks bro
...yeah, PUMA GRIP....is crazy good
BEST QUOTE EVER, why aren't all shoe manufacturers copying???
Agreed! We need more grips similar to Puma's :-)
Is the Puma good for jump rope?
Hi,
I am searching for the exact same purpose, please let me know for any recommendations.
Thanks,
Happy jumping 😊
Hi is up tempo the same as tempo?
Uptempo is a bit broader for me in terms of meaning. Tempo being a part of « uptempo ». But very similar for sure
Why are you comparing plate shows with non plate shoes?
What matters most is foams (see recent studies on the actual purpose of plates in running shoes) and of course rides. Therefore I believe it’s ok to compare shoes that have great rides despite not sharing the same specs. Hope this makes sense :)
Where is the HOKA Mach 5???
In the daily trainer video. Could have been here for sure
@@AlexFilitti i think that Mach 5 is faster shoe than the Novablast 3 ..?!!!
