Should I buy the Novablast 5 now or wait for the Novablast 6? Confused after new info 😅

I’d been eagerly waiting for Dec 1st because, based on previous release patterns, that’s when the Novablast 6 was expected to drop. But today I stumbled upon a review claiming that ASICS is moving the Novablast line to an 18-month release cycle, which would push the NB6 launch way further out than expected.

Now I’m torn. My current daily trainers are pretty worn out, and I do need a replacement soon. Should I just pick up the Novablast 5 now and not overthink it, or is it still worth waiting a bit longer in case the NB6 actually drops soon?

Would love to hear what others are doing or what you’d recommend!
