450 miles on the OG. Can't wait to get V2!!!! Honestly, wish I could find the V1 on sale but they were almost impossible to find in men's 8.5US at full price.
Thanks for the review. Great job! I also have the opportunity to test the v2 and for me the outsole has changed quite a bit. Whereas the outsole of the v1 was rather slick, on the v2 there are « grooves » which increase a bit the thickness of rubber and improve the grip which was for me one of the weak point of v1.
I have more than 600k on my v1, still great and my top choice for longer runs. Neo Vista should be at my door soon, really curious how that works, Alex I guess you will do a comparison. But I may still not be able to resist the v2, v1 is such a great shoe, my only complaint is the stone collecting outsole.
@Chungdol coming from the SC trainer v1 I was first a little disappointed in the Superblast v1 as a long run shoe and basically used it as a daily trainer, but it did break in and soften up after a while and became one of my favorite shoes and THE long run shoe for my marathon training. I also never felt it bottoming out, but I'm a heavier heel striker running very differently (and slower) compared to Alex.
@@therunophil Thats why I was asking you, thank you. I'm also a more heavier runner but I do midfoot strikung. The Novablast 3 for example is not a bad shoe for me, but I find it very boring, and many compared the OG Superblast to a beefy Novablast 3. I look forward to the SC Trainer V3, but I have read rumors that said it wont be a very soft shoe, firmer than the rebel v4. I give the Superblast 2 a try... but so far the chinese running shoe brands got my heart as weird as it sounds. Durable, funny, soft... thank you!
@Chungdol the Mizuno Neo Vista is a super soft shoe with great bounce. If I didn't know it's EVA with some dark magic in the manufacturing process I would have sworn it must be some Peba or so. I have only one run in it so far but great first impression, also in comparison to stuff like Prime X 1 or Invincible.
I really liked the Superblast for long run at marathon or 30 sec slower pace. Out of all my shoes the foam has been the most durable. I'm well over 300 miles in it and it still feels good. However, the rubber is terrible. I agree its not great for tempo work, just lacks pop and feels too bulky under foot (even though its relatively light weight). Excited to try out the new version, the rubber looks better. And overall looks better.
The first superblast was okay but slightly too firm for me so probably skip this one and get the mizuno neo vista instead Plus I still have plenty of miles left on my original superblast
@steveh8758 Absolutely! My only gripe and it's a very small one is how hot my feet get because of that knit booty upper, however the flip side is that the upper is very comfortable when on so the warm feet are a worthy sacrifice 😂 Otherwise it's a banger or a shoe 👌🏻
The changes really isn’t the ones I wanted. Iiked the roomier fit anf didn’t havr to size down. The mesh was lightweight and perfect. Why change anything that works?
Sigh of relief, as some of my favorite shoes in the past get really nerfed in their next iteration. So kudos to Asics for the restraint, I suppose. "If it ain't broke" as they say. Prioritizing this shoe over the rest when it comes out. Thanks for the review!
Apparently the next (third) iteration will be completely different and will make some people disappointed. But let's be happy that we have the 2 now with only good changes. Can't wait to pick up a pair.
I’m a novablast 4 tr version fan… if this cost just a bit less I would try it ; but as it is just not worth it for me to upgrade from novablast for training and just grinding those miles on the gravel local trails I use .
Thanks for the great content. Please do a review of Super Blast one after all the distance and time you have spent in Super Blast One. How it has changed from out of the box till now.
Seems to be the perfect upgrade to the og superblast... More comfortable and breathable upper, better outsole, ff turbo + midsole. It might seem not that different but that's a good thing considering it's a favorite for a lot of people. Don't fix what's not broken!
So... Who at asics decided A THICKER MORE PADDED upper was needed wtf. Its 25 degrees outside and the og superblast is frying my feet. Shame. Also wasnt tge point of turbo+ to be more responsible and squishy not denser 😅 Ill grab one to test. But i thinj ill stick to the og superblast
Bah. I feel blast plus eco is very diffrent from normal blast plus. Dissapointing. But maybe the diff isnt big as you say. I also like the roll in a shoe. Early Midfoot striker.
You are not alone...Yeah people are not allowed to trashtalk it when they review it, but here and there some slips through, I know no one who would take the eco versions over the OG versions in terms for feel and performence. And I also do think: its very noticeable. Every shoe I ran with "eco versions" ran like dead bricks.
Hopefully it doesnt come through as much.. novablast is kinda ruined but superblast is still like 80 percent ff turbo plus. Also.. its asicsgrip now, not aharplus. That is a very welcomed upgrade
@@ZenDao_85 Amen, you are on point. I just hope its not "that" much firmer and that it get soften up a lot. Because the OG was too much of a brick to me.
I bought the OG last month, just a few days away from the news of superblast 2 dropping. Can you imagine how I felt? Lol. But thanks to your video, I think I'm not gonna miss anything that much. And yes I understand that "floating" feel that you mentioned. The OG just shines when I take it for a tempo long run.
I was hoping in a smaller stack high with the new version, I think 45mm is too much.... Why are you calling the old one "Superblast OG"? I never heard this name before... only "Superblast". 🤷♂ Thank you for the review.
It is now the OG as there’s a newer one. Before the second version you didn’t need to say OG as it was the only one. In the same way that world war 1 only became known as that AFTER the start of world war 2.
I just bought my Superblast last month at full price! Haha Was about to buy the Novablast 4 because of all the positive reviews I saw on it but upon trying it and the Superblast, the SB is just on another level.
Any issues on the heel section includes bottom, padding and collar? is this better than Asics Novablast 4, Adidas (Boston 12, Supernova Rise/Prima, SL 2), Saucony (Endorphin Speed 4, Ride 17), New Balance (Rebel v4 and Supercomp)
Question for you, Alex. Considering how different FF Turbo in the Metaspeed Sky/Edge+ feels versus FF Turbo+ in the Sky/Edge Paris, can you clarify why you felt that the midsole in Superblast 2 didn’t feel that much different from the original? I absolutely love the Sky/Edge Paris and was hoping you would say that the Superblast 2 was as much an improvement over the original as the Sky/Edge Paris was over the Sky/Edge+, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. FYI, I do own a pair of the original Superblast and love it. I have over 700k on it!
Its...firmer? I thought it would be a lot softer, that was the main reason why I skipped the OG, cuz almost everyone I know said "its really firm" Thank you... Then my hope will be the NB SC trainer v3 - but I also heard people say it gets firmer than the rebel v4... hmpf.

