The ASICS Superblast 2 is built to deliver an exceptionally dynamic running experience. Its primary strength lies in the combination of its two advanced midsole foams, FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF TURBO™ PLUS, which work together to create a sensation of extreme softness and an incredible spring-like return of energy. This 'bouncy' feel makes it highly efficient for:
Long Distance Training: The ample cushioning helps reduce fatigue over extended runs, providing sustained comfort and protection.
Tempo Runs and Faster Sessions: Despite the high stack, the lightweight nature and responsive foams allow for energetic transitions and a quick turnover, making it suitable for picking up the pace.
Race Day: For runners who prioritize cushioning and energy return in competitions, especially marathons and half-marathons, the Superblast 2 can be a strong contender.
Daily Mileage: Its comfort and durability make it an excellent choice for everyday training on roads and paved surfaces.
The shoe’s engineered woven upper ensures a snug yet breathable fit, minimizing internal movement and enhancing overall foot security during dynamic activities. The updated ASICSGRIP outsole provides reliable traction, giving you confidence on various road conditions. It’s particularly suited for neutral runners seeking a maximalist shoe that doesn't compromise on speed or responsiveness.
