ASICS Superblast 2
A plateless super-trainer stacking race-grade FF Turbo Plus foam over FF Blast Plus Eco for a huge yet remarkably light platform. It handles long runs, uptempo work, and even daily miles with the same effortless bounce, which is why many runners treat it as a one-shoe quiver. The only real obstacle is the price.
Reach for the ASICS Superblast 2 for everyday training miles, long runs and tempo days and intervals. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Superb energy return without a plate
- Very light for a 45mm shoe
- Genuinely versatile from easy to tempo
- Expensive for a non-race shoe
- Tall stack won't suit runners wanting ground feel
