Nice, thorough review....thank you for that.

[@RyansRunningReviewsYT]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RamrodSmothers]

I have the Novablast 4 and the Nimbus 25 and they are both at the top of my rotation. I wear a 15 wide, which isn’t available from all brands and I’m limited in choice for the brands that do have my size. NB4 is my go-to daily trainer and Nimbus 25 is my favorite recovery/long easy shoe. When I’m wanting something more firm I go for Saucony Ride/Triumph and also like the Ghost Max

[@SEMBANGBASIKALISFREE]

Good review. Just that I thought the grip with Nimbus 26 is better and apparent compared to Novablast 4.

[@TheSheenchan]

I have both the Novablast 3 and 4 and I feel that the Novablast 3 is bouncier than the 4 but not a deal breaker for me both shoes feels great.

[@kokyinhau]

I have nb 3 and have been running for 8 months, bought nb 4 on 25/02, have run 8 times but found that nb4 is less bouncy and lacks bounce, today I just gave it to my sister to use, run and use nb3 again. Thanks

[@jasoncastillo8317]

Nimbus 26 is good for midsize to big size people looking to get into running very good cushioning that absorbs the impact they are bit heavier but your knees will thank you I definitely recommend the novas as a shoe to transition to once your more confident in your running abilities

[@felipejadrijevic9683]

Very decent review, thanks!

[@chinitopogi7511]

Which shoes would save your knees in a long run from 21km to 32km?

[@PsGetSid_]

Asics Novablast 4 is the best shoe ever i have run on. i have over 30 years of experience from running. Asics is in a completely different league when it comes to quality and durability. Hoka is the brand I have a lot of problems with, worn out after 2-3 months and poor quality. Many customers complain about bad qaulity. Have run over 1000km on novablast, now they are starting to get a little worn.

[@pj8761]

Midsole durometer difference I guess ? As long as it's not too soft or mushy, I guess I would go with the novablast at $20 less. Have to just try them on.

[@RyansRunningReviewsYT]

Sure feels like it. That and the geometry makes it feel softer

[@redoktober526]

This novablast colorway is 🔥.

[@stigsun9581]

Am I right that the asics pruduct line is like novablast(5 stability/5 bounce), nimbus(6/4) and kayano(7/3)?

[@Siregar.mediaaa]

How u can find the blue color novablast 4? I didnt get it in Indomesia😢

[@djseitz425]

4 months worth of running is quite a lot.

[@kuriosites]

I have the Novablast 3 and the Nimbus 25. I'd consider the Novablast 4 as a max cushioned daily trainer but I wouldn't buy the Nimbus again; too heavy and bulky.

[@RyansRunningReviewsYT]

The nimbus was a fan favorite based on some of the videos that I’ve put out! I do think the Novablast is the more fun trainer though

[@kuriosites]

@@RyansRunningReviewsYT Not a bad shoe; just not for me.

[@user-gv8wf8co6n]

Just bought nimbus 25 on sale. Feels like running in platform shoes 😂 and laces are way too short! Have to make knots, not bows 😢

[@julio85019]

How do you like it now

[@coccosoids]

You said the Nimbus but you pointed at the Novablast... :|

[@gatordonttakenoshiat]

RUclips reviewers really chat bollocks. For one reviewer the novablast is super firm and stiff and then the next reviewer says it’s super soft and bouncy. Then the nimbus is like walking on marshmallows and in the next it’s firm? Just go into a store and try the shoes do not listen to them

[@Fozzee.1970]

I find the Nimbus super unstable

[@aniketpai5375]

The issue I have with Nimbus it tends to fall on the outside of the foot even with insoles for pronation. Is that the instability described?

[@macfin4862]

I think so much depends on runners weight. The way foam reacts for skinnier RUclips runners vs 85kg+ is massive.
At 6 foot 2 and 90kg I find my experience with shoes is massively different to shoetubers

[@vincents.6639]

I wonder why most of Asics shoes colors tend to be so dull and boring

[@Mondoman8282]

ASICS released the NB4 in neon green lmfao

[@RyansRunningReviewsYT]

Brightest shoe around!

[@ihussain1011]

To each to their own. I prefer these colourways so much so I am jealous that this colorway of Novablast 4 is not available on ASICS website.

[@Charles-kc2vt]

Blasphemy, ASICS are beautiful!

[@Anatoly_Tsvetkov]

Glad that they are "dull" and "boring" cause I hate colourful clown shoes 😅

[@SurajKumar-uw6yd]

Asics is an overated shoe company I have used nimbus 25 and it gets torn within four months and my hard earned 16k rupees got wasted.

[@yashpa]

probably you got 1A copy 🥲

[@postfach7889]

My nimbus 25 are about to complete 1000km and are still impeccable. NOTE: I started running with them when I was 112kg
