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.

Lives up to the hype
Love these shoes. Very stable and comfortable while maintaining speed. I’ve used them for a long run up to 18 miles and for tempo runs or at the track. Very versatile and enjoyable.

Good show, lightweight
Very light and good for running. The upper part of the shoe has less fabric than most shoes which is what makes it lighter. Lots of cushioning which is great if you have high arches. Rating it a 4 star only because it slips ever so slightly on the back, but if you change the lace loop it works better.

Got these for my wife, she loves them!
She was looking for shoes that have some bounce but don't feel soft. These hit the mark!
