As wider foot runner, glad to hear about the space inside

Best fitting shoe I've got. Normal D width foot. 28.6 cm length foot..size 11.5 US. Loved the lockdown and can feel the trampoline effect..6' 206 pound fit runner. I immediately bought another pair after my first 7 mile run.

You say that the “everything in the outsole is same as last year” but just looking at the photos you can see that the layout of the rubber is new.

Love this format with you guys walking down the street/alley!

i love how out of it these two always are. i can't tell if this is the first take or the 30th

The Novablast version 3 is still my favorite

This whole vid is two guys trying their damnedest to not rubbish the shoe.

Shoe has narrow fit
Reviewers: It has good lockdown, wraps around the foot brilliantly

Shoe has wide fit
Reviewers: It's sloppy, bad lockdown

Why can't reviewers just say "it has a wide fit so it doesn't work with my foot shape"?

So, it resembles the Novablast 3 rather than the 4, right? Sounds good to me!

Good morning. Thanks, guys. Like from Spain. A nice weekend for everyone.

Not sure why people want reviewers to compare the Novablast with the Superblast. Do people think ASICS is going to make the Novablast just as good as the Superblast? 😂

[johnmichael]

What's up with the bling and the tucked in shirt? haha 😅
We love U guys. ❤

[claudiobarreira]

I think i need a Evo SL vs Novablast 5 head to head!

[arvn_kennx]

I think this will work for us wide midfoot gang! 🔥❤

[blackwatchlion]

Looking forward to checking this one out. Hoping the grip is better for this generation of the Novablast.

But I'm anxious for the next Invincible (Vomero Plus). When can we expect to see something from the channel on that gem?

Now is the time to get the version 3 xD

Take my money 💰 looks like a good update to a great daily trainer

Thomas out here dressed like a mob boss.
