The ASICS Superblast 2 Road Running Shoes are engineered to elevate your running experience, whether you're chasing personal bests or simply enjoying an energised run. The core of their performance lies in the dual-layer midsole technology, combining FF BLAST PLUS ECO and FF TURBO PLUS. This synergistic blend delivers a trampoline-like bounce, making each stride feel more propulsive and less effortful. Runners will notice an immediate difference in responsiveness, allowing for quicker turnover and a feeling of being 'supercharged' throughout their run.
For fast training sessions and long-distance comfort, the lightweight design (249g) and high cushioning are invaluable. The significant stack height provides ample protection against impact, which is crucial for reducing fatigue over extended mileage. The updated ASICSGRIP outsole ensures reliable footing, giving you confidence even when conditions are less than ideal. The improved traction means less worry about slipping, letting you focus entirely on your pace and form. The engineered woven upper contributes to overall comfort by offering a snug, breathable fit that adapts to your foot, preventing hot spots and irritation on longer runs. These shoes are a key staple for any road runner aiming for an incredibly bouncy and fast ride.
Lacing: Unlace the shoes sufficiently to easily slide your foot in.
Fit Adjustment: Once your foot is in, ensure your heel is securely seated at the back of the shoe. Lace up evenly, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit across the midfoot. The tongue wing construction helps keep the tongue in place.
Break-In: While the Superblast 2 is designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period of a few easy runs is recommended to fully adapt to the shoe's cushioning and responsiveness.
Intended Use: Specifically designed for road running.
Runner Type: Suitable for adults, from casual runners to those training for marathons.
Terrain: Best suited for paved surfaces and treadmills. Not recommended for technical trails due to the outsole pattern and high stack design.
Gender: Available in various gender-specific and unisex sizes (e.g., Male UK 6).
Cleaning:
Remove excess dirt with a soft brush (e.g., old toothbrush).
Wipe the mesh upper and rubber sole with a damp cloth using mild soap if necessary.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can cause material degradation.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Longevity: Running shoes typically last between 300-500 miles, depending on individual running style, weight, and terrain. Monitor the outsole wear and midsole responsiveness to determine when replacement is needed.
