Bought one of these fakes, honestly more comfortable and better to run in than my Brooks Glycerins. But this is coming from a 20 minute 5km runner, if anything this has more pop than the brooks.

Simple if its dirt cheap its fake.

Great advice and what a beautiful park! Looking forward to the next one.

Awesome comparison! Thanks for sharing your experience.

So this is why you weren’t at Tues night track!

Played this again to my kids this afternoon…turns out your metronomic footfalls are good at putting me to sleep 😂

What is the closest comparable shoe in the US? Thank you.

I found them on ALIEXPRESS....

Just a little correction. Kathrine Switzer was the first woman who officially ran the Boston Marathon. Bobbi Gibb ran it the year before as a bandit

how much does each shoe weigh ?

No Brasil, estao vendendo este modelo, superblast 1 no mercado livre nas é falso. Comprei um e devolvi. A diferença é muito pequena tem que conhecer o verdadeiro

Maybe you would have found out eventually anyway, but imagine you never had the authentic pair, and the fakes were your first pair of Superblast. You may of had suspicions but would you have really known they were fake? That’s the scary thing. That may or may not be a rhetorical question for you. I remember the one and only time I bought something fake. It was over a decade ago. This brand called Monster Cable made some extremely nice Miles Davis earbuds called Tribute. They retailed for something like $500 US I believe. I found them on eBay for about $350 or so. I was really enjoying them until the exterior metal casing fell off of one bud one day. Then I started scrutinizing the things and examining them closely not even owning a real one for comparison sake. But the fakes were not matching the Monster product description. The big tell was that metal exterior that had fallen off, was actually plastic with metallic paint on it. I tapped it with my nail, and even bit it, and I knew. I was gutted. I didn’t get my money back on them, but at the least I got a story and a TH-cam video out of them (which I’ve probably taken down now). Thanks for warning us and at least you got your story and video out of it now. Real quick. Even fake Superblast and especially Nike Alphafly 3/Vaporfly 3 have started to invade Japan on a small scale. On a user to user selling website Mercari, a few merchants are selling fakes, but they clearly mark them as such in the description. But it’s unnerving to say the least even seeing them.

Thanks for your video. I just ordered a pair online through GOAT. I don’t know if there’s fakes of these in circulation but any tips to tell if they’re fake or not?

Loved the Boston 10, love this.. Shoe tubers not including yourself mostly are 60kg and wear that many different shoes they actually don’t know what they are talking about.. Plus when you rarely meet honest people….. I like simple shoes, This shoe is amazing and does exactly what it needs to do.. Thanks 🙏🏻

If you are buying them on eBay insist on using their authentication service.

great video, i had the same experience. Bought on Vinted and they felt not OK.

Tour de France “not strictly running” 😂😂😂

Over 900 miles in my sb1. Can’t wait to upgrade

Thanks for checking out my channel and Superblast 2 video. I’m here returning the favor. The S4 sounds like a really good tempo shoe. Also, I know the ASICS store you were at nearby Tokyo Station. That’s a great store, I almost went there to buy the Superblast 2. Many runners like to run around Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, so they oftentimes use the shower rooms available in that store.

Great review man. But I haven't understood an j Important thing. Do you have the same size of SB1 or you went 1/2 size down as a lot of people advice to do? Thanks for your reply

There is size difference between two shoe 👟

Just ordered mine after watching your video, should have them tomorrow.

Excellent review, appreciate it. Is this true to size just wondering? Had to size down with v1 myself half a size

I'm just about to purchase these. Done 600 miles in superblast 1. For me they arnt a fast shoe in a sense of feel compared to a carbon racer. But I use these for marathon training a long side the prime x strung and you can pretty much cover everything between them both.

Great to see a NZ kiwi review channel for shoes ...where are you based ? So the only issue I found is the toe box is definitely smaller on this 2 version. I sized down half a size with SB1 and it was perfect but I feel like I'm in between sizes with this one ... I'm pretty sure ASICS will ramp up production with the 4 new colorways due in September so if this size does work out I will go up half a size for next pair. ASICS killing it atm ... Just took my Paris metaspeed edge for a blast a few days ago and they are superb.

