The ASICS NOVABLAST 3 is a running shoe that has been designed to handle just about anything. With its 31mm stack height and 8mm drop, the shoe offers a comfortable cushioning experience thanks to the use of FF Blast Plus midsole foam, a new foam technology from ASICS. The NOVABLAST 3 is also lighter, weighing in at just 8.9 ounces, making it an ideal choice for those looking for a light, comfortable shoe that can handle a range of activities.
The upper of the shoe features an engineered mesh design that is both comfortable and breathable. The notched tongue sits flatter against the foot and doesn't interfere with your stride. The heel cup offers plenty of padding for those who need extra cushioning in this area.
The outsole of the NOVABLAST 3 is made from a rubber powder and features a trampoline-inspired design that compresses when you land and springs back into its original position, giving you an extra pop-off sensation as you roll through your gate cycle.
Overall, the NOVABLAST 3 is an excellent daily trainer for those looking for a versatile and comfortable shoe that can handle everything from easy runs to longer, more demanding workouts. The only downside to the shoe is that its price has gone up by $10 compared to last year, bringing it to $140.
In conclusion, after 100 miles of use, the ASICS NOVABLAST 3 has proven to be the shoe of the year for me. With its improved cushioning, stability, and versatility, it sets the standard for what a daily trainer should be.
