Man this outdoor setup rly hits Aubrey. I just got done studying 12 hours straight and this calming, outdoorsy vibe was just what the doctor ordered 👌🏼
I’ve been saving my money to buy these shoes, btw. Thank you so much for your review, Aubrey. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon how these shoes feel like after you hit 100 miles.
Another superb video Aubrey, as you know, I've just got some of the Superblast and, after doing 35 miles in 4 days in them, can say that they are in another league, expensive but worth it for the comfort and versatility!
I’m genuinely learning to trust your opinions on shoes. I need to watch out, you might steal my job here 🔥😂😂. But yeah… the superblast is whole different league
Not sure how i missed this video the first time around, but glad i found it now! Great work once again Aubrey my friend. I got a pair of these back in April and I love them! they've slotted into my weekly rotation well and in fact I use them for anything from slow, easy miles up to interval sessions. The responsive yet cushioned ride is a joy :) Keep doing what you're doing mate.
Good to see you on here again Tim. Yeah I enjoyed this shoe. Love the way it suits comfort and performance needs. I also love the look but now all eyes are on Superblast 2
Another great video Aubrey. You told me last time to let you know on my first runthrough event and I did it yesterday at Hyde Park. Did 22 mins on the 5k. The whole experience was amazing.
Oh what??? And I missed it!!!! Ok cool… let me know about your next well in advance. I’m definitely doing the Goodwood one again in July so please join me in that one
Love the revieuws Aubrey ! Realy enjoy watching it. Got myself a pair last week the novablast 4 paris and indeed with the 4th run today there only getting comfyer. Keep it up ! Greetz from holland 😁🏃➡️🏃➡️
I really like the Novablast 3. I bought another pair now they are reduced. I will get some 4s at some point in the future. I love your videos, really well done.
I think FF Blast+ Eco is an EVA blend and EVA based foams often take time to break in. Also, many brands tweak the formulation of the foam for different shoes, even though they put the same name on it.
Agreed! Hence the confusion that some have. I am fully aware of this but this was my first time running in the Novablast and experience the difference first hand.
As always thanks for a nice and thorough review and finally ASICS, my go to brand 👍 congratulations on being noticed by ASiCS! Hopefully more shoes will be coming your way 😊 Keep going strong 😊
It’s such a massive privilege to have been considered by ASICS, let’s hope it continues into the future because I truly enjoy their shoes. Thank you feedback
Done 122kms on the version 3 and it’s been amazing. Getting a friend who is getting into running on these now- hope they find it good too! Good to know about the break in period! The outsole seems better than my 3 though. At 122km I am starting to see some wear on the fine details of it but nothing too serious! The 4 seems to have better grooves that show fade slower or more depth to fade/give grip for longer. Let me know if you feel the same! Aubrey
There are some people that prefer the 3s and unfortunately I have never ran in the 3s to give a comparative view. I will definitely get it to that 100K and see how it’s coping. All I can say is that this is a great shoe all round.
NAILED IT! I was just thinking the same thing about the outsole. Love the price, colorway, lacing... ;verything. BUT-- that middle on the sole is def lacking just a touch. This shoe is fantastic on all other points for me and I absolutely love it otherwise!
Asics definitely makes great shoes. But it seems that their marketing strategy makes them go Hoka's way. I mean, to create shoes that are really enjoyable to run in but with an outsoles durable like a kitchen sponge. In order for you to buy more and often because you are going to really like the shoes. Even though they can make a super durable bottom anytime with the same kind of performance.
Like this video and all ones seen. Only channel not overly hyping running gear. What does head to the clouds, feet on the ground mean? Looking forwards more videos.
Head to the cloud: keep dreaming and aspiring for more and better. Feet on ground: stay humble and remain grounded in the values that make you who you are.
If could only pick 1 shoe for easy days novablast 4 or 1080v13? Ive been struggling to decide i run pretty slow pace and only go 2-3 miles per day or on treadmill.
Expecting a shoe to deliver on its true character and ride - immediately out of the box? You literally said it’s a ‘bad thing’ that it took a little more than 10 miles (two 8+km runs) for that Asics shoe to ‘come into its own’. Aubrey, that’s by design and applies to most shoes and the makers will tell you that. We're not talking about opinion, these are facts. Here's what Adidas says about their shoes, word for word from their website, “There’s not a whole lot to breaking in your new shoes apart from getting your body gradually used to them. With fitted sweat-wicking socks, your shoes should feel good on your feet, and after you run ten to fifteen miles in increments over a couple of weeks, your shoes should be nicely broken in and ready for your typical training or racing schedule”. Love you Aubrey but 8K a 'long run' & 10 min/mile speed work? Bruhhhhhhh get ya weight up...
😂😂😂😂 Love the last section… but sadly sir, I’m coming back from a spinal injury and that is my best currently! I had built up to 3:50/k pace on my speed work but sadly the injury means taking it easy on both the distance and the pace. As for the breaking in, I have ran in shoes that have felt amazing out of the box and then got better. The point in my review is that this shoe doesn’t only break in and start feeling better, it actually feels like a different shoe. It’s very firm and very distinctly different as you break it in. That’s very different to the wording in that adidas wording.
I was not a fan of the nova 3 but honestly think the 4 is absolutely perfect, there’s something about this eco foam, nothing I’ve ever run in feels as good,I even prefer these over my superblast, soft bouncy and very stable,Please don’t ruin it ASICS on nova 5 !
Man this outdoor setup rly hits Aubrey. I just got done studying 12 hours straight and this calming, outdoorsy vibe was just what the doctor ordered 👌🏼
I might just stick to it going into spring and summer for sure
@@AubreyRunning would get no complaints from me man!
your video editing is another level.
So entertaining :)
Very grateful… thank you so much. That’s all I could ask for when it comes to feedback.
I’ve been saving my money to buy these shoes, btw. Thank you so much for your review, Aubrey. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon how these shoes feel like after you hit 100 miles.
That would be a while… 😂😂😂. I will do a 100K review though!
I just picked up the Paris color. Almost perfect daily trainer at that price point. It’s stable, light and still has enough bounce in the forefoot.
I enjoyed it too… it takes a while to break into its true self
This shoe felt great straight out the box for me! But so did the adidas sl. I’m learning that my running agrees very well with firm shoes.
Yeah if you like firmer feeling shoes I feel like they nailed it with this one.

