Really is as good as everyone says but loses durability points because the upper gets a bit loose before the rest of the shoe wears out.

My favourite shoe of the marathon cycle

5/5

Overall

The Asics Novablast 2 has been a total game-changer for me. It's lightweight but still really cushioned, so every run feels smooth and springy. The bounce from the midsole keeps my legs feeling fresh, whether I’m out for a long, easy run or picking up the pace. The fit is snug and breathable, and they feel super stable even on uneven ground. They’ve quickly become my go-to for daily runs – just really comfortable and fun to run in.
