Expert Review Sources
- RunRepeat : 86.6 / 100 — « No, it’s not déjà vu, the Dynablast 5 is basically a rebranded Novablast 3 with a few small tweaks. We think that move is smart because it cuts costs and keeps the price down. In our lab tests and on our runs, it preserves the same max-stack, cushion-rich feel while adding some durability upgrades, though it gains a little weight too. But for anyone who loved the NB3, this budget-friendly revival feels is a welcome (and unexpected) surprise. »
- The Running Collective : 83.2 / 100 — « Pairing ASICS's ASICS proprietary foam platform with a 7.6 mm drop, the Dynablast 5 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its ASICS proprietary foam midsole. A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.6 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
- Runnea : 83.7 / 100 — « Built by ASICS around the ASICS proprietary foam midsole, the Dynablast 5 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its ASICS proprietary foam midsole. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
