Well, I just came across this video after trading in my Superblasts for the NB SC V2s. I have always worn Asics, never had New Balance. The Superblasts were just firmer than expected after several runs, and just didn't have much energy return to propel me forward. I put on the Supercomp V2s and will never look back, way more fun, way more bounce and energy return, and they feel better for everything. I will NOT miss my Superblasts. First NB purchase and it is amazing!

While the sc trainer v2 is a new shoe, they seem more exciting vs buying another pair of superblast. With that said, superblast has absolutely proven itself. I’m a shoe geek with dozens of pairs of running shoes in my rotation. And the superblasts is my favorite long run shoe… Once passed the initial excitement of sc v2, I would be surprised if they would come close to the excitement of superblasts.

Beautiful honest reviews! Thank you guys.🔥❤️

SuperBlast is really a great shoe! Asics gives me 40% off as a healthcare worker so cost is around $125. No better shoe out there for this price!!!!

I like the scenario based questions at the end like "what would you pack if you had to take a trip and use 1 shoe..." That speaks a lot about a shoe for sure.

Just started a rotation with the SC Trainer V1 & Novablast 3. Wouldn’t wear the SC Trainer to the gym, but it’s so comfy for easy and long runs. Using the ASICS for workouts. Glad to hear the SC V2 still maintains a lot of the traits of V1. Also glad to hear the upper is better as that’s my biggest complaint of the shoe. Feeling the laces through the thin upper. Thx for the review!

You read my mind. This is the comparison I have been looking for.

Great video, thank you! Would love to see New Balance SC Trainer vs ON Cloud Monster battle.

I really don’t like running easy in the superblast but it is surprisingly good with interval sessions.

Good morning, brilliant the comparison. Like to Meaghan and Thomas. My vote goes to asics Superblast. A nice weekend for everyone.

NB looks like it’ll fit a wider foot so I’d probably go with that.

I own a pair of SC Trainer v1 and I love them! Best shoes for easy/recovery day. The landing is so soft and the ride is so smooth. After my unsuccessful attempts of trying to get used to the nike invincible I finally found what i was looking for. Nike offered great protection for my legs and day after running in them I felt fresh but the run itself was always hard and fatiguing. I liked the bounce but i hated the profile of the outsole which forced me to weird, unnatural landing. In SC Trainer there is no such thing! The protection of the foam is just as good (if not better) as in the invincible but the ride is so much smoother. I feel great during the run, just after the run and the next day I feel fantastic. When it comes to the stability there is indeed a little issue... But I think it's more related to the combination of huge stack height and drop than to any kind of instability in the construction of the shoe. For me only running downhill and doing very sharp corners feels a little weird. But I'm getting used to it. What I'm really concerned about is durability. There's a lot of soft exposed foam on the outsole. And it's getting beat up pretty fast...

I really liked the SC Trainer when I tried it on. Regrettably, while it mostly fit my foot with the 2E width (while I typically need 3E or 4E), the toe box was a bit too narrow as my big toe was pushing halfway off of the foam. If a 4E were available, I'd be in!

Currently have the NB3 & it's approaching 300 miles.. Gonna squeeze those miles out and buy the SB for the summer miles!! I have $80 credit at my local Road Runner Sports store and might stack it to cash out those bad boys. Fast enough for steady/tempos at HMP???

Which one has more stability?

I have owned Superblast for about 3 months. They really are great shoes, but you have to be careful with size. I chose 44 (Germany), and I keep thinking if it wasn't more suitable half a size smaller. Anyway, thicker socks and tighten the laces well and it works I also like them because they respond well to speed

The B2S I’m looking forward to is Hoka Mach X vs Saucony Kinvara Pro. But I guess I have to wait for both of those to come out first. [waiting intensifies]

Love the ‘Super Daily Trainer’. Let’s make it a thing…

How would you (or others) compare these to the saucony endorphin speed 3? Or put them in a different category?

How did u get white superblast????

My New Balance SC Trainer v2 only lasted 150miles, forefoot foam completely disintegrated, managed to get NB to replace them and the same thing happened on the new one!

yay go sc trainer! i would pick that too

SC Trainer v2 or RC Elite v2?

The Superblast is amazing ! I miss it if I run in a different shoe so I bought another one so I don't have to choose something else. not using for race day though

New Balance SC Trainer V2 vs Asics Magic Speed 3 please...

My two favorite shoes! I have them both but the SC Trainer is better for those slower paces and as a daily trainer overall. The SC trainer also feels easier on the feet than the superblast. The superblast sings at those faster paces for me but the only key thing that really seperates both of these is that plate. When i'm feeling tired on those long runs that plate really keeps me rolling forward and in good form. I can start feeling a bit of the flex and stiffness of the superblast when i'm tired in those long runs. In this instance I would choose the SC Trainer over the superblast as well (and you also save $20!). Love the video, keep up the good work guys!

