Hello Heller I bought these shoes and used them for the first time in a race the very next day. I broke them in during the race, and they were bouncy, responsive, and propulsive. They can handle both slow and easy runs. I tried them on a 32km race, and throughout the run, I felt protected. They supported my high arch well during the entire race. Even when I encountered uneven terrain, including unmetalled roads (also known as gravel roads or dirt roads), they felt protective. The bounce protected my legs, calves, and other parts of my legs.
ever since I picked up my Superblast OG for the first time, they have been my undisputed favorite running shoe of all time. Hard to think they could make them better but hey: Im certainly willing to find out! I now feel that Emily and I have similar shoe preferences, so now you have become my trusted "shoe guru" (so to speak). Thanks for the video, and I'll share my findings once I get my feet running on the SuperBlast2 :)
Probably I will only get this one if my OG Superblast gets damaged or destroyed. But since the OG Superblast is built like a tank, I don't think I'll be getting the 2nd version anytime soon. The FF Turbo is one of my favorite shoe foams and for me I don't see the upgrade to the Turbo+ as a significant upgrade. Thank you for the review. 😊
You’re absolutely correct that you can run a marathon in it, Kofuzi ran CIM in super blast one a few years ago, and he said it felt great. This may be a possible marathon shoe for bigger runners.
I find myself listening to Kofuzi less he’s become a shill for all the shoe companies. Like listening to Emily, BITR and Fordy lately they seem to give a more honest and balanced review.
@@muscfiorentina I find myself listening to FOD Runner more so because he at 90 kg weight he is very similar to me so his feet and force that he’s putting into a shoe will be more similar to me than somebody of a Kofuzi or a SJD body type. BITR is fine. All of them are fine but I generally only find Robbe interesting.., he can tell a story, and isn’t a half bad interviewer.
I'm not allowed to have an opinion on the Superblast bc I didn't start running until 2023 and they've BEEN SOLD OUT IN EVERY SIZE AND COLOR 😭😭 I've really wanted to try them though so I'm going to try to get my hands on the 2's!
I’m not a fan of novablasts, feels like a clunky transition through my stride (like my toe is slapping the pavement). Big fan of shoes with rockers like the glideride, Mach 4, etc. Do you think I would like this shoe or is it too similar to novablast?
Good question. Very different rides. Cielo is going to feel a lot crazier underfoot with a more “wow” vibe, if that’s what you’re looking for I’d say go Cielo. If you want something that feels awesome but more practical I’d go SB2
great review! I know you said true to size but can I ask if your size in superblast is the same as your novablast? Ive worn several Novablast 2's and 3's but not the superblast. Thank you!
Hello, great channel! I found it while looking for different opinions about shoes. Thanks for the knowledge you share. I would like to ask for your opinion: Asics Superblast 2 vs New Balance Elite V4 - which of these shoes would you recommend to a 90 kg muscular man who is starting preparations for a half-marathon. I currently have a New Balance Elite V3 and I'm looking for a second pair of shoes. I want one for longer runs, the other for fast/interval runs. I can have both Superblast 2 and NB Elite V4 at exactly the same price, so I'm considering which one to choose.
Great job, as always, Emily. I could never get my hands on the OG so looking forward to trying this one. Did Asics mention at all if this one would come in a wide like they did with the NB4?
Sounds odd but for £200 Which would you pick? Superblast 2 Asics metaspeed edge Paris?? I have a voucher for asics and need a race shoe and a long run shoe Can’t decide lol
Thanks. Have it, but wouldn't use it for daily trainer. Novablast 4 is cheaper, and has a better outsole for grip. Novablast 4 can do more training runs, as I won't use the Superblast 2 for Fartleks or strides. Can do both with the Novablast 4. It's a great long run shoe and recovery shoe. I guess rich people can waste their money on it for daily training.🤷🏻
Hey Emily! Would you recommend it for a first-time marathoner (hence, aiming to finish not break records, in the 4:45 to 5:00 hour range), vs a carbon plated option? 😅 BTW, it will be this year’s NYC TCS marathon 😅
Hey that’s awesome!!! Yes I’d absolutely recommend this shoe for a marathon. This shoe has response, protection and comfort. You’ll see people say this shoe isn’t “race legal” because of the stack height but for non elites it doesn’t really matter.
Sounds odd but for £200 Which would you pick? Superblast 2 Asics metaspeed edge Paris?? I have a voucher for asics and need a race shoe and a long run shoe Can’t decide lol
That’s a tough one If you want a full blown racer I’d go MetaSpeed edge but if you’re looking for something with a little more versatility, go superblast
I think you like this shoe 😂. I’ve never been able to wear ASICS before as they were too narrow. Now I’ve just bought a pair of Nimbus 26 and I’m wondering whether I can try any other ASICS shoe… You said it was narrow in the mid foot…..how does it compare with the width of the Nimbus? I currently have a pair of NB 1080v13 for my easy days but tbh, they feel boring to run in. Would the SB2 be a good alternative?
I wish I could run in Superblast & Novablast but if I do anything over 5 miles I get blisters. Tried different sizes and shoe/sock combos and every anti-chafe out there 😩 I think heavier runners have an issue with the soft foams (6’2 220) Any other tall/muscular/heavier people have similar issues 🤷♂️
I have had to replace laces on half a dozen running shoes in the past few years. Some of the stock laces are crap, and on the Novablast 3 one of the laces was several inches shorter than the other one. 😮
@@cokomattekudassai I find the SuperBlast midsole to be too firm . The Balos midsole is much more comfortable and bouncy . I’d compare it to the SC Trainer V2 only with a better fitting upper , for me . We all feel the ride of the different shoes differently, but for me I’ve been picking up the Balso for all my long runs in my marathon plan .