Female runner here based in Australia with womens size7.5 .... so far no-one is stocking these shoes any smaller than a womens US8.5 & up Very disappointed
Asics salesman Kofuzi and his gang of reddit normies are no doubt going crazy over this 😂 I'll pass have enough shoes for jogging for now, once the cloudmonster hyper gets discount I'll get that
omg FINALLY! Have to say tho, after waiting so long, I'm pretty disappointed with the very mild changes Asics decided to bring to the table. They shaved 5mm of stack height but only took 3 grams off the weight, and using the FF Blast+ foam for the top layer is arguably just fixing an obviously incorrect design choice from the Superblast 1.
Why? Kofuzi is personable, likeable and has a huge following. This guy doesn’t reply to any comments, isn’t personable at all. Seems very full of his own importance

The review we've been waiting for.
And yet he did not manage to review it at all this time
Dude you gotta talk about the rocks getting stuck on the bottom of the shoes in the OG vs v2. Thx for the shoe review
Hehe good point. Long story short: same amount of rocks in both versions 😂
Thanks for the review. Great job! I also have the opportunity to test the v2 and for me the outsole has changed quite a bit. Whereas the outsole of the v1 was rather slick, on the v2 there are « grooves » which increase a bit the thickness of rubber and improve the grip which was for me one of the weak point of v1.
Tim did you find a greater break in time with the v2? Should we be annoyed with the eco being added or is it nothing to 'worry' about?
I just had a shoegasm...
Glad to see they fixed the holes in the outsoles. No more stone collecting.
But, if you could only pick one Alex? 1 or 2?
I wished they still sold the OG Superblast in the colorway shown in the video. Good review though!
I have more than 600k on my v1, still great and my top choice for longer runs. Neo Vista should be at my door soon, really curious how that works, Alex I guess you will do a comparison.

Ffturbo plus is fimer at first but soften. Wonder how that would change over 100mile.
Wrong, FF Turbo+ is way softer than FF Turbo.
Eager to get this because the OG superblast was restricted to dry days and this outsole if it works better will be welcome.

Interesting ..... but that colour is too young for me (just the midsole). I like the prototype colour but hope they blacken the interior padding.
I have novablast 4, is it worth the upgrade?
Yes.
Love it ❤ the OG is my favorite shoe and this new version looks slightly better. Asics have improved the upper and the sole should be more grippy 🤞
The upper is "more thick and it loose the light weight feeling." does not sound very bad for you?
Please review brooks hyperion max 2
The first superblast was okay but slightly too firm for me so probably skip this one and get the mizuno neo vista instead

The Neo Vista is a fantastic shoe, so comfortable 👌🏻

Hmmm… would be interesting if this SBv2 was compared to a brand new SBv1. I feel that there wouldn’t be much difference…
Good point and indeed my OG Superblast has a lot of mileage on it
Well, after using the OG SB I guess i will just look forward to the New Balance SC Trainer V3
A full bro! one question, Choose one. Superblast 2 Paris Vs Metaspeed Edge Paris Vs Nimbus26
The changes really isn’t the ones I wanted. Iiked the roomier fit anf didn’t havr to size down. The mesh was lightweight and perfect. Why change anything that works?
I tend to agree re the mesh. I liked it a lot and while this new one is good, the previous was just better overall.