@@AubreyRunningI am planning to do Regents Park March 30. Just waiting for a few friends who I am trying to convince to join.
Im loving these shoes. Used them as daily trainer in build up to a half marathon. 170 miles so far and going great 👍🏾😃
I genuinely love these and feel they are a perfect for racking up miles for developing a base, I love these and they performed in my speed work too
100k won’t be a problem…great content, keep it up!
This means everything! I’m genuinely hopeful to one day be in that kind of group. Sincerely appreciate the kind wishes
Love the revieuws Aubrey ! Realy enjoy watching it. Got myself a pair last week the novablast 4 paris and indeed with the 4th run today there only getting comfyer.
Keep it up ! Greetz from holland 😁🏃➡️🏃➡️
I’m definitely coming to Holland very soon. I have to sure!!!
@@AubreyRunning that's cool ! Let me know !
I really like the Novablast 3. I bought another pair now they are reduced. I will get some 4s at some point in the future. I love your videos, really well done.
I regret not trying the 3s because most people say they loved them. I wish I could compare
@@AubreyRunning They are fab. My first pair are close to be disposed off now. They have served me well.

Asics Novablast 4 vs puma dn2..which one a better and versatile shoes for everday and race day
Ooohhhh that’s a great comparison… let me have a look

All I can say is that this is a great shoe all round.
we've got the same car, soon we will have the same shoes! hahaha! the novablast4 will be my next daily trainer
😂😂😂 I actually admire you for recognising the car from what I showed. You must be a car man!!!
which car is this?
BMW f40
NAILED IT! I was just thinking the same thing about the outsole. Love the price, colorway, lacing... ;verything. BUT-- that middle on the sole is def lacking just a touch. This shoe is fantastic on all other points for me and I absolutely love it otherwise!
Great show all round save for a few things, it’s definitely one I won’t have trouble recommending
This is the best shoe review, visually
Holymoly
That’s precious feedback, thank you
Cool you got your first shoe from them, you’ll have more shoes than time to review them soon. Good stuff!
I’m so excited… it’s a big deal to get shoes from them but also need to stay objective despite the gratitude
Thanks for the input Aubrey….this cements my choice to get the Novablast 4 TR version as soon as I can afford it.
It’s a great show for sure! I have not tried the TR version though

I definitely love ASICS shoes! The nimbus was revolutionary (25). I would have loved to have the breaking in experience removed on this one.
I tried the v1 and loved it at this momento I’m between trying the v4 or the rebel v4.
I would love to hear which one you go for

@@AubreyRunning Thanks for that explanation. Profound but simple.
Hello Aubrey !
I’m agree with you! The first experience when you lace up, it’s not the best.
Btw, this video was made by your osmo pocket 3?
No sir… it was a Sony A7iv
Love your opinion on it! Would you say it is durable though?
I think it will definitely be durable for sure and I’ve reviews after 100 miles (sagasu running) but I wonder what the foam will feel like
If could only pick 1 shoe for easy days novablast 4 or 1080v13? Ive been struggling to decide i run pretty slow pace and only go 2-3 miles per day or on treadmill.
I’m going with the 1080 every time
Awesome thanks for reply love the channel, glad i checked out. Just recently been getting back to running after break with having newborn.
I love these. Got them in wide too? The beat.
Same here! Great shoe all round!
The tongue doesn’t have a loop on top. The tongue slips down and bunches up
Oh man… I didn’t experience that so I didn’t mention it. Not good at all!
Felt like watching budapest kindda movie vibes
Heheheheh thank you for the feedback, I might just stick to this style
is this better than cumulus?
I definitely prefer this shoe to the Cumulus
How would you compare it to the puma magnify nitro 2 ?
That’s genuinely tough!!! I have to run in them again and I promise to come back to you, catch me on Instagram
@@AubreyRunning thank you for the reply 🙏
I have them both and prefer the Novablast. The Magnify lacks pop IMHO.
i think i go for the cumulus 26... :)
Fair enough, I haven’t tried it yet

Wwwhhhhooooaaaa don’t let the Superblast fan boys hear you saying such blasphemy 😂😂😂
@@AubreyRunning I do like my superblast but they are very specific for up tempo longer efforts. The nova 4 can do it all.
