Thoughts on using the Novablast 5 over the marathon distance? Running my first marathon in the Spring so considering prioritising comfort as a heavier runner (6'3 tall) targeting a sub-4.
I might be the only person that thinks like this so please take it with a pinch of salt but I’d rather run in shoes that are either performance tunes (race day carbon plated shoes) or fully cushioned shoes and not shoes in between.
I am thrilled they changed the upper on v5. I love the 4s but my feet always got so hot in them- the thicker upper was just too hot for my feet in warmer temps. I’m looking forward to trying the v5 to compare. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 another great video in the arsenal, nice job A!
I just think the Superblast are worth the extra as they are better and will last longer so are better value! Totally agree about Fordy as well Aubrey, he’s one of the good guys like your good self 😊
One thing being a good runner but it’s another story when you also add to the lives of others and that’s what most people don’t see about that man and his team
From what I've read the 5 is a good daily trainer, but that's not what the novablast used to be about. I've got the 4 which I like although not really for speed workouts. For me the mach 6 has moved into the space the novablast used to occupy, it is a brilliant shoe at a good price.
Could you comment about the foams between FF Blast Max vs Light strike Pro of the Evo SL please. Such as the softness, rebounce, the ride ect... thank you
I started running with the Novablast 3, which dragged me round Paris marathon in 2023, the Glasgow half, plus all (well, not enough), the training surrounding. I got the Novablast 4 this year, and as good as it is, I can’t help but feel the 3s were better. For me, anyway. So much so, I’ve just got another pair of the 3s! Undecided about the 5s. Would love to push myself to getting a pair of the Superblast, but I hear there’s a potential Sonicblast in the pipeline, with a plate. Would love to hear more info on this potential new release, if you have any?

Barring that price isn't an object, in short, what's the difference between the Superblast 2 and the Novablast 5? Is the Novablast 5 the poor man's version of the Superblast 2 or is this iteration of the Novablast actually better this go around?
Man I usually love your content, absolutely love it. But it’s starting to feel like …I dunno…that you’re maybe coming off a little salesy. I understand these companies want to sell shoes, I get it, but from a shoe reviewer, I want to hear their review, features and benefits, what kind of foot or runner these are meant for, and final thoughts you know? When you start throwing out “five reasons you should buy this shoe” it feels like an asics ad. Again, constructive criticism. I love your videos, I love that you are an Everyman runner like all of us. Keep it up
Fair comment Cameron, it’s a fair comment but if it’s ok with you may I please correct one thing… I specifically say in the video that this is NOT me hyping up the video for you to but the shoe and also clearly say “5 reasons you should consider” this shoe. I thought that was worth pointing out so as to not mislead you or any viewer. Please know I am always open to feedback but disagree with this view. Watch more V5 video and you will see whether I’m salesy or not… better still, watch the Mizuno wave rebellion pro beta video… I genuinely disagree with your view but always will respect it
Thanks, i want to buy a pair of shoe 4 everything. i am confused to choose between n5, speed4 or hyperion max 2. Which one u recommend, i want a more existing shoe with bounce and energy return. Currently i have puma magnify 2 Asics nosa tri 14 they r ok but not existing.
Thanks Aubrey ! Idont know really but i never gonna race, just run for myself. A more exciting Shoe that one can pick up the pace and have energy return.

Thank you for the positive shout out you know I appreciate it!
Of course sir… you’re a gem in this community my man!
You’re easily the main influencer that I turn to for shoe advice. No lie. I have not personally been steered wrong by you
Just got mine! They came in yesterday and they really are a damn good shoe especially for the price!
The price is its biggest feature
I also follow the two channels you spoke about and appreciate the things they do as well as who they are
Amazing channels that are making actual impacts in my life

