ASICS Superblast 100 Mile Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 ส.ค. 2024
- How has the Asics Superblast performed over the past 100 miles during marathon training? In this video I am going to tell you why the Asics Superblast is one of the best marathon training running shoes!
Just got my third pair! Freaking amazing shoe for daily training!
Glad you like them!
I've just bought these I've the novablast 4s and I've heard these shoes are outstanding!! Will go along nicely with my X2 strung for training for Manchester marathon
Just bagged a pair of Superblasts as Sportsshoes had a 25% Easter sale on.
Still not cheap, but £150 ish is far more reasonable. Ordered Thursday and arrived good Friday!
Just done nearly 12 miles in them and really impressed, calves are hammered at the moment and they were fine on the run and after.
Felt great at our 10ish min/mile steady pace and ran around 8:30's for the last few miles and they're even better.
Looking forward to getting a serious long run in them
Such a good shoe
I did exactly the same and took a punt on these at that price. Would’ve usually ordered via ASICS to take advantage of the 90 day trial but all were out of stock. I went true to size and wore a pair of socks I’d not worn before and my god did my feet blister up… however… switched socks to Ingingi toe socks and this now my BEST shoe in my rotation. I am blown away by it, as Fordy says, it’s a sweet ride, even across elevation it laps up the k’s. Exec summary then, it took a while to break in but will certainly grab another pair when I see another 25% discount.
The Superblast & Triumph 20 are the top shoes in my rotation!!!
that there are two sweet sweet rides
If you're gonna pick a daily trainer between these 2, what would you pick
@@ericatarnate7635 The Superblast!!
@Eddie Kelley thanks for the reply. I just got them! Ran with them yesterday!
Managed to pick mine up for about £165 on discount here in Australia, first run was a long run workout with a couple of 5km blocks at marathon pace, the shoe is great just disappears on the foot and leaves the legs feeling great, the snappiness from the foam is surprising too, if I didn’t know better I would’ve thought there was some kind of plate in the shoe
Where did you buy them from in Australia?
Totally agree.
I spend lately most of my runnings in these 2 fantastic shoes. Superblast and Prime X Strung.
For training I'm starting to think I don't need any other shoe.
Maybe not even for my PBs on slightly longer distances.
Do you really think it's worth the price charged?
@@maikelmetzker No, I purchased them on discount at 209 €. On the other hand, do you really think that any shoe is worth 250 € (all racing shoes) or Alphafly 2 is worth 300 €?
@@pensiveape6184 Certainly not.
@@maikelmetzker But it's excellent shoe, at least for me. Maybe it's worth waiting to get them with some better discount. For me certainly it's far better shoe than the trainers like Novablast, Nike Invincible, Saucony Tempus etc. You can pick up a peace with ease like with any other super-shoe, but on the other hand, when my legs are beaten up I still can move with not too much effort, due to rocker and fantastic foam.
Again, is it worth so much money? No. Is it great shoe for me? Yes.
On the other hand, don't spend so much money just because I did. You can enjoy your runnings in any shoe you already have. Plus it's not great time to waste money on something we don't necessarily need.
@@pensiveape6184 Thanks for the advice!
I went half a size down (like Novablast 3) but here I need to use thin socks because they are not as wild as the Novablast 3. They are a million times better than the Novablast 3. More stable, more bounce.. No foot slapping.. I use the Novablast 3 now just for recovery runs because the foot slaps makes my foot swell after about 10k.
They are incredible
The nova is slappy when you drag a heel even a little!
@@paddywiggle I really don't think that the forefoot slapping is good for the foot. I don't have any pains but I feel that I need to loosen and loosen the laces alot after about 10k... No pains after the run or during but the foot stays a bit swollen for a while after the run.. I also had the slapping in the Vomero 16 but I had the air pod in one foot go flat after a few runs so don't know if it would make the forefoot swell as well.