Really good informative information. Wasn’t fussed with the OG(nothing special) so it’s a pass for me.
Thanks for the nice comment!
How firm is the Superblast 2 compared to the Boston 12?

Thank you for the review. Sounds like the Superblast 2 is just a deluxe version (mainly in price) of the Novablast 4
even the midsole design is the same with Novablast 4, while the OG Superblast have the same design with Novablast 3
I’m a novablast 4 tr version fan… if this cost just a bit less I would try it ; but as it is just not worth it for me to upgrade from novablast for training and just grinding those miles on the gravel local trails I use .
If you can only buy one shoe and the choices are asic supet blast 2, asic magic speed 4 or new balance supet trainer 3.. which one would you choose?
Thanks for the great content. Please do a review of Super Blast one after all the distance and time you have spent in Super Blast One. How it has changed from out of the box till now.
I find the OG not comfortable for any pace below Tempo.. I was hoping for a softer bouncier shoe good for slow long runs.. Not this one I see 😂
EXACTLY. If this shoe is firmer than SB1 then it's a problem.
I agree, softer and bouncier would have been much more interesting.
You chose the wrong shoes. Superblast is a performance shoe for a speedier workout. You should get novoblast or nimbus.
I wear US12-US13 , US.12.5 is ideal but SB2 is sold out in that size so I ordered US13. Hope it will be good and worth the huge price.
Seems to be the perfect upgrade to the og superblast... More comfortable and breathable upper, better outsole, ff turbo + midsole. It might seem not that different but that's a good thing considering it's a favorite for a lot of people. Don't fix what's not broken!

Thx for the review,had to go half a size down with v1.
So no need to go down with V2,correct?
True to size?
Correct!
Great review. I wish ASICS would work on colorways!
I actually like this one. What would be your dream colorway of the Superblast 2?
I bought the OG last month, just a few days away from the news of superblast 2 dropping. Can you imagine how I felt? Lol.
But thanks to your video, I think I'm not gonna miss anything that much.

Thanks for your comment. V1 is a jewel and you may get a discounted v2 later on ;-)
Need to wait til the end of the year for a normal plain-coloured design
Which color would you like to get?
@@AlexFilitti Just plain white or black for a start...rainbow off the block is a bit silly after all the colours we've been forced with lately
is that for sure, that those colors will be available? Looking for clean colorways too... not that silly orange, yellow green rainbow things

Hey Alex, would you say it is a bit wider on the forefoot?
Question for you, Alex. Considering how different FF Turbo in the Metaspeed Sky/Edge+ feels versus FF Turbo+ in the Sky/Edge Paris, can you clarify why you felt that the midsole in Superblast 2 didn’t feel that much different from the original? I absolutely love the Sky/Edge Paris and was hoping you would say that the Superblast 2 was as much an improvement over the original as the Sky/Edge Paris was over the Sky/Edge+, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. FYI, I do own a pair of the original Superblast and love it. I have over 700k on it!
Still the original super plastic 1 is the best
how would you compare it to the neo vistas?
Simple word to describe the main differences.
Neo Vista = Slower, Unstable, Softer, Slow Bounce.
Superblast 2 = Faster, Stable, Firmer, Fast Bounce.
What do you think of this versus the Topo Specter 2?
When does it get released?
July 5
Great job.
Thank you
Its...firmer?
I thought it would be a lot softer, that was the main reason why I skipped the OG, cuz almost everyone I know said "its really firm"
Thank you...
Then my hope will be the NB SC trainer v3 - but I also heard people say it gets firmer than the rebel v4... hmpf.
This shoe is not very good what everyone says...the foam is not alive like in prime x for comparison..for me very hard to push on 4.20/km and faster
That shoe has 50mm of stack and 2 plates, also comes in at $300 USD. Tbh, it doesn’t even make sense to compare the two.
I think super plastic one original is the best this like nova blast 4 in design 😕
If the upper is the same as Novablast 4 it would be tragic.
It's "denser" that's really the key word I would say. Hope that makes sense
@@AlexFilitti it is comfortable but not breathable

Puma is a heavily discounted outlet bargain brand. ASICS is not. I love the deviate nitro btw.
But that’s not a daily training shoe. Shoes with plates aren’t daily trainers
The OG was very firm out of the box.
