ASICS Novablast 4 TR

ASICS returns to the charge, creating hybrid running shoes with one of the most popular models of its lineup: the ASICS Novablast 4 TR, the shoes that any runner needs to keep on running, whatever the terrain.

These ASICS Novablast 4 TR are trail running shoes that, with their "TR" surname, take the ordinary ASICS Novablast 4 to another level. Aimed at providing a more secure footing even on unpaved terrain, this version offers reliable and stable cushioning to enhance your run no matter the surface.

It's not the first shoe from the Japanese brand to adopt the "TR" style, as other iconic shoes models like the Nimbus and Cumulus also come in this version. Below we have all the details.

Key features: ASICS Novablast 4 TR

The Novablast 4 TR are ASICS trail running shoes designed to provide an effective alternative on gravel and trails to all trail runners, both for short workouts and somewhat longer runs. We are talking about a model offering comfort and safety in the tread, which will respond perfectly both on the road and on uneven terrain.

This is a trail running model for training and competitions that stands out because it has a somewhat more prominent maximalism than its usual version, the ASICS Novablast 4. This feature makes it even more cushioned and efficient for uneven terrain.

From the upper, we highlight the tongue, in a neoprene style, which gives us great comfort and incorporates reinforcements to offer better protection against the elements.

The midsole of the shoe has Flytefoam Blast PLUS ECO technology, like its sister shoe, which ensures decent cushioning and, above all, reactivity.

The outsole is one of the big differences with respect to the ASICS Novablast 4, since, despite a very similar design, there are small studs on the outer areas of the sole to provide the necessary grip to run fast on trails and forest tracks.

In terms of technical specifications, the shoe has a drop of 8mm and a weight of 250 grams (slightly higher than the ASICS Novablast 4) that will let you pick up decent speed on trails near the city.

Ideal runner: ASICS Novablast 4 TR

The ASICS Novablast 4 TR are aimed at medium-weight runners. Both the technologies and the materials with which they are designed will provide great cushioning and protection, without neglecting stability, favoring even runners over 85 kilos.

Runners who like to combine road training with trails and forest tracks at medium and fast paces should have the ASICS Novablast 4 as one of their candidates.

Recommended distances: ASICS Novablast 4 TR

This is a model for long distances and medium (even fast) paces thanks to good cushioning and reactivity. Its comfort is another aspect that will allow us to run without problems over long distances in the mountains- provided the terrain is not overly technical or complicated.

In short, the ASICS Novablast 4 TR are an ideal shoe to delight fast runners and that incorporate all the benefits and technologies of the sister shoe, to run on mountain trails with comfort and good reactivity.
