ASICS Superblast 3 Reviews

Loved their first progression long run in them; lighter than the Vomero Plus.

500 miles at 60–80 mpw: ended up its best use was slower long runs and recovery; midsole held up well.

An 85 kg runner worried about the softness but ran a 30 km long run straight out of the box and found it fantastic and not too soft; plans Comrades in them.

The shoe they most want to run in: soft and comfortable for 50 km runs where the Vomero Plus disappointed; 277 km in the first month and a favourite for long second runs.

After 100 km: softer, bouncier and more comfortable than the SB2, a good easy and long-run daily trainer, but less efficient than the firmer SB2.

Their first run in it was a half marathon PR; it felt really good, responsive, and they could have gone further.

An easy 11-mile first run felt great, less fun than but much more stable than the Megablast.

Tried to like the Superblast 2 but found it too firm, okay only at uptempo pace; the Superblast 3 is perfect for their easy and long runs.

Paulo Quindere Saraiva’s first impressions are positive: it came alive after about 25 miles, with excellent wet grip and a smooth ride at marathon pace. The heel feels slightly blocky, and durability is still unknown.

He uses it as his go-to for 30 km long runs, praising trampoline-like bounce and enough protection for high mileage. He would not race in it; rebound fades after about 400 km.