Such a good review. Price turned me off from this, but holding it in store, the foam and shoe felt great in hand. I'm sticking with novablasts until the price on this comes down.
thanks Tony!
I agree!
I finally ordered a pair today, $200 is still a bit high for these, but I have got to try them out after this review. Thank you, you"re one of my favorite running content creators.
Thanks so much I really appreciate it
How you liking them?
@@therangersinger Hi there! I have about 100 miles on them, they are very comfy, soft, but not too soft, yet pretty responsive. The only thing I don't like about them is they are huge and I still haven't gotten over the feeling that I am wearing a couple of cruise ships on my feet.
@@gregruns thank you for the response. Yeah they look like canoes, have a pair on order for my birthday. Can't wait.
@@therangersinger You will enjoy them, let me clarify further about the size of these...to me personally, they LOOK big, they do not feel big for heavy at all, as a matter of fact, after the first couple of miles in, I don't even think about them, and that is what I want as a runner. Happy runs!
I’d already decided that this is the shoe il be buying next. Think it’s versatile as well. Can definitely see me doing slower recovery type runs with that cushioning.
They are so good
finally got mine, found them for 129 euros sitting in a store, amazing deal... best deals online are around 190 euros
yeaa definitely enjoy n forgiving type of shoes
Like the Prime X Strung.
Love the SC Trainer.
I am sure I would like these, too.
SuperBlast as nice as the NB?
Perhaps....
US reduced the price from $220 to $200. I like them for long runs even if I’m not picking up the pace. Just a nice light long run shoe
Indeed, they did. I think they had too many shoes on stock to sell at that price.
@@TolunayOrkun nah, they are sold out on wholesale all sizes every color so that wasn’t it.
i run the clasic marathon in athens with the superblasts ...............super
Even though I don’t speak proper English, I think my running style and preferences are similar to yours. I seem to agree with a lot of your shoe experiences more so than the other shoetubers.
that means we rock
@@FordyRuns BTW, great hearing you on kofuzi's podcast the other day 👊💪🏃🏻♂️
Price is a major turn off but the feedback and reviews are incredible! Another contender for London next year. My goal pace is 10mm. Worth a costly punt??
Will buy next year.
Hey Fordy…always enjoy your reviews! You and other reviewers say the Superblast is best used at marathon pace. I’m not sure what your MP is these days, but would I get the most out of this shoe doing 8:30 miles or is the magic unveiled at faster paces? The price tag is scaring me off a bit, and I wonder if I should stick with my Novablast 3’s for my MP runs. Cheers!
Most of my runs are 7-10 min pace depending on the day and run. It’s been great at those paces
Totally with you - meaningless when these tubers say MP or 5k pace or whatever, tell us what it is!
Most of my shoes are 2E and I find the Superblast to have poor lockdown despite using the runner knots. Have experimented it with different socks but no sign of improvement. I reckon the issue lies in its upper eyelet or the tongues were sliding all over the place due to its thin laces. I'm surprised non of the reviewers have highlighted this...
Straight out of the box, its midsole felt stiff. The FFBlast+ helps mellow its rigidity. I imagine it needs a break-in period?
It’s interesting…Kofuzi has a video on the new Nimbus 25 where he says to pair it with the Superblast using the Nimbus 25 for easy runs and long runs and the Superblast for speed work and races.
He changes his stance a bit on his 100m review and pretty much says it’s become great for long dist or marathon training at mar pace. Nimbus may be good for easy as well as long runs but not at marathon pace.
@@sachakopa7964 cool. Thanks. Didn't know. I've been using those 2 shoes just like that. The Superblast is a great shoe. The Nimbus 25 is a great easy day and long/easy run shoe. Honestly.....I think the Superblast does everything well. IMHO.
@@davidgunther1282 Cool. I’ll probably pick up a pair of the Superblast in the near future.
