ASICS Unisex SUPERBLAST 2 Running Shoes

Big fan of NB4, and ASICS overall quality.These are my favorite shoe to date.The FF Turbo +, combined with the FF Blast+ makes the shoe super light and your run relaxed with the sole being plush, bouncy, yet firm, giving you great overall feel with incredible traction and support when walking, on long runs or at the gym.The black/silver/white color & styling is unique and different. By far my favorite ASICS to date for sure and a 10 out of 10!

After 170-miles I'm comfortable giving a solid review...Great protective long-run shoe for anyone who wants to combine lighter weight and cushioned protection. Works in many speed ranges and happily changes pace without a hitch. Some have said it's clunky and too bulky, I have not found that to bet a case. I rotate this with a pair On Cloudeclipse for long (and recovery) runs. Shoe quality:Typical Asics build quality, top notch. The -7g difference btwn my (R) and (L) isn't great but otherwise they are very well put together. Comfort:Cushioned, but firm and responsive which is fairly unique for a max stack of foam like these have.

The original SuperBlast is my all-time favorite running shoe. This is very, very close. The only reason it doesn't overtake the original in my mind is that the bottom, softer layer of foam (I don't feel like looking up Asics' marketing terms) isn't quite as cushioning as the original. Asics used a more environmentally friendly material, but it does make the ride a tad firmer, even after the shoe is broken in. I'm nit-picking, though - this is a fantastic shoe. Good energy return, comfortable, great outer sole (slightly grippier than the original) and shockingly light. It's equally at home doing weekend long runs and speedy interval training. For a runner like me (usually 10-20 miles/week, with a handful of 10-milers, half-marathons and 5ks per year), this really could be your only running shoe.

I bought these shoes because they are banned from professional races, and that made me wonder if the shoes you run in can make that big of a difference , IT DOES. These shoes feel like you’re being pushed forward every step, like you have a speed boost. They are super comfortable, sturdy, and simple, no crazy designs or anything to degrade its value as a high quality shoe. I’m surprised these shoes aren’t more than $200

It’s a great shoe and maybe it needs to be broken in more but honestly I like the cumulus more. I really only saw a 2-3 second per mile difference in speed and I was really expecting more given the hype, huge stack height and price tag. People are comparing it to supershoes. It’s not. 1% or a bit more speed difference. Again it’s nice shoe and very stable for long runs and lightweight for strides and intervals. It’s just not a good value and I feel silly with the large stack height. Still an asicis loverUpdate: I guess it’s taken a couple of runs for the shoe to break in. Or maybe it was just a bad run the first time. It’s faster now. 5-7 seconds per mile and about 2 to 2 1/2% faster so I guess it’s half a plated supershoe which is quite good. So Yhea I’m happy with it and updating to 5 stars

I love this shoe. Use it for just about all of my runs and even walking around. Good upper, fits true to size, decent outsole grip, very durable, very stable by design.Caveats: it is MUCH FIRMER than any other popular max cushion shoe on the market, so if you're looking for a soft easy run/recovery type of shoe you'll probably be disappointed. It is very stiff, less flexible than some plated shoes I have. There is no ground feel. It takes a long time to break in; my oldest pair has 70 miles in it and is just beginning to feel somewhat broken in. On the other hand, the firmness of the midsole means it should be a very durable shoe and indeed I've heard reports of Superblast 1 going for as much as 1000 km and still feeling firm and resilient.

Great shoe but I need a half size bigger.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The Asics Superblast 2 is a high quality shoe; quality material, comfortable fit [toe box width & toe length), and excellent appearance. 10.5 was a better fit than 10 for my profile. Russ K.
