Ran my 1 mile race today. DGR. Fast for me. 9:12. Got out too fast and hung on for dear life. Next goal, 30 minute 5k. Best!
For being one of the best running youtubers (in terms of your running, and speed), you make your reviews really beginner friendly...I really like that...not that I am a beginner, but its nice that you explain these terms :) when I started being a little more precise when buying shoes, I didnt really understand some of these terms, and wished people would explain them in reviews :)
COMMENT OF THE DAY!!!
The vlogs have really helped me the past few days as I am in quarantine for testing positive for COVID-19. I miss my running especially, with my track season being disrupted thank you for the daily inspiration keep it up!
Running shoe battle: Novablast 2 vs Hoka Mach 4!!!
Yes plz!
Seth you inspired my to do my first trail run today. I’m running track but decided to seek beauty today. Thank you!
I love it every time you put that clip of you running into that lady into the vlog. I’ve never seen somebody at a running event act so bothered by a runner 😂😂
Favorite Song that describes me: "Rocky Mountain High," by John Denver. As a kid growing up in the San Juan and La Plata Mountains, each day was spent splashing in alpine creeks, scrambling up sandstone-studded mountains, and running through meadows seemingly gone color-mad with wildflowers. Nearly 6-decades later? That song, and everything John Denver stood for, still triggers my spiritual heart like an emotional avalanche. head bowed from Durango,
QD: The Song the gets me going to turn that doorknob or pumped on race morning
U2: Streets with no name. Gives me chills.......
Circled back here to check if you had blisters from Novablast 2 like you had from the 1. Good to hear this one is blister-free for you and I'll probably buy a pair because I LOVED the ride and bounce of the 1 but it gave me crazy blisters on the back of my achilles tendon.
I had the same problem with the novablast 2
Novablast 2 vs Rebel v2!
Make it happen Seth!
Wow!
Novablast 2 feels so good! I was so happy 😁 running in these.
600+ miles on the Novablast 1. Still springy in the mid sole. Forefoot outsole tread wearing down, but there is still enough rubber and spring for this 42 yr old to put in another 200 miles on this shoe. 25 to 50 miles a week for me. Plan to buy Novablast 2 in December. 12 month shoe.
Thanks, was wondering how long they'd hold up for.
@@miriammoriarty8588 retired NB1 at 618 miles. Mid sole started to feel flat. Bought NB2 and put 658 miles on them. Prefer NB1 to NB2. Currently running in New Balance Rebel v2 as my daily trainer, only 145 miles in, but I like them. Plan to get Novebkast 3 in Sept as it seems to be a big improvement over NB2 - mainly lighter and better midsole.
@@WePiphany Nice!
I wore my old Novablast 2s to cut grass yesterday. After running my New Balance Rebel v2s for several weeks - the Novablast still felt better, despite being 650+ miles old and retired.
Love your channel and thank you for the review. I have the Novablast 1 and love them - can’t wait to pick up the 2nd version. Nothing for me has absorbed the impact as well (much better than even the Brooks Glycerine 19) and at the same time feels like you’re running on springs. They make running fun, and I can run longer and without as much soreness. For reference, I’m 6’1”, 185lbs with high arches (probably under-pronate a bit)
I don’t know how Asics is figuring out their stack heights but no way the stack height is 30mm in the heel and 22mm in the forefoot. It’s probably closer to 40mm in the heel and 32mm in the forefoot. On the 1st version if you measure the heel from the outside it’s 40mm in height.
I like that you took the time to explain drop, every video could be someones first video.
Amen by For King and Country
Glad to see that ASICS has some better color ways of this version for women than the V1! Might have to pick up a pair this summer!
Cutting corners stability your opinion is spot on exact, I do feel there’s not the best but I love them
2 things: 1. Favorite all time Tom Petty song: Runnin down a dream. Saw him live at The Gorge WA and will never forget 👊
2. Novablast 2 review: WHERES THE GOOSE?? 🐦 🪶 🎺 IS IT LOOSEY???GOOSEY??? Don’t leave us hangin!!!
The first Novablast is my favorite running shoe so I can't wait to pick up a pair of these.
QD: Gonna fly now (from Rocky) is my favorite training song
It gives me goose bumps listening to this classic again. Rocky has been an inspiration to my life.
QD: "Without You" by Avicii. Simple that is what boys in my age will do... without gf, i can do everything, have fun with hommies, family, my study, but yeah, inside that fun i have a bit lonely by missing her...
