A Versatile Trainer Bringing Comfort and Performance
The running shoe that refuses to slow down, the Asics Novablast 4 is back again to show why it’s one of the most popular trainers out there. This time around we see some updates but the Novablast 4 still maintains a lot of the fan-favorite features from the previous iteration.
Looking underfoot, the midsole cushioning is now made with FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam, giving you the same soft yet bouncy experience but now made with more renewable resources. Whether you’re looking to go slow or pick up the pace, the Asics Novablast 4 provides a cushioned and energetic experience you can’t help but love.
To help increase the longevity of the shoe, Asics uses AHAR™ outsole rubber that beefs up its traction and durability. Pushing things further, The Novablast 4 outsole is designed with inspiration drawn from a trampoline, generating maximum bounce as you propel forward.
To cap it off, you’ll notice the engineered woven upper when lacing up and how comfortable it wraps the foot. This well-ventilated material stretches with your foot as you move and is built to go the distance. The gusseted tongue is padded and features a unique wing construction, improving fit and reducing the chance of sliding.
The Novablast 4 is a great choice for a variety of runs, bringing high-performance and comfort to each stride.

Great everyday shoe
Second pair of novablast 4s and love them just as much as the first time. A great everyday trainer that you can still wear for some interval/tempo work as well

good utility shoe
so far so good. using as a well-cushioned shoe for easy and recovery runs as a break from the endorphin speed. but, have run some tempos too. i like it on the easy runs. but shoes has been pretty good on tempos too though they won’t displace the endorphin speeds. can’t speak to durability yet but feel like my impression is improving after a little break in, which may bode well.

Great for long & slow runs
It is very comfortable and has great cushioning. My new shoe is for daily easy-paced runs and long runs. However, giving four stars due to its limitation as a tempo or speed shoe.

Great daily trainer
This is my second pair of Novablast 4s. I previously had the 2 and 3 and all have lasted at least 500 miles. Very comfortable and durable. Even noble enough for some speed work and a marathon. Definitely recommend

My new long run go to
Incredible shoe for long runs and keeping your feet comfortable and not feeling destroyed. Very plush upper and a lot of support and padding around the ankle. One of the best shoes I’ve owned
