The new Asics Superblast 2 

@@cali_scruff1697 That's fantastic mileage. Great work.

@@andybrown9190 hope you love them.

Let me know how it goes for you - interested in your thoughts, and I hope you get from them what I have.

Yep, I was pretty lucky for sure.

@@stevros48 totally agree with you on all that, you're spot on. I've little k's in my Paris Edge, but I've some runs lined up soon to thrash and review them. But as you said, Asics are just killing it at the moment. Based in Wellington.

I've gone for the same size. The change in fit isn't big at all, and didn't force me to change the size. I was US10 for both the SB1 and SB2 - all good.

@@theinconsequentialrunner Great. Thank you. I've just ordered a pair of SB2 of the same size (9,5 us) as all the Asics shoes I have and I was afraid to have choosen the wrong size. I don't know the reason why a lot of people size 1/2 down ..... In two days I will discover the fit of this great shoes 🤞🤞🤞 Thanks a lot. 👍

Great question. The lockdown is good - and adjustment of the laces is easy to get the lockdown that works for you. That said, personally, I've my lockdown on the loose side of things and am comfortable with that. Re the pronation, I think it will be good, but the best way to test is to get onto a treadmill - so find a retailer that has a treadmill and give it a go there - so you can be sure of your purchase. I've the Nimbus 25 also, and I think that these two shoes are a perfect combo. Nimbus of the easiest of days, the Superblast for everything else, and even for racing if someone is running up to 20 mins for 5k. Anything faster, then can then look for a specific race day shoe. Actually, that's thought, before my 100k review, I'll do a 5k race in them and compare them to the Metaspeed Edge (Paris).

Thanks also for the feedback, much appreciated.

@@theinconsequentialrunnerappreciate this, I have a current rotation of the Nimbus 25 and Novablast 4 but just preordered these to add in as my race day shoe for my upcoming half marathon in October and will be. Great trainer leading up to my full marathon in March! Excited to rack up miles in the SB2

I use stability shoes for my recovery and long run but run half marathons and lots of training in the superblast.... They fit in the stable neutral cross category... The 2 needs far less break in time than the 1.... SB 1 was maybe 50 to 60km to break in but these are more like 20km and regardless they are so light but with so much stack ... Best training shoe on the market by far ... ASICS nailed it again

@@balazsgalambos4458 this one is true to size, they've pulled it back a bit.

@@jefreywith1f924 great question. I'll talk about in the update, as I try it more, but I think so. It'll work for forefoot, I'm mid foot and it gives me a lot. I do think it'll give more to heal strikers. I'll test and report on the flex too.

@@theinconsequentialrunner Thank you for your speedy response. I will stay tuned in for your follow up. I wish Asics would of released a full assortment of colors initially instead of waiting until September. This color combo is to much of a mismatch for me imo.

No flex is stiff shoe ...

@@kenken_77 good question. My foot is about average width and the upper feels roomy enough, so I think it would likely suit. Nothing beats trying them on, so I don't think you'd be wasting your time doing that.

@@theinconsequentialrunner thank you..! 🙏