@ appreciate the perspective!
Yho bruh! @ 0:45 ...I luv that portion 🥳 Ur nw taking it to the next level
Thank you thank you… a little flavour goes a long way. Just trying to have fun with it
Adding this to my rotation as my daily trainer to pair with the Superblast 2 for my long runs and Metaspeed Sky Paris as my race shoe.
That is a 🔥🔥🔥 rotation for sure
2-time marathoner !!! Let’s Goooo!!!
Tell them to respect on my name brother 😂😂😂😂
You've got a great channel and good reviews for a regular runner like most of us who aren't in the elites club.
Thank you just wanted to something for people like me to relate to. Cheers for the feedback
Great video. Keep doing what you're doing.Love it!
Thank you so much… I’m enjoying it too which matters so much
I am thrilled they changed the upper on v5. I love the 4s but my feet always got so hot in them- the thicker upper was just too hot for my feet in warmer temps.
I’m looking forward to trying the v5 to compare. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 another great video in the arsenal, nice job A!
I am thrilled about always having you here! Thank you for you continued and unwavering support
Great Video my man, keep it up🤛🏽🌪️
Thank you very much, love the support 🫶

Just realised I'm not subscribed - sorted out now! Appreciate the positive vibes!
😂😂😂 thank you so much. I’m grateful for the support regardless
Thank you for the information, I am still on the fence whether to add it to the rotation based the 4 which I didn't care for
That is more than fair and I think there are also many other alternatives
From what I've read the 5 is a good daily trainer, but that's not what the novablast used to be about. I've got the 4 which I like although not really for speed workouts. For me the mach 6 has moved into the space the novablast used to occupy, it is a brilliant shoe at a good price.
I will sharing my top daily trainers of 2024 and I can’t agree with you more. Starting with the race day shoes this weekend
Grammar check on the title mate! Looking forward to this. Hoping you mention the outsole in wet conditions and Vs Superblast.
What a doughnut! 😂😂😂. Thank you for not only spotting it but also letting me know
@AubreyRunning Haha, legend!
Video is brill. Love your energy bro
I like your content bro !
Thank you so much, sincerely appreciate it! 🫶

Sounds like a Great video here, I’ll look into it but fear it might need an expert
Aubrey always making interesting positive videos. 🤜🤛 🙏🏃🏾🥇
No other way to do it, life is hard already to do it any other way. Thank you for acknowledging it, appreciate it 🫶

There is always change in the running shoe world and it’s tough to keep up with it all. 😂😂😂
Those Shyu socks!!
The guys were kind enough to gift me those socks at the NY marathon expo
Imposter syndrome is just part of the gig when you start a channel. I think you are fab and noone is quite like you
This is such a heartwarming and kind comment, thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart, thank you
I want to buy this shoe, but I am afraid that the sole is slippery. What do you think? Is this shoe slippery?
Sole is very cheap quality
Could definitely be improved but I don’t think it’s as bad as it’s being made to be, maybe it’s just me and slow paces 😂😂😂

Thank you for the encouragement and support. Sometimes people still affect even though I try to ignore them. Thank you so much

Honestly… that’s how I see it… but I have never actually ran in the SB2 to surely say. Funny enough, that’s what I called my actual review of the NB5
@@AubreyRunning Wow ok lol!
Nice video! Is it £140 or £135?
I can confirm it’s £135 but I think it was stated as £140 early on. It’s definitely £135
For walking only will you recommend Novablast 5 or Nimbus 26/Cumulus 26?
The novablast would be better I think.

Thanks for the advice about Boston that would be an amazing opportunity for sure. That would be a dream come true if I ever get a chance to run it
@AubreyRunning it is hilly like Chicago keep in mind...
This or superblast 2?
I haven’t ran in the Superblast 2 but I would say the Superblast 2 will be a better option if you can afford it
I love the 4s but hopefully I can try on the 5s in store to see how they feel on foot.
You definitely should try it just to feel it, depending where you live they may even do a 30 day trial
Did Asics called you, man😂
Not yet my guy, still had to buy this one 😂😂😂