Running of Empty 🎵 running till the tank is fumes to getting ready for Grandmas Marathon in Duluth, Mn next month.👍🏼
As someone looking to consistently shake my own foundation; to challenge what I believe and alter my actions to follow my evolving values, i can't think of a better tune than 'The times they are a-changin'" by Bob Dylan. I was quite a difficult student, to say the least. It was my 8th grade year that i was shown the work of Bob Dylan by my history teacher. We would listen to songs between classes and he gave me some tapes to listen to at home. This song encouraged me to rethink the story i believed that would cause me to spin out of control; to look at life as a gift that happens for us, not to us. All it takes is understanding that the times indeed are changing and we have to change with it or we'll sink like a stone.
Tom Petty was one of my first concerts. I was a teenager and it was the Full Moon Fever tour. Lenny Kravitz opened up for him (no one knew anything about LK at the time.) Good times
QoD: Curtis Mayfield "People Get Ready" (1965). With lyrics like "People get ready, there's a train coming, don't need no ticket, you just get on board" - Puts me in such a good place when I run. Slow-tempo, slows heart rate, but maintains that I'm simply on a track so I'm coming, and I hope other folks run too! 🛤🚟🏃...🤣🤙
QD: "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" by George Jones. I grew up singing it with my grandfather who was the definition of a tough old man until cancer took him. Everytime I think of excuses or just don't feel like going on that song gives me the extra kick in the backside to go.
go turn that door knob!! DGR Classic!!!
The Novablast 2 vs Endorphin Speed 2 video is gonna be awesome!
My favorite daily trainer of the year.
Im really looking forward to the running shoe battle with the endorphin speed 2! I was considering the rebel v2 but im 6'2" and 170 lbs so I feel like that ultra soft midsole won't hold up the way the novablast 2 will. Super excited to see how it fares next to the speed 2. Pretty sure one of the two of them will be my next pair! The pressure is on!
Any updates?
^
@@simonalcroft7897 I got the original endorphin speed and the novablast 2. I like them both but I think I prefer the novablast 2. For perspective though, im a novice runner. Ive only been running about a year and my "hard days" are 3 miles at a 10 minute/mile pace. Hahaha
@@AmazonSmurfette I'm actually debating between those 2 shoes ans Nike Pegasus 39. Can you compare the Novablast 2 and the original endorphins speed in more depth? Actually just need to know which one is softer and also which one fits Wider?
QD: “When legends rise” by Godsmack is my jam. Nothing and I mean nothing fires me up like that song.
Seeing that it's from Godsmack, I had to check out the song. This one's good. I'll check the whole album out!
Great tune!
Great song and album. Mine too
I'm feeling pretty much no difference after 350miles of first version and seems like I need to purchase second pair of them before getting my hands to Novablast 2.
Asics should thank Seth because I'm feeling there's plenty of runners ending to purchase Novablast after these promising reviews ☺️
Lmao why the fck would you buy a second pair of nb1 when theres a 2?
@@sp3c0ps if version 2 doesn't feel good I can still have relatively fresh pair of version 1 in the use, first pair of Novablast 1 has +600miles at the moment and having new pair of them is setting now in 35miles and saving them only for specific sessions. Didn't yet purchase Novablast 2 but they will be long in the stock ☺️
COMMENT OF THE DAY!!!
QD: I'm a music teacher and love this question! I choose Freedom for a Change by Gizmo Varillas. This song is super positive and up-lifting. It makes me feel more connected to other people, like how I'm connected to all of you in the simple action of turning that doorknob! Here are some lyrics: "Everybody wants just a little direction. Everybody just needs a little conviction. Everybody hurts, everybody heals." "It's a beautiful day. Freedom, freedom, freedom for a change"
I had 4 Pairs Have my 5th Pair atm of the Novablast 1. And i can say the outsole is still all good above 900km the AHAR hat just two little wears. But the midsole lasts for me 800-900 km and I am a 192cm 85 Kg Runner.
Good morning everybody
: I don't know if I'd say this song describes me, but I always get hype when "Gladiator" by Zayde Wolf comes on during runs.
QD: 1979 Smashing Pumpkins...intro gets you fired up! Was waiting for this to come up. For all runners who loves listening to music when running/training.
I just received the Novablast 2 in the same colourway and wauw.. the shoes look so cool in this colour.
Hello.nice review...which one do you prefer most for daily trainer...novablast or magic speed??
DGR Strong 💪
Yesterday I bought my fourth pair of the novablast 2... I also have the 3s but only using them just for easy days... The 2s are still my most favourite running shoe next to the NB FF SC Trainer (Long Runs) ... The 2s were just 70 euros over here in Germany
Hi,do you notice the heal lining inside prematurely wearing, mine are after a few wears
QD: Foo Fighters-Walk
A great song with good things talking of those moments in your life when everything starts over again in there is a moment where you got to break through monotony to become the best part of oneself
Is there much different between the novablast 2 or 1 ?
