All the differences between a real Asics Superblast and a fake. 

I was victim of this! I reported them as fake right away and managed to get my money back through eBay. Not wanting to waste a pair of shoes, I have worn them for 180km - they feel awful! 😂 This video is super helpful as I spent a lot of time deliberating over whether they were fake or not and the question “surely they are not making fake ASICS!?” constantly went through my mind!

I found Superblasts on Ebay for much cheaper than the online running stores and Amazon, $165 vs $200. Asics, Amazon and the stores all had very limited colors but the vendor on Ebay had a colorway that my son liked, he likes green. I ordered them from Japan and had a wait a bit to get them but after checking all of your spots I can confirm they're the real deal. Thankfully.

I have seen some superblast on reseller sites.., and I was leery .., now I guess it was for good reason

Many thanks for making this video. I bought mine 2nd hand from eBay so just checked all the details you covered while watching this and lucky for me they are the real deal.

Wow this opened my eyes on buying brand clothes online, not just shoes but everything 😅

Your videos have help me greatly for convincing me my pair were original or not. Buy my original superblast from taiwan ACS across sport. the best shoes for me

Just checked mine, they're real. 😅 I thought: if they're fake, they're amazing! 😂

This is crazy, I had no idea that fakes like this existed. I just bought the superblast direct from asics so hopefully I got a real pair!

Thanks for the heads-up!

Yeah, I am looking at the same shoe at Taobao. The price difference between seller can be between 250 rmb to 1650 rmb. I got a pair from official store now at 1100 rmb. Now is on the way to me.

the most obvious difference is the ff turbo foam. You can see it through the bottom of the shoe unpainted. In the original it has a yellow tint, whereas the fake has a white-ish foam.

Back in the day when Nike Vaporfly 1&2 were super hard to get I bought a couple pairs on eBay that were fakes. I bought maybe 5 different pairs over a couple years and 2 were fakes. They looked EXACTLY the same to smsllest details but neither fakes had a carbon plate in the sole. You could bend them in half super easy like all non-plated shoes. I contacted both sellers and said either refund all my money but $50 cuz that’s about what they are worth to me (i actually liked them both but not for running) or I would turn them in to eBay and Nike. They did return my money.

For Asics, I would avoid China and Hong Kong sellers and choose Japan sellers. Not perfect but a safer bet

Good video men! Did you went half size down ?

Very interesting!

The rubber on the fake appears much thicker than the rubber on the Asics in the video. Also, the heel bevel looks much different.

Yeah I think I've run into this before. Even from Amazon, but they use third party vendors. I just assumed they were moving old product at a discount, but probably a knockoff. But I felt terrible in some shoes.

I'm thinking Ebay or Amazon for sure.

Size 10.5 how many grams you think ??

I'd never get shoes from ebay, too risky. Amazing how good the fakes look though. You can return any shoe from any brands website if it's not the right size as long as it's not used so of course thats bullshit.

I also bought a fake Superblast, I discover because the fake have one midsole with two colors. You can notice this visually (even online), just look at the edge between the two soles. I sent back and I get a refund.

Just buy from an Asics store.

The fake superblast only sells for $30.99 in China.

The fake one looks fake

It is said asics is making their own counterfeits to overhype the shoe. As if it needed any more overhyping

The real one smell like gasoline

Hello my friend. Just to let you know I bought a pair of Superblasts which were a bit cheaper than the original ones. Your video managed to help me in discovering that they were indeed fake so I'm getting my reimbursement now from the seller! Thanks 🙏 One additional thing I would like to add: On mine the ref number inside was not "1013a127" (superblast code), it was "1011b215" which is the ref for the metaspeed sky.
