Expert Review Sources

  • Believe in the Run : 81.9 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the ASICS Versablast 4 delivers an engaging, lively ride powered by its ASICS proprietary foam bounce (288 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 9.4 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
  • RoadTrailRun : 81.3 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 9.4 mm drop and weighing 288 g, the ASICS Versablast 4 earns high marks from our multi-tester panel for its smooth, predictable transition (a 9.4 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 80.6 / 100 — « We think the Versablast 4 is much more than a budget Novablast. In our tests, it delivered a smooth-and-steady ride with just enough bounce to make daily runs enjoyable. For our feet, the underfoot feel was really good, though we found the snug fit will not work for everyone. It performs especially well for heel strikers and newer runners, and we believe it’s one of the top budget-friendly options out there right now. »
