100 Mile Review: Asics Superblast
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июл 2024
- The Asics Superblast is a long distance training shoe that blends elements of comfort and speed. It has a tall stack of Asics' FF Blast racing foam and is much lighter than other shoes with a similar amount of foam. In this video, I share my thoughts on the shoe after 100 miles.

I think a large part of the effect that makes people say the Superblasts are the greatest shoe ever and fit for any and all runs is that they are a super shoe without a plate. There is little to no concrete info on how training daily in plated shoes effects people short or long term but online shoe geeks are constantly saying how its bad to train or train daily and you even had a video on why you quit plated shoes. The Superblasts let's people train in a super shoe but with none of the concern or guilt or worries about what effect the plate has but most of the benefits.
Great point - the "guilt free" thing is spot on. Lately I've been feeling if I want the effect of a shoe that makes it easier for me to run, I might as well run in a plated shoe. That's why I never bought the superblast when I quit plated shoes - it seemed like a weird loophole. My thinking is that if it rides like a plated shoe it will have the same effect on the body as a plated shoe. Also the rotation theory (rotating shoes reduces injury risks) suggests that we'd be better off doing our workouts and long runs in a plated racer and the rest of our runs in a non plated daily trainer than doing all of our weekly mileage in the superblast
Ahh the Superblast :
I have almost 600km's on mine
I started out confused by the shoe as well- was NOT what I was expecting...
Once I hit about 30-50 K - it really broke in and got bouncy.
I use it for long runs in marathin training when im running bit below marathon pace.
The stack really is leg saving and helps with recovery.
It took me a while to learn how to engage the rocker in the right way, but once i did - it really rolled through my stride and my HR was lower then expected for a given pace.
Im running ( or at least attempting to run) 50 marathons by age 50 - which at my age is about a marathon a month ( only race 1-2 x year) and the Superblast have been key in helping me achieve my first 6.
Thanks for the greay content and honest reviews!
wow nice review
The ASICS Superblast is my favorite shoe for …. EVERY RUN ….
No seriously, the Superblast is the shoe I was looking for yet unable to find the past 3 years. Apart from the Nike Vaporfly Next % (1 & 2) I could not take ANY shoe over 15km without varying levels of discomfort - no matter my pace.
I tried (in no particular order) the
1. New Balance More V4
2. Nike Invincible 2
3. Asics Novablast 2
4. Asics Nimbus 25
5. Saucony Speed 2
6. Nike Zoomfly 5
7. Hoka Mach 5
8. Adidas Supernova Rise
The Superblast succeeded with flying colors where all these other shoes failed (longer runs).
Not only am I confident in lacing up the Superblast for my longer runs, but the Superblast is without a doubt the most versatile running shoe I’ve owned.
Recently I got the Adidas Supernova Rise (which I really like), but again, they don’t give me the support I need for 15km + runs.
To answer your original question: the Asics Superblast is my favorite shoe for those longer runs (15km ++) at any pace.
Ranking my top 3 shoes I’ve owned:
1. Nike Vaporfly Next %
2. Asics Superblast
3. Nike Pegasus 36
(I am a heavier runner (90+kg) with a front-foot strike, long stride and low cadence - with very “sensitive” foot mechanics)
hehe I own a few of these, long strides as well (1.50m) but I strike differently depending on the shoe (to optimize it) and I'm about 60kg. I guess it depends on your goals and tastes. Personally, I rarely run over 15km but yes the Superblast would be in my top 3 if I was planning a long run (over 15km). Back in the days, I really liked the ZoomFly 3 and I think it's still a great shoe after all these years, comparable to Superblast actually in terms of protection\stack, etc. Then I got Vaporfly and I was blown away by the speed\bounce. Then I got the Alphafly and Nike Tempo Next and I felt in love with the energy return of the air pods. But since then, I tried A LOT of shoes, including Mach 5, More V4, Speed 2, Novablast, Pegasus 36 and many many others. And while I quite like the More V4, Boston 12 and Prime X Strung to name a few, I think that, 4 years later, even after all these new shoes, none of them is significantly better for me than Alphafly and Tempo Next, these air pods are magic ;p
peg 36 man :D the only time i had a non asics shoe for longer was the peg 36. great shoe.
