Hello everyone. Today, we have two shoes that you all know: the Superblast 2 and the NovaBlast 4 from Asics. These are two well-cushioned shoes. There are various stability shoes out there, but I don't have personal experience with those. However, these two shoes are commonly used for marathon training. The Superblast 2 was released recently, around early July, and I quickly purchased it and have been wearing it a lot while preparing a review. On the other hand, I bought the NovaBlast 4 last December, and I’ve been wearing it quite a bit as well. So, I want to take some time to share my experiences with both shoes and compare them. Before diving into the reviews, I’d like to mention that the differences between them are more significant than I expected, so I’ll focus on those differences.

I want to talk about it first, and then I want to review these shoes, so I'm filming this video first. There are quite a few similarities. The first thing that surprised me is that the weights are quite similar. When I weighed them, one was 237 grams and the other was 238 grams. Although there is a significant difference in the midsole height, the weight difference is almost negligible. Both are size 260, and they are the same size. You can clearly see that the Nova Blast 4 has a smaller midsole volume compared to the Super Blast 2, but they show surprisingly similar weights. I was really amazed. Another similarity is that the outsoles are almost identical in terms of structure. The designs are quite similar, and the shoelaces are almost the same. The shoelaces are at a level where there is hardly any difference. And then, regarding...

The design of the outsole is quite similar, but let's take a look at the differences. First of all, the upper has changed significantly with the Super Blast 2. The upper is now made of a knit material, and personally, I find it more satisfying in terms of feel. The second difference is actually the biggest one, which is the main topic of today's discussion: the FF Turbo Blast Foam. There's a lot of this foam incorporated, and I want to talk about what differences this brings. Before discussing the Super Blast 2, let’s talk about the Nova Blast 4. What I can say from experience is that it features FF Blast Plus foam, which is fundamentally different from other manufacturers. If we compare it to Nike, it feels somewhat like the Max Foam.

The top tier is the React Form, which is a step below. You can think of it like this: the FF Plus was a good form in the past, but with the introduction of the FF Turbo Form, it feels a bit like it's dropped a level. I don't know if it's because everything is becoming more standardized, but it doesn't give off a particularly outstanding impression. It feels more like a shoe that provides a certain level of stability and rebound. The height isn't very high, and it has a snug fit that holds you well. However, one downside is that you can definitely feel the heat in these shoes. To summarize, I use them for jogging. On the other hand, the Super Blast 2 has a part on the upper that is slightly divided.

The Blast Turbo foam is incorporated, and below it is the FF Blast Plus. The two are different in some way, and the Turbo is on top. That is the biggest difference in the midsole configuration. It's also extremely thick, providing a very good cushioning feel. The sensation of the cushioning is not completely soft; rather, it feels very bouncy. I feel this bounciness a lot in the Adios Pro 3 and in the AlphaFly as well. However, it offers a bouncy feel comparable to that of good carbon plates, which it has consistently shown so far. Surprisingly, it has less heat retention than expected, and despite the knit upper, which holds the foot well, it provides stability by minimizing any wobbling.

I am very, very satisfied with them so far. To summarize what I just mentioned, the NovaBlast 4 and the SuperBlast 2 are truly different types of shoes. In the case of the NovaBlast 4, let’s say I prefer jogging over shorter distances. However, this shoe really performs well even for longer distances, and you can run at a faster pace without much strain. It makes you want to run. I remember when I first put them on; it felt like I could really feel the elasticity of the shoe. But it doesn’t have carbon, which was quite surprising to me. I had that feeling for the first time when I wore the AlphaFly 2, and as I gradually tried the Adios Pro 3, I started to feel that same sensation.

It was a feeling. So, I really can't help but recommend the shoes. However, recommending them feels a bit ambiguous. We can't ignore the price, right? If there's an 80,000 won difference, honestly, you could buy another item, like a singlet, with that money. Considering that, if someone asks whether they should buy the Super Blast 2, well, of course, I would say to buy it, and I would wait to buy this one until it goes on sale. Even if I bought it at full price, that’s how I feel. The reason is that, as far as I know, the Super Blast 1 has hardly ever gone on sale. Now, the Nova Blast 4 is a bit similar, but still, Nova Blast 3...

I remember that there was a lot of inventory in other places as well. However, for Super Blast 2, I think there was also inventory later on. I believe I saw it in Japan, but surprisingly, the inventory in Korea is not as much as expected. So, if Super Blast 2 is going to be released next, I think it would be better to buy it right away rather than wasting time debating its value. While it might not be the best choice for speed workouts or speed training, I believe I can use it for all other types of training. For example, I could run a 20km long run at a marathon pace in these shoes. I think I would wear them for long-distance LSD runs as well, pushing over 30km. I just feel like I would want to wear them all the time because they are really quite pretty shoes.

I will try to create a review, but comparing Nova Blast 4 and Super Blast 2 is more difficult than I expected. Of course, it can be said that Nova Blast 4 is stable and has adequate cushioning, making it suitable for daily jogging. This is certainly true. When I wear these shoes, I feel more supported during my workouts. That feeling can significantly help with exercising, and wearing these shoes makes me want to go out and work out. Therefore, I recommend purchasing them if you come across them, even though they are a bit expensive. There are many other shoes with various max cushioning options, and those shoes are definitely good as well. The comparison will continue a bit more.

If I had it, I would use it, but I think it's much better than the Neobi Star. I had high expectations for the Neobi Star, and I had high hopes for this one too. The price is certainly high, but if you ask whether it's worth spending an extra 50,000 won, I think it is. Anyway, I’ve been wearing it for a long time now, and I'm enjoying it. I’ll wear it a little longer before doing a review. In any case, it cannot be compared to the Nova Blast 4. Instead of buying two Nova Blast 4s, I would choose to buy one Super Blast 2. That’s my conclusion, and I’ll wrap up today's video. Thank you for watching.
