ASICS Superblast 1 vs. 2 | Should I Upgrade? 

They are here!!!!

The most important change here is the outsole. Superblast is a rock collector 😂

Seems like a nice update. Thanks for the review.

Brilliant summary, thanks! My favourite roadies of all time.

My wife bought a pair of the Superblasts in March for my bday and I finally started using them in June. I love them so far and honestly I like the stiffness of the shoe at slower paces. Maybe I'll look at the Superblast 2 late this year, but I'm also excited to see how the NB Balos turns out.

Yessir, I preordered mine! Very excited. Loved the SB1 and had to rotate a bit off them to the Novablast to not wear them down because I loved them so much .

Great review! I was hoping to see your thoughts on the New Balance Minimus Trail that just came out.

Are they true to size this time? Version one was was 1/2 size too long. Just like the Novablast and most other Asics shoes if you went 1/2 size down they would feel too small.

As someone with low flat feet and pronation who is currently doing very well in the Guide 17, how is the Superblasts stability compared to that? I think Matt liked the Guide 17s as well and might have a clue for me? I also have the Kayano 30, but something about them is too much for me (softness or the guidance) so the low profile stability of the Guides work great. Hoping I might be able to progress into a stable superfoam shoe like this one!

How does it feel on after uphills? The v.1 was so stiff my feet would be sore from trying to push uphills on long hilly runs (which are my standard routes)

Would love to try either superblast. But no US14😢

Hmm... The foam upgrade sounds nice but will the spring/bounce last as long as version 1? V1 were good for 400+ miles. I've abused the heck out of mine on trails, a Marathon PR, Speedwork, and recovery runs❤

does this still require a similar break in period?

I'm waiting fo Magic Speed 4 VS Superblast 2 🙏

1:14 probably meant 249g?

preordered mine

I believe the Rubber compound on SB1 was actually AHA+, which is a longer lasting rubber, than AHA which is found on Novablast. Q. what is the SB2 Compound anyone? Reason if more luggy, will wear down faster, Saucony did this in their Speed shoes, to reduce longevity. Mine went from over 500 miles to 150.. Between versions. Be warned trust no Brand especially if they change thw name ir tread pattern.

Would you say it is a bit wider on the forefoot?

Is the sizing the same? I went down a half size in the OG Superblast.

Hi David.. Many thanks for the video. Just one quick question. Between Superblast 1 or 2 and the Mizuno Neo Vista, which one do you feel is more stable.for those who just needs neutral stability?? Thank you again. Kind regards.

349 gr? Maybe 249

Are these ok for a mild pronator?

Midfoot looks low, toe box narrow. Is that true? Hope they offer this in a Wide fit!

How about price? Is it more expensive than superblast1?

What about the sizing? Did you pick the same size for both of the shoes?

Due to its firmness does it offer a degree of stability? I pronate but fully stable shoes are too much

So sad can't afford my dream shie 😢

Kudos to you, but I would not bother to test every pair that shows at my doorstep if I were in your position, guys. As far as I know you all have real jobs and DOR is a fun project but that's it. Everybody in the comments is like "But how it compares to this, how it compares to that... I need stability, I need shoe for this and this injury... There is a TON of shoe reviews out there, if DOR hasnn't review them (yet), then compare the shoe to the closest thing that exist and look for a review of that. Or just wait, they will get to it eventually.

“They changed the outsole to make it a little more grippy and versatile…”. Have you been taking to the trails with your Superblast’s, David? 😂

I must the only runner that hated the Superblast 😂

not in wide they suck
