SIMPLY THE BEST | Asics Superblast 2 After 200 Miles REVIEW

Im going to try this shoe. Has anyone here ever ran on docks? also will make you feel like you're running on a cloud with springs.

Is it worth the upgrade from superblast 1 to 2?

if only they made it in size 14

What race day shoe would you pair this with 😄 ??

The version 1's were the best all-rounder of all time. Can't wait to try the 2's.

By far my favourite training shoe ever - nothing nothing compares to it! Make any other shoe feel so strange haha

I trained for and ran my first marathon in SB1. I’ve even set my 5k PB in them so if anyone suggest that they are slow, don’t believe them! I have a pair of SB2 ready to go but still using my SB 1 at present 😁

We’ve got 475 pairs in stock. We ship nationwide. Paris edition x 255 pairs

I bought Superblast 1 as my do it all shoe but, unfortunately, it wasn't for me. I'm pretty light so I don't compress the foam well so I find myself fighting to get over the forefoot. The Neo Vista works somewhat better with its softer foam and more rockered geometry.

Perfect matching socks with those superblast shoes in the beginning of this Vid. Could you lead me where i can get those socks. Thanks!

How's the grip on wet surface ?

do the superblast 2 have stability within them @BenIsRunning running in gel-kayano currently for the stability element, cheers!

I'm wondering how would it perform for overpronators

Would love to get a pair, but it seem it'll be impossible. Suggestions where to try and get them from?

Guess you get used to it but the stack height of shoes like this make me feel so awkward.

Endorphin Speed 2 is the Goat for me

Just got a pair today - they're insane. Absolutely awesome.

UPDATE: Now only 420 pairs remaining. Threads & Treads, Greenwich CT - We ship globally via UPS. Yes, WE HAVE PARIS!!!

Over 1,000 miles in my SB 1. They are durable

i can fully agree the superblast 2 is freaking awesome! a do it all running shoe. saving the legs

Has it been discontinued? Can't buy it anywhere

My toe goes through all my ASICS uppers, doesn’t happen with any other brand.

My favourite shoes too
My v1 has over 500km (300miles) and still going strong
Got a pair of v2
Very agile, comfortable and durable

Price for me is justified considering how versatile and durable they are
My complaint is how hard it is to score a pair...at least in Australia 🤷🏼‍♂️

Never trust someone who received shoes from the brand 😬

I love it!

is it true to size for you? all the best!

Got mine and got 3 pbs in a row 2x5k and 1x10k but maybe coincidence

Hi @benisrunning could I wear this shoe for my marathon? I am training with Novablast 4 and I love them

Im just so happy to have this excellent shoe knowing that it wont break 800km in 👍

Have you tried the Asics Novablast Ben ? Would be interesting to hear your take on the two compared, I have two pairs of Novablast 3 and love them, I paid about £67 each for them and notice the Superblast is quite a bit dearer, Thanks, keep up the good work 👍

when will they release this colourway... the current ones suck

Great video Ben, What a shoe the superblast is. I've only worn the superblast 1 before but I loved it, if the 2 has FF turbo + I think I'll have to try it out!

Ben's dislikes:
- Price point: at £200
- Makes easy runs feel too easy 😂
- Makes all his other shoes feel 💩

Ben's Likes:
- The midsole: one of the most bouncy + protective midsoles for easy miles.
- Versatility: "Extremely Versatile". You can use it for easy, long and progression runs
- Stability: Thanks to the wide toe box and heal area.
- Grip: You can run in the wet, on gravel, round corners, buffed trails etc
- Durability: Ben has run 350km+ and barely a single sign of wear and tear

I found my self asking the question "Will running in such a cushioned and bouncy shoe, like the superblast 2, over a long period of time cause your feet to become weak and increase the chance of injury?"

Here's what I found:
Running in cushioned and bouncy shoes like the Asics Superblast 2 could potentially weaken foot muscles over time. Heavily cushioned shoes can reduce proprioception (your foot's awareness of the ground), which may lead to underdeveloped muscles and reduced stability. This can increase the risk of injury, especially when transitioning to less cushioned shoes or running barefoot. To prevent injury it’s important to maintain a balanced approach by incorporating exercises that strengthen foot muscles and regularly running in different types of footwear to promote overall foot health.

Take of this what you like!
Have a great day.

Is the superblast good for intervals as well or is there a bit too much underfoot?

The inner statistician in me loved the sample size of 1 bit!🤩

What I find crazy is the fact that Asics kind of disappeared for a few years and didn't make any great shoes but now they have come from the ashes and have created the GOAT. Its like the saucony endorphin speed 2 but on another level!

Just picked us these for £165 from sportsshoes, can’t wait to try them out!

Availability is the worst thing about this shoe. I was on the mailing list on two sites. Couldn't get a pair in my size. Not paying resale. F@#£ Asics. Will buy from another brand that wants money and will spend more at those brands than the price of this shoe.

Hi, thank you for the review! I had a pair of Novablast 4 and I started having some issues after 400km. Probably due to my extremely forefoot running style, I found the upper and the midsole collapsing too easily, making my foot not still and causing some abrasions. Do you think it will happen the same with the superblast 2 or it is substantially different?

Why did they have to make them this narrow, its crazy. Very dissapointed by the fit, really tempted to put my scissors in the toebox, its so constricting.

My pair has now clocked 56 km, and I'm absolutely in love with them—fantastic all-round shoes!

I just bought the shoe as I’ve seen good reviews. Excited to use it for my training.

These are impossible to buy now

How much height do they add?

Have to say huge thanks for accessibility of your way of speaking, very understandable for non-native English speakers😂 but very useful review btw👍🏻

What are the half tights you’re wearing in this video?