QOD: Hall of Fame - The Script.
It automatically play whenever I was down n tired on the run
QD: John Parr. St Elmo's Fire. (Man in Motion). Just tremendous back story behind that song with Rick Hansen pushing his wheelchair around the entire World. Real hero.
QD: Definitely song "Feel" by Robbie Williams. The message of this song is that we all have a purpose on this planet and that other people need to understand and listen us better. Onward and upward!
We need Novablast V1 vs V2 man! Is it worth to get v1 on discount or buy v2?
Yes
Meni boljši v1
QD: "Born to run" by the Boss. Obvious I suppose 😏. My take on the song lyrics, you are not defined by your start in life but if you have the heart you can reach the clouds! Use the strength of your experiences to power your future. Let's be amazing everyone, summer, and my first ever marathon😳 is coming!😁
QD: Descending by Tool is who I try to be when the run gets tough
Sound our dire reveille
Rouse all from our apathy
Lest we
Cease to be
Stir us from our
Wanton slumber
Mitigate our ruin
Call us all to arms and order
Sound the dread alarm
Through the primal body
Sound the reveille
To be or not to be
Rise
Stay the grand finale
Stay the reading of our swan song and epilogue
One drive to stay alive
Elementary
Muster every fiber
Mobilize
Stay alive
I'd personally like a three way battle between mach 4, rebel v 2 and novablast 2.
It’s A Long Way To The Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll), AC/DC. There’s a lot of climbing to be done here in SW Colorado! 😊👊🏼💪🏼🙏🏼
ps Dedicating this to those in the DGR Virtual Vert Challenge!!! 🤓😁👊🏼🙏🏼
Great review. Could you consider a future vblog on comparing daily trainers from different companies (Nike Invisible, Clifton 7, Endorphin Speed 2, Northface Flight Vectiv, On Cloudflow, etc.)? Thanks much.
What socks are you wearing in this? I'm looking for better socks that aren't too thick and go above or around the ankle. Thanks, great videos! (just bought the novablast while waiting for the novablast 2 in Canada)
Keep on running by the Spenser Davis Group is a great running tune🏃♂️🏃♀️, glad to hear Asics did something about the heel counter, the 1st version was a disaster.
Novablast 2 arrived yesterday! Can’t wait to take them out for a spin🙌🙌
They good?
@@Jidder Butter 🧈
@@jeanramos1534 what socks do you use? my novablast 2 gave me blisters on the back of my heel. Did you have any issues?
@@ihatethegestapo7649 I use Feetures socks 🧦 No blisters yet, I have 100+ miles on them no issues.
At the beginning Novablast 1seems quite unstable but after ~ 50km I absolutely loved these shoes. Not sure they changed somehow after that distance or I adopted to them.
would you consider the tow box spacious or less spacious? I like these but have a pretty wide front of my foot from years of high jumping...
"No Easy Way Out" It takes hard work and discipline to reach your goals
Good morning dgr slept a little later this morning
AHAR™ has an abrasion resistance about two times higher and AHARPLUS™ about three times higher than conventional rubber. That is what the ASCIS site says. But my first version Novablast seems to be wearing out quite fast perhaps due to its thinner layer as you have suggested. But for poorer people like me, I might revert to the more traditional ASCIS shoes with more AHAR to make my money worth.
What would happen if the put more foam from the metatarsal till the toes bottom part thats where the weight impact the ground not he heels 🤨🤔
For your next shoe battle do the rebel v2 vs the novablast 2
QD: "Strangest Thing" by The War On Drugs...I think this has to be one of my all time favourtie songs. Closely followed by "Wheelhouse" by Kurt Vile.
Favourite bands to run to, Pixies, Arctic Monkeys and at the top, The Strokes.
Hi Seth. I know it's not a stability shoe. But how does it compare to the version 1 in terms of stability? Thanks. 🙂
What would you go for: Novablast 2 or More v3?
I got heel blisters on the original novablast. Bled all over my shoe!
I just ourchased the nova blasts but 4th run in and they are hurting the souls of my feet ankles and lower calfs. Hopefully that changes once I break them in.
I am debating whether I get a 2nd pair of Novablast if I get them on discount or wait for the version 2 when they become available
Love the feel of the original Novablast but when I hit mile 2, my toes start to tingle. I cannot figure out why! Love the videos!!
Same thing I feel just walking in Altra Viho. (It's a running shoe)
Hey Seth would you recommend this shoe for a heavier person? 220-250 pds
Also would you make a video on shoes for heavier ppl
Currently in the 220 range.. Bondi 7 has been great so far... I have added an insert...
