The ASICS Superblast 2 transforms your run from feeling ordinary to super.
The Superblast 2 was designed to give you the most responsive and energized experience among ASICS’ cushioning shoes. It features an ultralight construction combined with a new dual-layer midsole that integrates FF BLAST TURBO™ cushioning, ensuring a soft and bouncy ride.
In our ASICS Superblast 2 review, shoe reviewer Heather said, “It somehow manages to feel both soft and firm at the same time. I feel connected to the ground while also feeling like I have miniature trampolines on my feet. It’s bouncy and exciting to run in without feeling out of control. I look forward to my long runs with this shoe underfoot.”
Details:
- Upper: An asymmetrical mesh upper improves airflow to help your feet keep cool. The gusseted tongue keeps your midfoot secure and reduces sliding.
- Midsole: The midsole combines FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning, also found in the ASICS Metaspeed racing models, to deliver a lightweight and highly responsive running experience.
- Outsole: The ASICSGRIP™ outsole improves durability and responsiveness, giving you excellent traction and stability during your runs.

asics is always the best choice
As a dedicated Novablast fan, this was a spectacular upgrade. As a wider footed woman these are a phenomenal fit. Gonna hit these on a half this weekend, can't wait to see how I feel after that!

Workhorse
Great responsive shoe. Was able to go on long run without any foot pain and that is with no initial break in. Would go a half size up though for the toe box

Fantastic high quality trainer
Bought this pair for my cousin as a personal recommendation as it's a pair that I also run in. He is a heavier runner than myself and I got him this shoe as a way to break from his traditional and significantly more boring Brooks stability shoe. The midsole in this shoe is significantly more compliant and bouncy in terms of a ride. It's also designed with significant stability despite being a neutral shoe, has great grip, and is notably very light for it's size (a factor of the top tier midsole compound). All in all, when you stacked up the benefits, it was an overall significant improvement over his basic daily trainer. He decided to make it's first run his half marathon race and had no problems. If you can afford a Superblast series, it's definitely worth the premium over any of the Novablast series for a long distance runner.
