Long time since I bought a proper running sneakers and when I recieved the Mizuno's, I honestly thought the box was empty because the package felt there was nothing in it just the paper inside shaking🤣.. besides that am super impressed with the Neo Vista, properly comfortable booty style fit, didn't even need to tighten the laces that much, just barely. Midsole felt super soft and cushy but is still responsive.

Great to see Nick back!

@insomniaforever6444 Месяц назад

Both shoes are way overpriced in Australia at AUD$320 but for me, Superblast 2 represents better value and probably durability. I'd go SB2. Asics is using their premier super midsole foam. If Mizuno used their premier super midsole foam in a similar built shoe as the Superblast with perhaps a less aggressive rocker as in the Rebellion Pro I'd be very interested. The Rebellion Flash 2 is very good but if they super stacked it using their top tier foam and called it the Rebellion Flash Max then you would cater to that running demographic that loves those high stacked performance shoes.

@user-sx8rv5pz7u Месяц назад

sounds like an almost identical running feeling on the SB 1 and SB 2

@OoOSTEGOoO Месяц назад

Problem is, for basically the same price you might as well get the new one! I’m hoping to grab them when they come back out. So hard to get the top ASICS shoes, they just sell out so quick

Personally the sb2 feels much more bouncier

@jefreywith1f924 Месяц назад

I wonder how long the bounciness of the EVA base foam in the Neo Vista will last compared to the Peba base foam of the Superblast which seems to get better with age. Something to consider when it comes to price difference. Also EVA foam is known to harden up during colder temperatures.

@markm3747 Месяц назад

Doctors of Running say the Neo Vista starts losing its resilience at 100 miles and becomes softer.

@joshfrees7401 Месяц назад

I have over 130 miles on my neo vistas and still going strong! I was a little worried about the outsole because it felt soft, but it is holding up like a normal shoe as well. I anticipate getting around 300 good miles out of the midsole and 400 miles out of the outsole which is pretty average wear for me. I think DoR might be a bit harder on their shoes.

@Robbiesrookierunners-ck5ch Месяц назад

Interesting that you mentioned large the price difference. In Australia these shoes are exactly the same price. Sure it’s a smaller market in Oz, but would be keen to hear from Mizuno why.

@nicktaylor8684 Месяц назад

Please consider reviewing the Rebellion Flash 2. It’s a banger and incredibly underrated! Plus looks better than the NV and has a traditional upper.

@gingram2 Месяц назад

I bought those after I tried the Neo Vista's bc I thought they'd be the same kind of shoes and they definitely run/feel differently. I think the bootie upper on the NV fits better than the traditional upper from the Flash 2. I don't wear my shoe laces with the NV and with the Flash's the upper didn't fit well enough even when I laced them as tight as possible. I had to return the Flash 2's bc they were putting pressure on my left arch too. They're lighter than the NV's but they don't feel as good as the NV imo.

@nicktaylor8684 Месяц назад

@@gingram2 fair play. I have quite a wide foot with a high arch so they fit me perfectly but they do cause me to pronate a bit due to the narrow heel. They feels quite similar to the Rebellion Pro 1 and are more aggressive than the NV but I love them personally.

@adamh3246 Месяц назад

I love the flash 2 as well. Though similar to you I get mild pronation unless I am running at some speed in them, which is fine as they feel pretty aggressive. I feel if they improved the fit around the sides of the ankle it would probably prevent this and allow me to run a bit longer in them without discomfort the following days, I can only really do 10k in them happily.

@lukthijs9088 Месяц назад

Thanks, I was waiting for this review. Much appreciated!

They are the same price in Australia.

@LarleyStairwell Месяц назад

Yeah, so unfair!

@tevinabdikurniapratama4276 Месяц назад

The huge cutout midsole is big issue for me. My neo vista just holding up 30km in my rotation and it just stay on my closet for a while. Why? It's because of road of my area (Indonesia) is so bad. The aspalt is not as good at maybe in the UK or US. If Running using NV in track or smoother road. Is good. But. For my daily. ( i'm so bored when i'm running at track every day) I just going back to my SB1, and pre-ordered SB2 already. Can't wait to feel it in my foot as my SB1 already done 350++km..

@dkmchui Месяц назад

I dont really know where these shoes sit in rotation anymore. Race day shoes? Nope, Adidas AP3 for me. Speed workout? Nope. Adidas takuni Sen 9 or 10. LSD? Asics Kayano or Nimbus are as good for the task and cheaper. Daily trainer? Nope, Boston 12 or Novablast are cheaper and can do the job as good. The only use case I can see for Superblast is Long run at marathon goal race pace, which i used it for. I am a shoes junkie but I am lost what to do with Neo Vista other than being an expensive LSD trainer.

@theghostofpcs2391 Месяц назад

That just shows how different we all are. I would happily use the AP3 as a daily trainer (or my one, do-it-all shoe), before I would even consider the Boston 12, or NB 2 and 3. I like the Boston for hill sprints, but find it way too uncomfortable and clunky for anything else.

@Feanaro5503 Месяц назад

I have the Novablast 3 and I highly doubt it’s just as good. Not nearly as bouncy as either of these shoes.

@dkmchui Месяц назад

@@Feanaro5503 It depends on your expectation for a daily trainer and also the purpose of it . USD180 for a daily trainer it better be good for that price. I have no issue with Novablast, Pegasus 35, Beacon and even Reebok floatride energy to just log miles in zone 2 pace.

@paulmulks Месяц назад

I use my Vista's purely for those long, slower efforts 👌🏻

@Fozzee.1970 Месяц назад

The Superblast is definitely a longer run shoe for me at any pace. The protection alone makes it an easy choice. I have the MS3, Novablast 4 too but wouldn't use either for a longer run. I see it as a training partner to my Edge Paris.

@18emdy Месяц назад

but here in Australia both price is the same xD

@The_Average_Jay Месяц назад

I think the issue people have with the price of the superblast is a bit confusing. You get a shoe that can do everything, basically like having a whole rotation for 200 quid 🤔

@Nyelands Месяц назад

Yes but if you do all your runs in it it will wear down faster as supposed to having a rotation. So you don't save money on only having one shoe.

@Danielmeek1330 Месяц назад

I have nearly a 1000km in my first pair of SB1 and it’s still going! Amazing shoe. Can’t wait for tomorrow to get this one

SB2 vs Nova4

@tevinabdikurniapratama4276 Месяц назад

NV = Soft, Bouncy, slow, unstable, little bit heavier, Questionable durability. ( Slow eazy run better) NB = Bouncy, Fast, Slightly firmer, stable, lighter. 200km++ and just Slightly damaged outsole, nothing more (Daily run, faster pace better)