Interesting review. Superblast or hyperion Max??? This is the question... for me. Like to Fordy. A nice day for everyone. 🌞🏃🌞
Superblast all day long
@@FordyRuns Ok. 👍
I have been using the Alpha Fly 1 and Adios Pro 3 ( and thinking of adding endorphin pro 3 into the roatation as a trainer) for my long easy/ medium paced runs 18 KM plus - in what ways would the super blast be better - i was thinking a daily trainer 5- 18 KM for medium pace runs and easy runs? Is there a disadvantage to training with plated as opposed to the well cushioned plated shoes i am currently using ? Sorry Long Question!
Talking about these huge shoes, I'm really looking forward to the new balance sc trainer v2, it looks it will be much lighter... and probably the price here in Europe will be around 220 euros too (In the US it will e 180 dollars I guess)...
@@davidrosenthal5795 yep... I love the rc elite V2… but didn't try their latest shoes yet
lets see hope you are right
Hard to find in the US. If it is like the Novablast but better I’m all in
This shoe is sold out in a lot of places. I have seen another colour that is also sold out. Hopefully they make another run of them.
fingers crossed
Just bought these. I have a generous thumb width in the length but locks down ok in the heel and midfoot. Not sure if I should have sized down or not? First run it felt ok but subconsciously I'm aware of the extra length.
for long run, you prefer Superblast or GL3?
I am a non elite 5km runner. Have been wearing Endorphin Speed since version 1. Now that I'm on Endorphin Speed 3, I find it comfortable but lack of 'pop'. Added Endorphin Pro 3 to my rotation and still not getting the 'pop' I once experienced with Speed 1 & 2. Would you recommend adding Superblast to my rotation even though I am not training for marathon yet?
Its a brilliant shoe but i was a little underwhelmed after my first few runs. After 30 miles im fully aware they need at least another 30 to break in. Still waiting for it to happen but a little underwhelmed. My endorphin speed 3 ride much better
I need help i seem to have a problem with the trainers I currently own after about 2km I get fuzzy feet like numbness in the toe box what's going on? I also suffer with joint issues lower back and hip pain what's your recommendation for myself. Love the channel
looks great, I had get rid of the nimbus 25 due to a narrow toebox. i have a wide foot. will this have the same problem or doe it have plenty of room in the toe ?
Any other shoe you recommend with a wide toebox?
Simillar to the Speed 3?
Fordy, I allready have racing shoes. But not dedicated longruns marathon trainer now. But if just one of the affordable maraton trainers, would you choose Novablast 3?
Yep but have a look at the Glideride 3 it’s a tank
I agree with Fordy. I own the nova blast 3s and glide ride 3s. I love the nova blasts for daily miles and I quite enjoy them for marathon pace work. But whenever I go over 10 miles i also reach for the glide rides. They eat miles,outsole is better than the nova blasts so they will last you longer. Love the rocker feel in them to.
@@FordyRuns Thanks!
Would you recommend these for half marathon training?
Yep
That thumbnail color isn’t out yet! You sit on a throne of lies!!! Fun video as always
I do my bad 🤣
The price is an insult to consumers. A daily trainer that costs over $225 is an aberration the shoe industry is going to try and make normal.
🦩
So basically - go buy a Saucony Endorphin speed instead… save £50 and still get a better shoe for your money 🤣😂🙈🙊🙉
Speed is not nearly as protective and forgiving as the Superblast. I like my speeds but they are my go fast trainer. Superblast will be a better daily choice for many. Running is a cheap hobby, compared to most other hobby’s so buy whatever shoe you want.
hahahahaha
Meh. Overpriced shoe made with over hyped EVA foams that no one should be buying in 2023. There's no reason whatsoever for anyone to buy a shoe that is EVA when PEBA exists.
I only run with Superblast since I bought it. It is just amazing and I’ll buy again if necessary (outsole wear).
Asics has not used EVA in any of its shoes including this one for ages.
Sounds like the reasoning for sell off in stock
ASICS uses their own version of Peba it’s just not using the brand PEBA definitely not an Eva
@@ser1ification me as well amazing shoe.