Glad to hear it's working well for you 💪🏽🙌🏽 also side note supernova rise is super underrated! I have about 30 miles on my pair I think and really enjoyed it for those daily runs where I want comfort plus a little pep. Nice and stable for me as well
Superblast didn’t improve my credit. I’m returning it.
You probably did get the fake one…!
Man, your reviews are so thorough and articulate. I appreciate your content, my favorite shoe review channel!
The ASICS Superblast is my favorite shoe for long runs with marathon-half marathon pace efforts
I absolutely agree!👏
Same. Primarily a long run marathon-block shoe for me, especially with marathon-pace and HM-pace efforts. It’s the only shoe I’ve owned where my legs haven’t been completely cooked after a 20mi run.
The Superblast is the shoe I like to use to brag to my running buddies that I didn't pay full price for a hard-to-get super trainer that didn't work for me.
The way you tie your shoes gets me everytime lol I've never seen anyone else do that
Superblast is my favorite shoe for everything except recovery runs, thaks for honest review btw!
I’m here for this!!! I managed to return mine and it’s been a dirty secret since 🎉
Dude I really like the way you put your opinions. Many channels around just repeat the same thing over and over
Thanks man I really appreciate that 🙌🏽
My Puma Deviate Nitro 2 was my favorite all around running shoe in 2023…and it will be very hard to beat this 2024💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥
I agree, it's very versatile and gentle on feet
Spot on... if they can make a deviate nitro max, that will be awesome...
Love the DN2!
@@romeoiipunzalan1079 they have a Mag Max coming out.
The Superblast is my favourite shoe for a mara effort run, a long run and an easy run.
I really love the Superblast for my faster 5K ParkRuns. I have also used the Superblast for my first ever two 10K races the past two months . Feet felt great and I ran well enough
Good content as always! The SC trainer V2 is still one of my current favorites too. I use my Superblast here and there but it’s not my go to shoe.
It's weird to call a new balance shoe underrated but the sc trainer v2 is underrated
I am a heavy runner ~100kg and run very slowly. I’ve got a 100 km on mine and it’s starting to feel good now. I appreciate the stable protection and light weight. Fit is a little too snug but getting better with each kilometer. Currently in my top 3 together with the Saucony Triumph 20 and the NB Rebel V4. I use them all as daily trainers.
Thanks for honest review 😊
🙌🏽 thank you!
Ha ha! Glad it’s not just me. The shoe does protect the legs but I agree with your comments! Keep up the great videos!
Asics superblast is my favorite shoe for everything. Fav shoes of all time. Love them.
Superblast owner here. No way they didn’t change your life for the better. Blink twice if you are in danger 😂
Seriously though they took me 50 miles to break in but now I find them really responsive. I am 6’3 and 220 so I need the foam
is it really get break in? 😂
The Superbalst is my favorite shoe for…no one thing in particular. It’s an above average shoe, but it’s not the silver bullet so many people make it out to be. I do use it for some long runs where I inject some pace, but I don’t often reach for it feeling like, “I wanna run in the Superblast today.” However, if the Superblast 2 ends up having the FF Turbo+ from the Paris series, I might take another chance on it.
Jeff-Illinois-40 miles per week. Thanks for all the great videos!
🙌🏽
My first run wasn't great in these. They felt firmer than I expected. But my second run was at MP and this thing just cruises on long runs at MP efforts. For my footstrike, it's got the perfect balance of compliance and responsiveness under the ball of my foot. Feels like I'm gliding along with just the right amount of bounce.
I bought a pair for my first marathon training block. Glad to have the protection and ability to pick up the pace, but also agree it's not perfect for everything. Its strength is the long run with some pace/marathon effort added in, especially on tired legs.
The Asics Superblast isy favourite shoe for Long runs of 22k-32k training for Marathon, usually with pace progression
To me the Superblast is undeniably super bouncy and light, but it is clunky because of its size, so it never feels natural, and it feels slappy. I would love this same package in smaller version with cutouts in the heel and stuff like vaporfly etc...
you described the asics paris sky\edge ;p
Superblast is for marathon pace while compare it to novablast 4 for easy pace. But superblast can also do the job of novablast 4.
I skipped the Superblast, and I'm glad I did. The first couple months it got that "shoe of the year" talk.
