Asics Superblast Vs Asics Superblast 2 | How does the new version compare to the OG?

Рет қаралды 9,350

Күн бұрын

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.
The Superblast is a daily training shoe that veers towards faster and longer efforts. The midsole combines FF Blast Plus - the same foam found in the Novablast 3 and Magic Speed 2 - and FF Blast Turbo, Asics' speed-focussed cushioning used in the Metaspeed Sky +. That mix of materials aims to deliver a cushioned and responsive ride across a range of training sessions.
The shoe features a thin asymmetric mesh upper for breathability and comfort, a heel stabilizer for a secure ride and an AHARPLUS outsole rubber for grip.
Tom gives his view on how the two shoes compare.

Why do i feel like this is one of the best or most honest reviews out there without having tried the new version. Not as hyped as many KZfaqrs out there from someone who's used the V1 quite a bit. I trust this review and not sure I'm trusting the hype of some other reviewers quite so much. Interesting to see if this version lasts as long and maintains its great ride as much as the original!!

I would love to see a Superblast 2 vs Mizuno neo vista video. I have the original superblast but am tempted by the Neo Vista.

@12thomasal 4 күн бұрын

For what it’s worth, i hated the neo vista instantly, i knew in the running store it was too soft under foot

There's much less gaps in the sole where rocks can get trapped. Nice change / advantage of SB2.

for me superblast for non carbon plated ( a swiss army shoe) Saucony E Pro 4 for carbon (not so aggressive and forgiving race day shoe)

Have you worn the speed 4? If so, how does the nylon plate compare to the carbon on the pro4?

@komjungin7174 4 күн бұрын

@@gregbrown3082 yes i have. It's very different on feet, somehow carbon is more alive when picking up some pace. it's kinda like a little spring helping out your forefoot lifted for the next stride

Superblast 2 , novablast 4, or NB rebel v4? Cost not a factor. Will be my only road shoe.

What is up with the different colorways (white/gray vs Paris)? When will the white one be available?

Where is the additional 11g weight coming from? The midsole being supposed to be lighter, the outsole having less coverage... I suppose it's from the upper?

@andre6099 5 күн бұрын

The stone-collecting cutouts in the outsole have been filled (luckily).

Question for you, Tom. Considering how different FF Turbo in the Metaspeed Sky/Edge+ feels versus FF Turbo+ in the Sky/Edge Paris, can you clarify why you felt that the midsole in Superblast 2 didn’t feel that much different from the original? I absolutely love the Sky/Edge Paris and was hoping you would say that the Superblast 2 was as much an improvement over the original as the Sky/Edge Paris was over the Sky/Edge+, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. FYI, I do own a pair of the original Superblast and love it. I have over 700k on it!

Maybe the shoes need some break in as the FFTurbo+ tends to be softer over time

Superblast 1 is all over eBay for $126 direct from China, at least in the US. Hopefully not a fake but I don’t think it is.

Probably fake, my experience with cheap china imports (eBay) was always bad.

So essentially, it's a Blast from the Past! Is their anybody out there that will let me use their first responder discount to purchase them. I'll trade you some slightly used Nike Invincible 2's in size 11 for it.
