ASICS Novablast 3

The Asics Novablast -- arriving in September -- has consistently shown up on the “best running shoe” lists since its release several years ago. Perhaps the only criticism for some was that it’s amazing bouncy responsiveness could lead to a feeling of instability. The latest update has solved that problem with a new, more secure upper that incorporates a gusseted tongue and a wing fit system for a great lockdown. The new Novablast actually has more foam under foot, but feels more secure. It also weighs less. If you liked the previous versions of the Asics Novablast, you will love the latest version. If you are looking for a lightweight, responsive shoe that can go any distance at any speed, you need to check out the Novablast 3.