I have a dilemma now because watching your video i realize that the SB i have received today from AliExpress are fake (i only paid 52 euros) but it is an improved fake version. It is as light as the original and doesnt have the blurred letters, lol.

how's the width on these - will they accommodate wide footers? thanks!

I love my super blast 1 and its my number 1 shoe (except the asics metaspeed sky paris) cant wait for my super blast 2.... thanks for the review

Great review, I trust your words of wisdom. My sb1 have life in them but I'm going to get sb2 right away!😮

Will this shoe work for forefoot strikers? And being a stiff shoe obviously to accomadate the rocker, will the forefoot start to flex just a little bit over time?

You got the shoe so fast!

Great review!, I have never tried superblast, only Nimbus 25 and I like it the ride and stablility of N25, is Superblast 2 has some stability for my mild pronation on my left foot? and how is the lockdown?.

Thank you for such informative video! Just checked both my SuperBlast pairs and both are authentic. I am only running wearing SuperBlast and it’s a mission to buy them. First pair came from the USA and the second from Japan. I think it’s safe to buy from Japan, but not from China 😅

I’ve lots of respect for people that can do that. To help them to run so far every day with minimal damage they would have to - keep the intensity low and in the aerobic zone. Then it isn’t so damaging on the body. - prepare by training appropriately for many weeks beforehand. - be vigilant with rest, recovery and refuelling during, before and after each day - have a period of rest and recovery after they’ve finished the total event

I've actually wondered the same thing. Great informative video

Fascinating video, thanks so much! I have never tried the Superblast myself but have only heard great things and am looking forward to getting a pair one day!! I bought a cheap pair of Hoka Rocket X2 online and am truly worried they're fake though I've got nothing to compare them to unfortunately, haven't even taken them for a run yet, so hopefully some nice person will make a video one day!! For 18 months I was an English teacher in the province of China where 80% of Chinese shoes are produced. We visited factories where they would reproduce any shoe you wanted, any brand, and swore black and blue they were JUST as good as the original at about 1% of the price, if you bought a container load of them at a time of course!! Many local businessmen wanted to take us to visit factories and tried to talk us into doing business with them.🤷‍♀

i now telling my self you did a video like this a few months back lol hope all is well with you.....

This Willie sounds like a very wise man

Another great reason to do sock-shoe-sock-shoe!

Have you ever done a vid on the best watch data screens/layout for training and racing?

Seriously, I thought the whole point of running shorts was that you run in them…and them alone. Not sure why you’d wear undies underneath (maybe the video will tell me…)

Finally…tackling the most important issues in running!

Have you tried the S4 for marathon since it is marketed as a shoe for sub 4 marathon?

Wow…so much to unpack here! I’m not gonna talk about you trying to ruin track strategy…but where’s your house gone?

The issue here was the chinese's ability to imitate these designs manufactured in their hometown... Why? Because the majority of our footwear are now manufactured in the East, specifically china. This was due to compensation for the inexpensive labor force. After being given the opportunity to reproduce those blueprints provided by these footwear firms like (HOKA, NIKE, ASICS, NEW BALANCE, SAUCONY, BROOKS, MIZUNO, ON, ALTRA, UNDER ARMOR, ADIDAS, REEBOK & PUMA, underground (illegal), unofficial or unregistered chinese manufacturers replicate these designs for profit and they primarily use localized and subpar raw materials to sell these products. Sigh..., such a shame! 😠 There are only two brands I know that were not officially manufactured in china namely: KARHU (Finland) & DIADORA (Italy). A business associate press from Kaohsiung, Taiwan revealed this hard fact

I also love this shoe in the US!, Used my Metaspped Edge + for a half recenlty but will use this for my Marathon in 3 months. It runs a little like the Asics metaspped edge plus but more forgiving..I would love to buy the new paris but it's $250 and I'm pretty happy with this, it's like a more stacked, with more drop version of the original Sky. Which I also really loved.

9:49 Holy cow! This is really a difference to consider in its own for a tempo run shoe. 320 grams! Your legs must’ve been begging you to stop.