Kofuzi really made that super popular with the Novablast 3. Since then, it seems like a race to name a shoe the "best".
The problem with that is, we lose the nuance of what makes the shoe great. And since no shoe is perfect, reviewers are reluctant to say what's actually wrong with the shoe. Every shoe has some cons.
I think version 2 will build off what was good about this shoe. And maybe it will finally be the shoe everyone thought it was this year... For more runners.
The superblast are my favourite shoes because I can use them for a almost-single shoe rotation in my a marathon training. The exception would be the very easy recovery run, and I think i could run the marathon in it 😊 Luckily i never felt i was fighting the foam, on the contrary, i always felt very well supported, even in longer run or longer work out
Ah!!! Finally!!! I had the same experience with the😢 novablast 4 and thought I was the only one in the entire world that thought the NB4 was firm and I didn’t like it. Actually commented my dislike and was told it was because of my stride😮. I know you
Like the NB4 but this video just proves not every shoe with seemingly raves reviews is right for everyone. Your honest and thoughtful reviews are refreshing.
You're perfectly right. The NB4 is not for easy runs as advertised and I was pretty pissed off cause they were hailed as the "NB3 but better". I missed the bounce of the previous version during slow runs. The NB4 definitely has a place in my rotation but it does nothing that the NB3 doesn't excel in
Out of my made experience with the Novablast 4 ( ran 90 k in them so far ) it feels firmer than the Superblast or the Nimbus 25 but after a few miles into my run the firmes went almost completely away and near to the end it felt softer than at the beginning 😁🤔 I‘m waiting for the time that it will be feeling softer the whole time. I‘ll see how many miles I need to break them in completely 😁😍 One thing I want to point out at the Novablast 4 is the upper 🙌🫶🏻 That is pure magic. I rarely had a better upper than that. Stretchy and soft to the feet 😍
After trying the NB 2 and 3, I don't even bother with the Novablast anymore. I thought I liked the 3 at first, but the issues just kept stacking up. And because the Superblast is built the same, I won't bother with that one either, even though people say lots of great things about it.
@@theghostofpcs2391 For me personally the Superblast is the ultimate Longrun shoe 😍 It‘s special for me 🙏 But it seems to be that every looks at it a little bit different 🫶🏻
I'm glad you're liking the 1080 more. For me the novablast is not an enjoyable shoe unless I'm going an hour+. that's where I really start to feel the benefit of the firmer foam. But 1080 is so much more comfortable in general
As a 90kg runner, I love this shoe. Doesn’t feel that bulky to me and is very stable while still having bounce.
I wish there was a little more room to spread the toes though - feels a bit pointy.
I love the Superblast for faster mid to long distance though it’s pretty brilliant for a fast 5km as well. It’s a great shoe and I don’t care if shoes I run in have a plate or not, I rate them if they’re good to run in!
Can confirm. Superblast did not pay my bills for me. Nor did it make me faster 😂
I really despised the Superblast because many reviewers hyped it up as a "do it all" shoe. Its amazing when I'm trying to hold a 6:00/mile pace, but is just awful while running slow. At 8:00/mile pace it's overkill, and on easy runs where my legs are dead it feels like I'm running on cardboard. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your honest review, cause most other reviewers just advertise the shoes.
Same exact experience I had! And thanks for the kind words 🙌🏽
ASICS Superblast is my favorite shoe for protection. Slow Dad jogger 190lbs. Helps keep my lower legs fresh.
Superblast is my favorite.. but its not a eureka moment. Its more of a balanced shoe. You actually can get too much of a good thing in other shoes. Stiff plates feel great. Maximum bounce feels great.. but the superblast is more honest. It has bounce, its pretty light, has botomless protection.. It also gradually forms to the shape of your foot and needs break in..
Its the best jack of all trades.
Completely agree with your take on the Superblast. On paper it is fairly versatile, but it wasn’t my go to for any specific kind of run. I found it far too stiff and form for easy and recovery runs and far too big and bulky for speed work. I did enjoy it for a couple of long runs with marathon efforts built in but I prefer to use retired marathon race shoes for that type of workout. Gave mine away after 200kms.
Superblast could be a good race shoe for a first time marathoner who just wants to finish the race and protect their legs. Otherwise it’s a very good yet overpriced daily trainer. For long run training even at Marathon pace there are cheaper options.