LETS GO! I do really hope the outsole is better in wet conditions. It looks like it. I also hope the upper holds better because as you aid you really had to tighten the laces and at about 230 miles in the OG i have developed a hot spot while wearing thinner socks which is weird..
Epic run footage in this one! Love that music choice. The SB2 is sounding pretty good... Been really enjoying the ride of Adidas SL2 lately. The Superblast would probably be a good long run companion to round things out.
The only reason why I didn’t pull the trigger on these when they first came out is that the website said that they are for under pronators. How do you think that they perform for somebody who has a little bit of over pronation?
I like the Superblast 1, and I get a lot of use out of it, but I wouldn’t say I love it. I don’t think it’s the GOAT shoe that a lot of enthusiasts make it out to be. I was thinking I was going to pass on the update. The shift from FF Turbo to FF Turbo+ might be a game changer though…
Totally agree. The SB 1 is the most overrated shoe. Endorphin Speed 3 was light years better. The FF Turbo+ has me intrigued too. Love the Edge and Sky Paris.
@@mattkilloran The Magic Speed 4 is the better comparison for the Endorphin Speed 3. The Superblast is more versatile and is a good recovery day shoe too. I'm not going to take the Speed 3 for a recovery day...
Great review. I love my Novablast 4 and can't wait to get a pair of Superblast 2. NB 4 has some bounce, but it would be nice to go to the next level and the fact they made FF Blat Turbo+ lighter and softer, yet bouncier is a dream come true. As for the price it's the same as SB1, $200 in USA.
These sneakers aren't good for you. Not enough support on the inside part of the foot and it makes your knees buckle... They might be good for everyday walking, but running? Nah
I have not gotten new shoe for awhile as I have not been running, but the SB2 would be the shoe I think I will get. I wanted to try other shoes, but this just shows that the SB1 and SB2 are going to be what I stick with.
You didn’t try v1? You should have so you can feel the difference in comparison to v2. I believe ASICS has occupational discount program that can drop the price by 10-25 percent if you happen to fit the occupation they require.
I was loving the review until the end when she says the shoe is worth it at any price under 300. I know influencers get shoes for free but I wish they considered value in their reviews for the 90% of us without unlimited funds. Would this really be worth $300 when there is great trainers for $140 like Mach 6, or a very good supertrainer for $180 in the Mizunos?
I mean I was kinda being sarcastic about the 300 bucks.. I’m well aware of the fact that i get shoes for free and obviously $200 is a lot to spend on a shoe. But if you have the funds, and you’re looking for a shoe like this then I think it’s worth it over the Mach 6 and Neo Vista. If you’re looking to spend less, those are other great options but in this video I’m focusing on the SuperBlast. I don’t say a shoe is worth it unless I would put my own money behind it.
I sized down half a size on the original as I thought the toe box was so long ... Should I do same on this version or go back to my original 10.5 which I use in most shoes ... Would rather have room in toe box though as I find some size 10 shoes are a bit tight on my small toes