SC trainer V1 vs V2???

Hi There !!!!!!!! Love da channel but what is a good shoe for "Shakeout" runs..I hit up all the major marathons..but ...heres the key..I onldy do the Shake out runs ..My confidence is not there yet

Superblast is amazing.

Super Blast for the win!

Im’ma let you finish, but I can’t trust Superblast after a Novablast 3rd generation (gave me PF). I switched to NB SC trainer.m 2. I put 600+ in ASICS NB 1 & 2, but NB 3 destroyed my feet. I am afraid of the Superblast, but will prolly try it… after NB4.

Is the Superblast still a firm ride after the break in period? How is the ride and feel of the midsole after the break in period? I prefer mid to softer midsoles but do like high stack. Thanks!

Im running a 12 hr ultra on pavement in a few weeks im down to these 2 shoes any recs on what youd go with?

The SC is currently $124 at Running Warehouse!

With Superblast, I can almost run everyday. It is out of stock in my country (Turkey), and I check everyday for new batch to come. Please Asics!

Superblast really needs to come in women's sizing. I just couldn't get that shoe to fit.

Question! If you had to run a road 50 mile ultra in the heat, which of these two shoes would you pick? 🧐

Meg, youre the man

I just got the sc trainer 2 and only had a couple of runs in it, but this isn’t even close for me. The superblast is far superior and there’s no way I’d pick the sc 2 over it for any type of run

What would you pick between SC Trainer v2 and Boston 12?

I actually considered the Superblast for my daily easy run trainer, but ended up with the NB More v.4. It is heavier, but I found it to be more comfy cushioned. I just bought the NB SC Elite v.3 too for racing and speed work, so have to wait a bit for my CC to cool off, so that I can add the SC Trainer v.2.

Asics Superblast are horrible at cornering. I've almost rolled my ankle twice running in them. I prefer the Saucony Tempus any day as a daily trainer over the Superblast. I've considered the New Balance though since I just picked up the supercomp pacers for track work, I may look more into the new balance for another daily

I have the SC trainer v1. Great shoe, but it can be a bit unstable as it makes me supinate. Also I wear it as a "everyday doing everything" type show and at times when you're walking you can feel the carbon plate. Not always the greatest feeling. With this being said I still wanted to try the SC trainer V2 and see if the lower stack and a wider version could help with the supination and be better performing.

Superblast all day and twice on Sunday

Love the supercomp trainer. Asics shoe was ok but no comparison for me.

I would think a ASICS SUPERBLAST between two shoes vs New Balance Sc elite v3 would be a great comparison

Still waiting for sc trainer 1 to go on sale😂

I can already see whats going to happen to shoes in the future going from these youtubers suggestions. Every shoe is going to have a carbon plate. The superblast is great because it doesn't have a plate! I feel they completely missed the point of the shoe and chose a heavy carbon plated shoe just for one reason. it felt faster. Save the carbon plates for racing shoes.

Do we have a release date on the sc trainer v2?

Supercomp all day everyday so easy. Cheaper and plated. This shouldn’t be a debate… the superblast is like getting donuts without sprinkles… like it just make no sense

Over 200lbs. Which one would work best? Opinions please!

But what would you choose between V1 or V2 because I have that dilemma right now buy another pair of V1s what I love or gamble on the V2s

Please compare them to Speed 3, Deviate Nitro 2 and Boston 12.

when Megan says "firmer" or "not as squishy", it means the shoes will give me pain. Based on these few words, the shoes are a no-go.

For the record ASICS SUPERBLAST is the best walking/running shoe of the DECADE!!!

Supercomp v2 or primex

Novablast makes me overpronate, wondering if Superblast would be as well

Doesn't the SC trainer weigh more and last about half as long as the non-plated Superblast? Seems like that's easily worth the extra $20, no?

In every aspect, New Balance SC Trainer v2 looks like to me a New Balance version of Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 but heavier and $20 more expensive.

ASICS make beautiful shoes

🤯

Superblast 100%

I mean I like my superblast but they still feel clunky and big on my feet with a very average ride,some of these shoes are ridiculously hyped,my old speed 2s still feel so much better.

After some kms… New Balance 100%.

This channel doesn’t cop-out 😅

I’m going to purchase both of these sneakers and tell you the 100% truth

My vote goes to SC trainer. Better shoe

One point of interest. The Superblast is a work of art. Beautiful design and amazing look. The New Balance SC Trainer V2 is just ugly.

The price of the superblast is frackin ridiculous

Had to go SC Trainer or else they mightve gotten cut off from all the kickbacks by their New Balance masters who you know were watching closely 👀 lol

Superblast has a plate

is supercomp v2 as stable as superblast?
