I have 3x pairs of Superblast 1s ..... 430mi, 330mi and 80mi, and the 400+ pair still feel fantastic. I will definitely be sticking a pair of 2s in rotation.

I received mine already and fortunately they have a few millimeters less space at the front than last year's Asics Nimbus in the same size

@andrewharper4296 Күн бұрын

I ordered a size 9 UK from Japan and although they were a little roomy, my concern more than anything was I had some heel rub, my fear was I was moving around in the shoe to much. However over time I think the shoe has started to flex more and I’ve had no issues since. I also have very minor Morton’s in my right foot and I’m always very aware now of making sure I’m in a shoe that allows my toes to splay more. I used to run in snug fitting shoes and my gut feeling is that was partly the cause of the condition. I’m hoping the v2 is similar and will have some toe box room.

@Marsubleu 2 күн бұрын

Will give it another try. The outsole seems much better. And it sounds like an improved midsole and upper too, so worth trying.

@andrewharper4296 Күн бұрын

I think that the thing about this shoe. People mention the price, but it’s genuinely a "do-it-all" shoe. I’m running in a pair of V1’s now and rather than dig out a pair race shoes for the Great North Run I’m considering using the Superblast so I’m comfortable on the day. Also because the race is so busy that a race shoe is kinda wasted. Lol😂

Superblast Paris+ 2, the sequel

@davidwilkinson9792 Күн бұрын

Got mine on Monday and 70km in. A little clunky/not as cruisy as the Nimbus at 5min/km and slower, and not as fast/snappy/propulsive as a plated shoe for tempo/+ pace, but sooo much more forgiving. The toe box is reasonably accommodating, but they are not particularly wide in the midfoot. Early days, but I think it's going to be the best shoe I've worn for longer tempo runs, progressive runs, and longer Z2 runs with intervals - doesn't feel like there's much tradeoff between pace and cruisy comfort. I'll choose this every time if I'm in 2 minds about whether to put on a fast shoe or a daily.

I've just got the SB2, only done one 8km run in them so very early days, 7km easy and 1km at tempo.... they felt soo weird, easy pace just felt horrible, and tempo felt hard work. I hope I can get used to them and get some value from them. I feel like I've been sucked in my internet hype.

So ridiculous. Now the running warehouse website says that colorway won’t be back in stock until September.
