“son increíbles. El único problema es que en mojado no agarran nada, pero son ultra cómodas, divertidas y no pesan mucho. 100% recomendadas.”

41% of 145 verified owners recommend the ASICS Novablast 5, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.
Affiliate blogs here say 100% recommend, while the owner-based score is 41%. They earn a commission on every sale — so we show them for transparency but never let them move the score.
The headline score reflects owners (Reddit, enthusiast forums), independent lab tests, blogs with no affiliate links, and YouTube owner-comments when they line up with owners. YouTube and Affiliate blogs are shown for perspective but kept out here — hover the i for why.

“Look at that Nova Blast, Bouncy yet Stable. And the comfort level.”
“novablast has way too much cushion for me. too soft for my taste.”
“All looks the wrong size to me. Too small.”
“Asics Novablast 5 = daily runs and easy runs”
“I just bought novablast 5. So far, its good for me. Bounce and good energy return. Satisfied”
“me parecen una maravilla tras dos tiradas largas de 17-20kilometros, estoy encantando con ellas”
“de momento me noto más cómodo con mediasuelas un poquillo más firme como la novablast 4”
“Confirmado la talla, vienen muy chicos y tuve que devolverlas.”
“A mi lo que no me gusta de asics es el drop de 8mm, para mi gusto maximo 6 y si puede ser 4 mejor.”
“Son perfectas. Las tengo con 40 km y una maravilla. Solo una pega. Hacen mucho ruido al pisar”
“más reactiva, más fácil, más divertida, más cómoda”
“Asics is nice for slow and easy tuns, but heavy and bulky for faster paces.”
“Lightstrike pro evet yumuşak ama asics midsole çok daha dayanıklı.”
“Menudas vueltas para decir que tiene un mal agarre en mojado”
“Novablast come 2nt very nice shoe”
“Get whatever, skip Novablast.”
“3 semanas con ellas y contento. Como pega diría que no tienen una gran adherencia con suelo mojado y son bastante ruidosas”
“he ganado a las mismas pulsaciones unos 15 segundos el km con el mismo esfuerzo y que la zapatilla se siente como si tuvieras minimuelles”
“sin ninguna duda me quedo con la 3, es la mas divertida con diferencia”
“en mojado es de lo peor”
“I put 80km into my NB5's and realised they did not give me anywhere near enough stability, so I'm selling them on. Shame as I got them in Teal and they look incredible”
“Ganó casi en todo, porque perdió el magnífico diseño de novablast 4”
“Fico mais confortável correndo com o novablast 5. Drops de 8m me dão maior controle e menos dor nos pés.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“Asics Novablast 5 - soft daily trainer, still getting used to the softness”
“I think they're true to size. Toe box volume on the 5 is better, I think, than the 4. Maybe not as much height as on the 4, but definitely a little wider”
“the SB2 are still a price increase over NB5 for no significant benefit unless one really tries to improve their performance”
“I have run in multiple pairs of NB and SB and they are both true to size. They are so different but I keep buying them!”
“Id say these are slightly wider than the NB4.”
