Review

Full text

The ASICS Superblast 2 is a long-distance trainer that delivers near carbon-plate performance without a plate. FF Turbo foam plus a 44.7mm stack balances 247.5g of low weight with generous cushioning—ideal for big training mileage.

Performance

No plate, but FF Turbo foam gives near-carbon propulsion and lasts longer. The 44.7mm stack absorbs long-run impact well, suiting LSD and daily high-volume training.

Comfort

The upper fits well with a thicker tongue that doesn't press the instep. It runs snug—wide feet should choose the wide version. Firm out of the box, it hits its stride after 20-30km.

Who it's for

Runners wanting a 'run far without trashing your legs' trainer that handles both daily paces and long runs.