Bigger runner here, and yes I ran Grandma's last year in it. My feet loved every mile of it.
Seems like a nice update. Hope the availibility of the shoe will be better as well.

I've really wanted to try them though so I'm going to try to get my hands on the 2's!
Preordered 😎 also bought the Endorphin Pro 3's on sale for like $140. These next 3 races to end the year should be fun!
Loved v1 so I had to cop 2 pair on the preorder!
I can't believe I preordered a shoe.
Me neither, whatever were you thinking!
the running part is insane tho!! mesmerizing..haha
how is the flexibility ??? is it stiff like the first version?
Yes similar
already have my pair pre-ordered!
How does the sizing compare to Nobleblast 4?
I’m not a fan of novablasts, feels like a clunky transition through my stride (like my toe is slapping the pavement). Big fan of shoes with rockers like the glideride, Mach 4, etc. Do you think I would like this shoe or is it too similar to novablast?
I think the ride of this shoe is way more consistent than novablast
Pre-Ordered ! Lets go
If moneys not an issue, what will give me more fun to run in, this or the cielo x1?
Good question. Very different rides. Cielo is going to feel a lot crazier underfoot with a more “wow” vibe, if that’s what you’re looking for I’d say go Cielo. If you want something that feels awesome but more practical I’d go SB2

Yes same size but SuperBlast is unisex! So I wear a means size 9
Also will you be trying the adizero sl2. It’s an amazing shoe
Potentially!
How did you manage your over pronation with them? Would you recommend them for a mild over pronation? Thanks!

Is there a double digit “break in “ mileage needed for this shoe, as with v1? Or is this ready to go out of the box?
Out of the box for me!
Great job, as always, Emily. I could never get my hands on the OG so looking forward to trying this one. Did Asics mention at all if this one would come in a wide like they did with the NB4?
They did not! But if I hear something I’ll let you know!

great review
Your SB1 didn't look like you ran much in it!?
I did! I got like 150 in it but hard to get more than that with all the other shoes I run in and not running super high mileage weeks
Oh yes it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Only concern could be all those vent’s holes could mean less durability to the upper. Well I love the og and hope the go on sale when v2 gets out.
Nice soundtrack ❤
I wear a size 8 for the V1, should I go true to size for the V2? Or go half a size down?
I think it’s true to size
I wish I could run in Superblast & Novablast but if I do anything over 5 miles I get blisters. Tried different sizes and shoe/sock combos and every anti-chafe out there 😩
I think heavier runners have an issue with the soft foams (6’2 220)

Ah damn bummer!
Hittin us with that psy trance.
How many miles did you get out of your SB1s?
150 maybe? Theyre still going strong hard for me to get a ton of miles because of other shoes I have to review
Good Stuff

I doubt people want to try v1 when they get v2. 😅
You mentioned this would be a nice shoe for Marathon. In theory the shoe is "ilegal" for races. Do you think this matters for non-elite runners?
Yeah I did forget about that but I think for non elites in a marathon no one really cares. Ironman is more strict though
How does this compare to the Rebel V4

I have a really narrow foot so hard to say but you might be a little snug through the midfoot