@@Deadbuck73 I been using the NB FuelCell Prism and also Hoka Mach 4 and enjoying them
So you would grab this shoe over NB Rebel 2 for a daily run of 10 miles?
QD: “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” by U2. This song represents me well as I’m sure it does with many people. In life, especially athletics we are always striving for more and evolving. Though I love to run and race amongst other athletic activities, I still find myself hungry and searching for that one things that captivates me and will give me that feeling of this is it, this is the style racing or competing that makes me tick and gets my heart racing!
Steam by PETER GABRIEL the song gets me fired up to run .Run on
Hai @seth. I just see both of ur review about Glideride and this Nova2. Right now can u advise me which one the best between this shoes for a long distance and easy pace or daily run? Glad if u can answer me ASAP
Keep up the god work Seth 👍 sending a like love and sub from Ireland 🇮🇪
I had plantar fascitis and I use Novablast to walk.
I tried novablast 2 and I think they are amazing BUT... They inflamed my Achille's tendon. They are pretty hard in the back part. I'm very sad for this. Now I bought Nimbus 23 on sale.
Are the Nimbus softer on the heels?
@@umpus yes, they are like a slipper.
Hi, my long runs are 10k and a normal run is 5km to 7km. I'm a slow runner, a good pace would be around 6/7 minutes per km. I need a shoe with good support and plenty of cusion due to bad knees. I currently run in cumulus 21s and have no real issues, but they are near finished. Would this be a good shoe for me? Many thanks
I’m exactly like you right now but yeah these are a good pair - I just got them recently and they feel so nice to run in as the KM’s go on
QD: loud and heavy-Cody Jenkins
Saw Tom Petty live 4 years before he passed. Legend.
Seth, you should create a video with all the shoe terminology.
Awesome Review, has anyone used them on winter like weather and surfaces?
Please please sir what are your favorite shoes for walking and running
You are such good yapper.. I like your reviews 👍😀
Good morning all
Looks like Asics improved the laces, which was necessary. Beatles: "When I'm 64."
I threw the laces on the original Novablast into the garbage. That’s where they belong.
First time I've seen you in the Steigen Socks, Seth, what do you think? I love em!
Best socks ever. They make them not far from where l live
I just ordered my pair of Novablast 2's over a week ago. But do to backorders, I won't be seeing them until sometime around June 10th. That's good for me, because I should be pretty well healed from a recent calf injury. BTW, if your Novablast 2's weigh 8.9 oz. for your size of 7.5, will mine weigh somewhere around 8.85 oz. @ size 10.5.? I divided the size of your shoe by its weight and multiplied the answer by 10.5 (my size) to calculate. Is this a proper way of determining weight of the shoe, or are there other parameters to consider?
Is there a better shoe that is more cushioned for long training days? I have painful joints and looking for a comfy shoe to log high miles on
What's your comparison on the Novablast 2 and the Nike Miler 2?
QOD- 'Amazing Day' by Coldplay. Makes me realize every time to be thankful for what I have, the fact that my family has been safe and well till now in the pandemic and the sheer fact that I can go out for a run. The song just inspires me more to support the community as much as I can and spread that kindness and love forward
AWESTOME Shoe - it's all I buy now. (*Novablast and Brooks Hyperion = Trainer & Tempo/Race)
QD: Muse - Knights of Cydonia
Need to get these ASAP!
Can I use these as everyday work shoes, for standing all day?
If I have to buy a pair of shoes for mid-long runs from asics up to $150, what would be your suggestion?
I have had novabkast 2,but I got holes on top of my big toes after 200miles. Luckily they are still under warranty and I have a voucher of $150 to order new shoes.
You should test the New Balance 840 v4 it looks like a good daily trainer
What is the softest most comfortable walking shoe
Tom Petty ... saw him in person live because my wife said “if I don’t see Tom petty live before he dies, I’ll kill you!”
Saw him in Champaign IL about a year before he died and he was still killing the concert game! He partied hardy to say the least
Running shoe battle idea: Novablast 2 vs NB Rebel 2 vs Nike Invincible
Still worth to buy a Novablast 1 at discount?? Thoughts around this??
Best shoe I've run in, since the zoom fly came out. I mine have 82miles, and they feel so good for daily and long runs. It is bouncy
Correct me if I am wrong; didnt you used to put all EU sizes and measurements, next to the usa measurements? What is a size 9, is that 42? How many ounces is how many grams? Or is one ounce hundred gram. I will Google it. I can’t be the only European thinking this. And more on topic; novablast 1 was my last year favorite…. I would have bought the novablast 2 for sure, but this review justifies it. Song; It keeps you running. The Doobie Brothers
FYI according to Asics website the Novablast 1 has a stack height of 32/22, so they didn't add any to the forefoot but removed some from the heel.