My favourite shoe for long runs at HMP and MP pace,also for easy runs.
Caboose or no caboose, that is the question. Loved it on the Novablast 3. Didn't notice it on the Hoka Mach. But the heavy heel rub was a big downer. Can't beat the durability of Asics. Big fan of the Nova series. I used to run in them in rainy Shanghai and it was still okay along riverside paths with some paved stones, but it does get slippery on the harder flat exercise paths.
More foam doesn't equal a nice ride..the market is full of bricks and marshmallows..it's very difficult to find the Goldilocks shoe that you can burn up a 5k and cruise a marathon in comfort..I rate the superblast right up there with the vaporfly as the most overrated ,hyped up shoes I've ever used..the costs mean nothing if it doesn't work for the individual..good video..happy Easter to all..
The superblast is my favourite shoe for a moderate-effort long run
I think the Superblast is best for long marathon workouts. But I would rather use the Prime X Strung.
The one time I have reached for the Superblast over any other shoe in my rotation is when I've been dealing with an injury. I find the stack, the light weight and the inherent stability makes it feel extra protective.
Pretty much the only shoe that lets rack up mileage injury free and I have tried many. It has a gentle firmness to and works great at different paces and distances. Of course not the best for intervals but you can do quick sessions with it. The best I find for long range tempo efforts. Have two pairs, different sizes. The snug fit pair I use for the faster efforts. There’s just something about these shoes that makes running very enjoyable for many, while being very protective as well.
We need asics metaspeed paris edge review and comparison with sky and the rest of super racing shoes
I’ve been using gel nimbus 23/24s for many years but now my miles are increasing and 10 mile days don’t cut it. My knees feel the pavement after a month of using the nimbus. After watching this video I’m going to test out the superblast thanks
i find superblast overhyped. I can do marathon effort with novablast 3tr. Would have being great if the Superblast had a slightly less stack so I can grip the floor better.
As other’s have said, it’s a good shoe for long runs with some faster pace segments.
What I don’t like is it doesn’t feel very smooth. This might be because it’s not very flexible, similar to many ASICS shoes.
I did some 800 repeats in them a couple weeks ago, and it was fine, although I prefer rebel v3 for that workout.
No regrets, as I ran a marathon PR & BQ in them.
I have issues with the lockdown on the Superblast. Get heel slip on my left foot with literally nothing that fixes it. I have narrow feet and a particularly narrow heel so I think that’s why
Yesterday I dropped a 17:40 pb (not planned) 5K. And in the evening I went for a slow recovery run 8 miles. Both runs felt a little unnatural because of the foam. But it is a do it all shoe for me. It just feels a bit weird. I'm 80 miles in on mine. 5 11" 155lbs. Run 60 odd miles a week
How will these (novablast and superblast) compare with the magic speed 3?
Thanks for the review! I ordered this before seeing your video and it arrives tomorrow but I could return. If you set aside price, and just wanted a good long run shoe for 15-22 mile distances once a week, protecting your legs and not giving the boost of a plate, is that a good use case or is there a better option? I have ES3 for intervals and will get ES4. I have Novablast 4 currently for l ong runs but like to move it to my “short” 8 miles easy runs since I’ve outlasted my second Mach 5 and Mach 6 has removed what I liked about it. I race in EP3 and will do EP4 or metaspeed sky Paris next. From this review, I didn’t quite catch what makes Superblast bad for a long run leg protector role. I also trusted Mach 5 as a travel shoe to do multiple run types and hope superblast could take that spot as an upside case.
thanks! sounds like it is exactly what you are looking for - it does a great job protecting the legs over long runs. i didn't love the ride feeling but my legs felt fresh after using it. so if your main goal is protection and some versatility for travel this is a great choice! also didn't mention here as i covered in a previous video but this is a surprisingly good shoe for walking and everyday activiies too
Awesome, appreciate the reply! I’ll try it on when it arrives and hope the fit and upper are as good of a fit for me as nova and if so, I’ll give it a go for my long runs. I tried on an Invincible previously and think that’ll be my fallback if super doesn’t feel good for any reason. Your reviews are super helpful and as a running obsessor, I love the detail you give us on a lot of models! Your guide on foams was hugely helpful for me
The Asics Superblast is my favorite shoe for NOTHING - and yet I have been the bulk of my mileage in it. Top end speedwork out on the track I rotate between the Takumi sen or streakfly, tempo days I've been loving the magic speed 2-but I grab the superblast more frequently, long runs I've been using my old race endorphin pro 3s, but I grab the superblast more frequently. Easy days have become superblast days as base mileage have become longer runs. I guess the only win for the superblast imo is that it's made it easy to keep coming back to more mileage day after day
Wanted to love my Superblasts but had to sell them after 40-50 miles. I thought these were really underwhelming. I couldn’t ever find a reason to wear them. My legs felt they had to work really hard.
