ASICS Superblast 2 Reviews

The greatest shoe ever: unreal cushioning but a touch firm, stable and roomy.

A 105 kg runner with past plantar fasciitis did their first-ever 10 km in the Superblast 2 with no leg pain.

First treadmill mile in the Superblast 2 versus their Nimbus 25: cushioning hits the sweet spot and the upper breathes better, though they prefer the Nimbus's softer upper and sized up half for width.

After 400+ km it is their best daily/long-run trainer: balanced cushion and bounce, handles easy to tempo runs, fits well and shows little wear at 66 kg.

Says the Superblast 2 is the most comfortable shoe they own, but not one for race effort; it makes them slow down.

A 2:57 marathoner's 55 miles of easy and steady runs in the Superblast 2: zero ground feel for recovery, excellent wet grip, and a wide, sure-footed platform on rough roads.

The Superblast 2 was firm for the first few runs but their legs still felt fresher than in other shoes, and it only improved once broken in. Uses it as a super shoe for easy days, keeping the Adios Pro 3 and Boston 12 for faster work.

After long runs in the Superblast 2 their feet still feel great, so they recover and run again sooner.

A 59-year-old flat-footed runner's first 5 slow Zone 2 miles in the Superblast 2: light, protective, cushioned and supportive without being mushy.

Pre-ordered the Superblast 2 after loving v1: snugger fit, comfortable upper, and wonderfully light for its cushioning, springy, maybe a touch firmer than their worn v1.
