22 de setembre del 2024I only run on trails, California hilly dirt, dry and damp, fireroads and single-track with lots of climbing/ descending/ off chamber. My bodyweight is 155lbs, my mens 11 fits like the last was designed around my foot, always wear thin socks, running about 40-50 mpw. The main things about the shoe are weight, precise fit, grippy minimal outsole, long haull performance cushioning, rad tounge that prevents lace bite and doesn't migrate, and relative stability considering the stack. The forefoot: Out of the box new, for me, the forefoot is WAY TOO STIFF for trail running..... gently, I began manually flexing the forefoot to the midfoot zone (metatarsal to arch) and found that the foam was quite flexible after manually working it in. I can bend the shoes 180 degrees back on themselves now -- stiffness gone and the shoes are great climbers now. I like the micro treads much more than 4-5 mm knobs/treads found on most trail shoes. This shoe goes fast on flats or any angle. I think if you have a relatively dry trail run- ultra, 50k up to 250 miles, and you enjoy performance cushion, I would check these shoes out. This shoe and the Mag Max have basically made my other shoes work shoes or Goodwill shoes. Last but not least... I have 3 pairs of the Superblast 2, and I try to give the midsole 3-4 days between runs.

2 d’octubre del 2024I have MANY running shoes but skipped the first Superblast despite all the hype and eagerly awaited this new version with the updates to the upper, midsole, and outsole. I have to say that the Superblast 2 has exceeded my expectations in every which way as it is so good at so many different types of runs while providing a fun, exciting, consistent, and reliable ride. It's better at faster paces than slow paces, but I find it fine for easy slow runs as well. It excels on the long runs as the ride is consistent from the first mile to the 20th mile. I can see why some are happy to run full marathons with this shoe.
The upper is very comfortable, breathable, and is TTS. The lockdown is secure. The midsole, to me, is very balanced although it can feel a little firm at times. The forefoot bounce is where the magic is at with this shoe. The feel and ride is consistent and adapts easily and quickly to pace changes. The base is quite wide to provide excellent stability, but due to the bulk, it isn't the most nimble shoe. Still, the light weight makes it great for tempo runs and even speed workouts.
I now have three pairs of the Superblast 2 already and I'll probably end up with more as new colorways are released. This is now my number one shoe that I'll use for the great majority of my runs. I'm 59yo, have been running almost 3 years now, and average 70~80 miles per week. I'm light (5-7 or 167cm and 125lbs or 57kg) and my PBs are 20:30 for 5k, 43:00 for 10K and 1:40 for HM. I'm planning to run my first FM sometime next year and the Superblast 2 will be my main shoe for the training. The Superblast 2 exceeded my expectations even with the hype and great anticipation and that says something. I mainly run for the pure enjoyment of running than preparing for races and chasing PBs. The Superblast 2 has taken that enjoyment to a whole new level for me. It's not only the Shoe of the Year for me, but the G.O.A.T. that I'm excited to lace up, and that's the highest complement I can give to a shoe.
Great Daily Super Trainer Shoe!

16 d’octubre del 2024I've been running in the Asics Superblast 2 for a month now and so far it's been great. At first, I was skeptical about the shoe due to its firmer midsole compared to the other shoes in my rotation that has a softer and responsive midsole. It took me several runs in this shoe to fully appreciate this midsole.
The upper is nice and comfortable and found it to be breathable with no hotspots. The laces are adequate in length and have enough length for me to do a runner's knot. The midsole has a medium firmness yet responsive and protective for those long runs. Supposedly, this new FF Turbo Plus is softer than its previous version but for me it's feels a bit firm. The outsole rubber is great with very good grip. I did not have any issues when running through wet pavement. Importantly, the overall weight of the shoes is quite light for a super trainer with my size men's 9.5 coming in at 9.1 ounces.
Lastly, the Superblast 2 is very versatile in that it is suitable for slow to fast paces. However, I did find the shoe to be best at faster paces and that's where it shines.
If there should be any improvement for its next iteration, it should be a reduction in weight and even a softer midsole. Also, better availability for customers since I had to be lucky to snag a pair!