Great quality and nice and stable. But the ride was stiff and frankly didn’t get any energy return. Don’t mind a high stack but couldn’t help but feel it was pointless here. Needs a plate. Fit/lockdown wasn’t brilliant either, and I tried them in half size down so it was the right size. feels very much like a first effort. I’m sure ASICS will nail it eventually.
Would always go towards an Endorphin Speed. faster and smoother.
I get why people like it but I didn't love the Superblast. I think the v2 with FF Turbo+ will be an improvement hopefully. The shoe is just too much of a combination of a big wide platform, firm foam, stiff midsole, and not much rocker. Something needs to give more for me personally in at least one category (more flex or foam compression or rocker or nimbleness). I think this is probably less of an issue for bigger runners and it probably makes a great marathon shoe for bigger runners, but at 5'7" and 127lbs even though I'm a 15 middle 5k guy and 1:12 half guy, I think I'm not putting enough force into it. I just don't love it at any pace. It's a big no for recovery paces because I feel like my quads get worn out, and it is much too wide/broad/unrockered/non-nimble for speed work for me. It really just shines at moderate like aerobic steady state paces, but even then it's just okay for me. The Speed 4 is better at overall versatility and at each pace range for me from recovery to easy to moderate to real speed work.
Underwhelmed with it. And I WANTED to love it. Impossible to achieve heel-lock, now at a tolerable half size down, still bad-ish heel lock with a runner's knot. Also, it bunches up my toes such that I feel them rubbing each other raw after 10 km or so. And they do not feel entirely neutral to me. The midsoleÄs medial forefoot is ever so slightly lower than the lateral forefoot, making me feel forced to pronate a bit. Many other neutral shoes and supershoes of various brands work fine and give me no such perception. Lacing is flimsy, cuts through and takes at least 2 gos to get right.
After 15 km my knees start hurting from constantly fighting their urge to pronate me and while high-stack, the main portion of FF Turbo Asics foam is so hard that I do not feel my bones and joints are fully protected and shielded from impact. But they do isolate me completely from ground feel. Even my lower Adios Pro 3 with their carbon and purportedly also rather firm Lightstrike Pro eat up the impact better.
Superblast hype has become an embarrassing case of fanboy mass hypnosis. and thread pirate marketing. It's an overpriced, mediocre shoe fit for no purpose in specific. No jack of all trades and certainly a master of none.
If i can get either superblast or novablast 4 for the same price $140…which one do you think is better?
For daily easy & long runs…i’m going to train for my firat marathon
Has anyone ever done a miles/$ comparison? You could even add versatility in the types of runs the shoe can do.
superblast is my favorite shoes to contemplate in 😅
The ASICS Superblast is my favorite shoe for… it isn’t my favorite shoe for anything lol. It’s a good serviceable shoe but because I am a slower runner I can’t get the best out of it.
The Superblast doesn't need to be used for every run to be good value; it just needs to last for as long as it takes to rack up 400-500 miles. And there are deals; I was lucky to get mine for £105 in an Easter deal, but I've seen other discounts, as long as you don't want the latest colourway.
If it would be super soft, this shoe would be an instant buy for me... but I think its rather firm, yes I think its firm. And thats what I dont understand. I think my Boston12 is softer than the Superblast.
The Gel-Kayno 30 was also such a bad purchase by me... claimed to be a cushion monster, turned out to be a firm lifeless brick.
My hopes for this year lie in the SC Trainer V3.
Till that Prime X2 strung, Boston 12 and fresh foam more v4 are my go to.
And for my "I want to have fun"-days I run my Li-Ning Feidian Elite and Challenger.
