Good luck! Make sure to post your thoughts. Unfortunately I need way more support than these offer so I can't use them for running. However, the comfort is unbelievable.

Agreed 100%. They didn't work for me due to instability, but the person I gave mine to loves them. FlyteFoam Blast definitely feels bouncier than React and is just more fun to run in.

enjoyed my first run in the infinity reacts, a few tweaks on the upper for a better fit and this shoes would be top tier
as most had, there is a bit of a heel slip, i mean tying the laces tight enough and your foot wont go anywhere but the sensation is there, it goes away eventually but i might be able to go half size down or maybe ill wear thicker elite bball socks on the next run
also wish the midfoot could be tightened a bit more too since the forefoots on a wider side and a little more security there would help with the fit
i also felt the height on the arch, its somewhat raised but ince i started running it almost game a rocker sensation which helps making it a smoother transition

I noticed the heel slip at first, but it either went away or I just never notice it anymore. I don't really feel the arch or the heel clip, though a lot of people find these somewhat intrusive. A couple weird things I noticed is that on my first pair (the OG white colorway), the glued-in sockliner on both shoes gradually tore off the strobel. Also, sometimes I get the sensation that the edge of the heel is rubbing on my achilles, but I'm not sure how since my sock is padded at that spot and the edge doesn't seem to be pressing on my achilles.

you guys are on point with the novablast and me being a mid/forefoot striker, i love these things! good cushy but yet springy midsole that felt good at various paces. only issue is the stability with those turns but a very enjoyable and comfortable trainer.
hate to say it but i think i might have these replacing my reacts and got me really hyped now to see what asics is able to do with FF blast
Hi,
I have the Novablast too, they are touch unstable at the heel but seem fine on hard surfaces for me. Also after 20/30 km they seem to firm up slightly and become a little more stable. Also changing the insole may help as that's soft. Fantastic everyday trainer at all paces. Steve

NovaBlast is the most comfortable shoe ever for me
I agree I tried the Nike infinity react, saucony triumph 17 and new balance 1080 v10 and the Novablast was more responsive and comfortable at the same time - that bounce and propelling you forward is great . Too bad it doesn't work for everyone. Maybe in the next version they make it a little more stable. Its fine on roads and hard paths for me.
Also, I think the geometry of the foam in the heel leads to instability. The angular cuts in the heel look distinctive and cool, but the foam can fold over a bit right at the apex of the cuts. Seems like if if the cuts were gone or less pronounced on the medial side, it would help.

Hopefully. Give me the Novablast with Kayano stability and it would likely be the best shoe I've ever had.
The FODrunner did a great review of the Novablast on youtube and Roadtrailrun was a good multirunner review

It is definitely a lot firmer than the Infinitys. However, IMO, from a stability standpoint, the Renew Runs actually feel more supportive then the Infinitys.

renew isnt react, its the old lunarlon renamed
they arent even really hiding it:
The Nike Renew Run features Nike Lunarlon cushioning that uses a soft, responsive foam to absorb shock and reduce impact.

I’m looking to get a pair of infinity run, but was wondering about sizing. I got a pair of odyssey react 2 and epic react 2, both in 9.5. The odyssey is pretty snug, while the ER2 is pretty roomy. I’ve seen post that say go with ur normal running shoe size (9.5 for me) on here, so I’m wondering if that’s the case? I’m a 9 TTS. TIA!!!

I'd say TTS on the Infinitys.

TTS for me as well. There is an issue with heel lockdown a bit but I find when I run I don't notice it at all. Some people half size down because of heel lockdown but i find that the length and width is actually OK and has nothing to do with the heel lockdown
