congrats on the megablast. which part of japan did you go to

I went to Fukuoka , Nagasaki and Osaka . Got the mega from Osaka. I searched the biggest sport store at Fukuoka (hakata) . No mega and even a superblast 2 also out of stock there. However ASICS metaspeed sky / edge Tokyo are available there. But the metaspeed ray I saw it at Osaka only.

Anyone has bmai 远征者6.0? Any review or feedback?

Am looking for something like Evo sl..

i have bmai 远征者 5.0 but not 6.0. 5.0 ok for slow runs, nothing fantastic, imo.

for something similar to evo sl, maybe can try 大鲶dynafish 小鲶 (but plated) ...can find out more online via 小红书 etc. I can be wrong.

me too, esp my regret purchase of the ASICS Novablast 5. Especially after today I did a 10km negative split today on my Qiaodan Feiying pb3.0 and reminded myself how much i love running in such shoes.

Novablast is the one of the most if not most popular shoes. Why regret?

so far only 25km running in them and walked on them quite abit (4 full days), just initial impressions.
Not my cup of tea. Slow pace is really mehh, slightly better if pace is above 6:30min/km but nothing fantastic. Midsole response is too slow for me.
Feels clunky to me when i run in them. Not most comfortable to me for walking in long duration cos its too soft.

Thanks. Maybe it's overhyped, for whatever reasons. Luckily I didn't buy.

I tried both novablast and dynablast in the shop, in the end found dynablast better for me.

my bad, 小鲶 is not plated. i mixed it up with another version.

I won't by buying anything from the taobao or PDD 11.11 sales this year. Coz I bought my Nike VPFly 4 and Streakfly 2 today, Both are opened box shelves. VPFLY4 only left with two size 12s on the shelves. I took the one with the lesser wrinkle and then I took the only pair of Streakfly 2. i.e no other sizes. They are havin buy one with 40% off or two with 50% off. Damaged is $139.90 for the VPfly 4 and $109.90 for the Streakfly 2 +30 cent for the paperbag.

wah damn good deal sia

I bought 远征者6.0 before I see this post.. let's see if this shoes works..

Just saw Hui just review 小鲶2.0.. looks good but only have size 40 and below on tb..

my understanding of novablast 5 with plenty positive reviews from serious enthusiasts could be because their easy runs were at much faster paces than leisure runners. One probably needs to run faster to really feel the goodness of the shoe. Just my guess, i could be wrong.
anyway, hope the dynablast is serving you well.

me just pulled the trigger on 小鲶 size 40. i normally wear 40.5, not sure if it will fit well.

Hui mentioned that the optimum pace to run in this shoe is around 5min/km, which is my upper limit. Hopefully it will feel good at around 6min/km as well.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

if this 小鲶 is good, then all my favourite running shoes are Chinese brands!

so far having used novablast 4 and novablast 3 for easy runs, I do feel it is good and responsive. Have never tried 5 yet as the price still not good. Seeing your reviews make me not want to go there haha