Thank you for your super long reviews btw.
I'm super excited about the sc trainer v3 as well! Also Saucony triumph 22 coming in May, but I dont think it'll be as soft as the new balance. In the meantime 1080v13 is the soft king for me 🛋️👑
@@supwell I tested the Triumph22 in our preorder, It distributes the pressure a little better in the heel area than the Triumph 20 I do own. Other than that no upgrade".
1080v13 is also on my bucket list, but I already got too many shoes and soon the feidian elite 4 is also coming... cant run so much :(
Please review the asics gel nimbus 26
It is my favorite shoe for nothing. I ran a veeery slow marathon in it and that is it. It is clunky for me and I cannot quite make it bounce. I recommend it for veeeery easy recovery runs after races due to the tons of stack.
Hi I'm Andrew from the UK I have been running for about 43 years and I'm Visually Impaired. I run because I love running also it makes me feel equal as my sighted runners and I can run at a good level considering my disability and I run 5 to 6 times a week
that's awesome! thanks for sharing your story 💪🏽 being able to run for 40+ years is one of my goals!
@@supwell I love your videos well done with put out there really good content I have a massive addictive issue about buying shoes
I thought superblast was overrated first few runs but wow after awhile i don't know i need another shoe. And i have all the best to choose from. After dealing with a calf injury the last three years this is the shoe that seems to be getting me back into running healthy. I'm a muscular 100kg heavy runner and i think the somewhat firmer and large amount of quality cushion and lack of a plate couple be helping me in the injury regard. I go half size down and think you've stated your shoe is bigger than your usual size? I wonder if that's a reason for your underwhelming review of this amazing shoe. I've heard so many high reviews and so many state it as the shoe of the year. I don't think there's any doubt for many people this is one incredible shoe and playing with the midsole or anything else in the future could jeopardize it's place as the best shoe ever for me and others. That's why i have 3 superblast shoes to rotate through now. Also as many have said it gets better and better with mileage and that durability on top of everything actually make the cost that much more justifiable!
is it worth the price?
I like it for ez runs but it hasn’t changed my life. On the other hand, and also possibly heresy, I HATED the Novablast. It actually got me hurt it was so uncushioned. Adidas Prime X Strung 1 is the greatest shoe ever in my mind. I can use it for anything.
1) I hurt my foot at work 2 weeks ago and the Superblast is the only shoe I have been able to run in with comfort. The combination of stiffness, protectiveness, and the accommodating toe box has allowed my to run with my swollen foot.
2) Regarding your thoughts about the Superblast with a plate, it does have a ton of foam in the forefoot, as does the Novablast. For pure speed, the Mach 6 or Hyperion Max are definitely faster but less protective on a long run. You may feel it more because you are probably hitting the ground with more force.
3) My lightweight trainers are great for doing 6-7 miles but they do not leave my legs feeling as fresh after 12-14 miles. On the flip side, I've stayed away from shoes like the Invincible and the 1080 because other soft shoes like the More v4 and the Nimbus make me feel like I'm working too hard on a long run. I also tried both of those shoes at work and the softness left my feet feeling tired.
4) You seemed to have expectations of the Superblast that were not fulfilled that may explain why you are more salty about that shoe than the more expensive Cloudmonster Hyper. It's great that there are so many different types of shoes now so we can each find what works for us.
Sorry to hear about the injury 😕 and glad to hear superblast is helping you get those miles in still. Comfort and protection here is one of the things I really liked
@@supwell Doing 12-14 miles is still pretty tough for me so anything that helps me get it done is great. Hopefully, it will get easier with time. I'm looking forward to getting back to my lightweight trainers for moderate runs as my foot heals up.
I've tried my new one on 5K race this morning, but i don't feel the energy return yet, is it need some breakin time?
Some people say they need break in time but I never got that super bouncy feel from them
@@supwellso what are we paid for? 😂 i don't feel much improvement between superblast and my nimbus 25..
@@geridsyanriyulius9696 yeah i agree - that's why i don't like the superblast as much as some other people do. my favorite in this category of expensive and fast/fun training shoes is the hoke skyward x. really bouncy and fun
It's funny to see the comments about the superblast and other running shoes... "Who cannot dance, puts the Blame on the floor!"
