The Superblast 2 follows the hugely popular Superblast with a couple of key updates. The first of those is a new FF Blast Turbo+ midsole layer designed to be lightweight, bouncy and more durable, and there’s a redesigned engineered woven upper to improve comfort, breathability and fit.
Underneath that layer is the thinner FF Blast Plus Eco foam that works alongside the FF Blast Turbo+ to improve cushioning and comfort of the ride.
Tom and Mike have been testing the shoe to see if it's worth spending your money on.

@kevinclark5086 13 часов назад

Im pleased they didnt change too much. Forget using these for racing. They really just suit comfortable pace and long easy runs. Ive clocked over 600 miles in superblast 1 and really done anything you can think of in them.

@ds37 2 дня назад

I was waiting for you guys to chime in! Thanks for the long awaited review. The price of these bad boys is what prevents me from pulling the trigger. I'm leaning towards a Hoka Mach 6 as my daily and an Endorphin Pro 3 as my racer because I'm on a budget. Otherwise I'd probably go for the Superblast 2 and the metaspeed sky Paris.

@davidofoo 2 дня назад

The sample/proto colorway is just so much nicer than the Paris release.

@grek282 День назад

I even spent some time trying to find this colour somewhere. Damn, why did they change this good color to the orange yellow trash:(

Just picked up a pair of Neo Vistas. But these also seem very tempting..

@Feanaro5503 2 дня назад

Can’t wait to see the comparison with the Neo Vista

@geoffb2900 2 дня назад

Seconded!

@michaelgriffiths305 2 дня назад

The Superblast looks likely to put the NeoVista away with margin to spare… The answer could be if adidas sort their uppers out whilst keeping the weight down as light-strike pro can go toe to toe with ASICS premium option.

@jimoconnor8597 2 дня назад

Neo Vista is a far softer and slower shoe. SB V2 isn't much different than SB V1 and the SB is just a better, more versatile and firmer shoe. I have 75 miles in my Neo Vista in 3 weeks and have 450 miles in my SB V1. Still prefer the SB V1 for LR or even daily miles over the Neo Vista. Only advantage I can see for Neo Vista is price. Neo Vista still a good shoe but SB is just in a different class IMO. PS I'm a healthcare worker so get 20% off at Asics so SB was only $175. Steal!!!!

@paulmulks 2 дня назад

I have the Neo Vista and can safely safe it's a fantastic shoe. It's not designed to compete with the SB2 as it's a far softer midsole designed for long, slow runs. I had the SB1 and would use that for long efforts where I would also pick up the pace. Looking at the new FF Turbo+ midsole in the SB2 and having the Asics Edge Paris I'd say Asics are pushing the SB2 again for quicker efforts. Only gripe I have with the Vista is the upper makes my feet get very warm but the fit is brilliant so it's a double edged sword as they say

@ElmerLin 2 дня назад

Nice review! Just as a side note, and I swear I'm not trolling - Why is lacing such a talking point? From a personal perspective, I have bought every supershoe from nike, adidas, asics, saucony, hoka for the last 5 years, coming up to 300 pairs of shoes including non supershoes, and I have never had an issue with laces on _any_ of them. I just don't find them to be a deal breaker, some are easier than others, but all of them work fine if you tie them the way the manufacturer (obviously) intends you to. I don't have particularly 'average' feet either. They are wide, and have zero arch. What's going on?

@elevenbravo9742 2 дня назад

Thanks, will keep my v1 aka “og” 🏃🏻

@erikvaage576 2 дня назад

I LOVED SB1. Got over 500mi in my pair and used them for all of my long runs over three separate training blocks. Didn’t use Superblast for easy/recovery runs. Mostly workouts and long runs, so I could save them for more quality sessions. But it can do it all. Could replace two or even three shoes in a rotation.

@Laolu90 День назад

True. All you’d need would be a daily trainer then the SB which could cover speed days, long days and races.

@ganchinho 2 дня назад

how does this compare with the saucony triumph 21?

@minusinfinity6974 2 дня назад

Funny it was said by Asics that SB2 was supposed to bring a little more softness to the upper foam, not a lot but enough to make it more forgiving and yet still just as bouncy. Sounds like nothing has really changed at all. Surely they could have added a gripper outsole. I guess I'm going to wait for the Topo Specter 2 now.

@paulmulks 2 дня назад

I'm just not blown away by this. I sold my SB1's as I just found them a bit boring. Admittedly I put over 300 miles in them but in the end I moved them on. I dont understand how the SB2 has gained 10g when the FF Turbo+ foam is lighter then the previous midsole foam, there seems to be a little less outsole rubber and it has a smaller stack so where has that 10g come from 😫 Ok on foot you may not tell the difference but personally I'm on the fence with this. Might wait for a few more reviews to drop before actually parting with any money. Cheers lads 👍🏻

@pedrofilho6818 День назад

@wonkydonkey7899 2 дня назад

@balazsgalambos4458 2 дня назад

Thx for sharing, wondering the fit though what to order. I'm a UK 11.5 with pretty much everything,including the sky paris,but superblast v1 and nimbus 25 had to go down a half size and both of them shoes in size 11 fits perfectly. Am I ordering a size 11 or a size 11.5 in the V2?

@johnoleary148 2 дня назад

I am exactly the same. Would like to know.

@RunninTings День назад

1700km+ in first version, good timing

@LukaMagic-hg3dk 2 дня назад

You've mentioned something hard on the heel part, is it something to observed until you reach 100 miles? If it's hard definitely it would get you injured once you heel stomped on the ground hence you may experience heel pain or plantar fasciitis.

@ciaranmcbride6295 2 дня назад

@heymrguitarman7637 2 дня назад

I run daily in the superblast v1 but feel like I'm the only one not in love with them. I've just never gelled with them but won't replace them till they've done a good few hundred miles due to the cost. Lockdown isn't something I usually struggle with but I have with these. I also find them very firm which is probably the racer in them but feels pointless having so much stack height if it's not that soft. I don't hate them at all, just don't love them and won't be getting another pair

@b90b91 День назад

Superblast is the only shoe I lace with a runner's knot to get a good lockdown, but once laced comfortably I really like it

Gonna hold off for a few more reviews....not falling for the initial speal

@adnanatrash1186 День назад

I wonder how slow of a pace can you go comfortably with SB2? Like what do you mean by easy run? Maybe put a number to that so the viewers can relate better.

@afwaller 6 часов назад

The heavier you are, the harder you hit the ground, so the slower you can still go and see benefits. But it’s not a plated shoe, in general foam only are fine at any speed (you just may not see much bouncy energy return).