Superblast for sure needs you to go at a faster pace and not at a chill pace.
New balance rebel V3 > Superblast at zone 3 jogging pace
Superblast > V3 zone 4 tempo pace
Girthsome? Lets gooo
I have close to 300 miles in the superblast. It has been a great long run shoe for marathon training. HOWEVER, it is not worth the price tag. The saucony Triumph 21 is a better shoe (better fit/upper, better foam and better rubber).... and cheaper.
I'm JR. From Brooklyn NY. I jog 7 miles a week 😂
Just grabbed the invincible 3 for $107 including tax on Nike app
i love how firm it feels but isn't. gives my knees the best of both worlds
I've run on the ASICS Superblast one time and a few times on the Novablast. The Superblast feels amazing and I've literally no complaints. In the Novablast my left foot starts to hurt after 4 km, so that's for me the reason that I chose for the Superblast. I'm overweight so the extra cushion in the Superblast is great for my joints
Sorry to hear that 😅 for me the nike invincible 3 is the worst shoe I’ve ever owned not stable enough like the superblast
What's that expression - "poking the bear?"
😂
€100 Deviate Nitro vs €220 SB... not even a debate.
Hmm… not sure about this, I think you’re trying to save the ON CLOUDMONSTER 😅
I feel like brands are making shoes that look great on paper or are hitting wild numbers in the lab but really have no purpose and aren’t made for the people the last time brands were intentional about what shoes are being made was in 2018 or so… like everything now is peba, 40mm and stiff… like ON use to be the speed board and minimal brand and ASICS was the dad, super supportive and heavy shoe… and so on
Brands charging 200-250 for trainers with no plates or plates and neglecting daily trainers is crazy to me…
It's already stiff, that is why there's no plate. If plated, it's the Metaspeed.
im not a runner, if i buy a shoe, ist for comfort, carbon plate shoe are shiit, for daily use, i buy nike alphafly 2 and its shiit compare to the invincible 3.carbon plat hurt my foot after a long day walking, standing. i will say 90% of customer are not runner, so we dont give a fck about the plate
.... for long runs
No new insights after 100 miles, but Superblast is always good clickbait. Looking forward to the 200 miles review.
The new insight is it's still mid 😂
Superblast🫡
i love him but this is nonsense. he's just addicted to plates and doesn't realize the plated shoes have made his feet weak. plated shoes are for race day only. if you always run in plated shoes your feet get weak. its obvious.... the superblast is the best none plated shoe for long runs. i have most the shoes he mentions in this video and theres no comparison. the invincible 3 looses its magic very quickly and they're very heavy. the only way the superblast doesn't work is if you're a very light weight runner or you have weak feet. the superblast are good for 500km plus
Lol I did a 100 mile week in the rebel v4 a month ago
Yeah, leave it alone
If the Superblast is so good, then why can't I wear them as some sort of jacket without sleeves?? ASICS has a lot of explaining to do smh
Asics Gel-Gilet 1 coming fall/winter 2024
I'm trying to keep track of banned words and phrases. I think I know whats not OK on the radio, but as far as this channel....
A category that includes SC Trainer but remove the C from the name. Not OK, right?
A period of time during which training is reduced immediately prior to an important race. A very common term is off limits if I understand correctly.
What else?
For me, "disclosure', 'gusseted' and "lockdown" are words I am hoping not to hear.
The ASICS Superblast is my favourite shoe for absolutely nothing. It has been the biggest let down for me and hugely overrated in my opinion.
Favorite shoe for NOTHING

🙌🏽 thanks!
@@supwell how dare you have a difference of opinion about the beloved superblast😂 people are so weird about this shoe.
💀💀💀

tried giving your videos a shot, channel is a joke. nothing personal and just parrots what everyone else says.
Superblast has always felt clunky and bloated on my feet , sometimes I like them sometimes I actually hate them 😂 they only feel good at a certain pace and that’s about it for me,at least I got 355 miles out of them so not a total waste of money.l would run in my prime x strung v1 all day and everyday over the superblast. The novablast 4 I can run happily in them everyday, mad I know !
Superblast is the most versatile training shoe available.
The shoe can do it all including sub3-4 race.
Also a must have long distance option if you race with Metaspeed.
Perhaps personal preference matters👍🏻
