FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the ASICS Superblast 2?

The ASICS Superblast 2 is designed for maximum cushioning and high performance, making it ideal for all types of training and race distances, especially long runs on asphalt and pavement.

Who is the target audience for this shoe?

It is targeted at adult runners, specifically those seeking a neutral shoe that offers exceptional comfort and protection for long-distance running and competitions.

How does the cushioning compare to other ASICS shoes?

The Superblast 2 features a combination of Flytefoam Turbo+ and Flytefoam Blast+ ECO, providing a high level of responsive cushioning that is superior in both comfort and energy return for long distances compared to many standard trainers.

Can I use these shoes for speedwork or tempo runs?

Yes, despite the high cushioning, the shoe is relatively lightweight and responsive, making it suitable for faster paces and tempo runs, although it may feel less nimble than a dedicated racing flat.

What is the weight of the ASICS Superblast 2?

The shoe weighs approximately 249 grams, which is considered lightweight for a shoe offering this level of cushioning.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The heel-to-toe drop is 8mm.

How should I clean my ASICS Superblast 2 trainers?

Clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Are these shoes suitable for trail running?

The Superblast 2 is optimized for asphalt and pavement. While they might handle very light, hard-packed trails, they are not designed for technical trail running due to limited grip and protection.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit on one foot

Adjust the lacing pattern on that specific foot. Try a runner's knot or a different lacing technique to alleviate pressure points.

Cushioning feels too soft initially

The Flytefoam Turbo+ and Blast+ ECO cushioning may require a short break-in period. Go for a few shorter runs to allow the foam to adapt to your stride.

Debris stuck in the outsole tread

Use a soft brush or a toothpick to carefully remove any lodged stones or debris from the outsole grooves.

Upper feels warm during runs

The shoe is designed for breathability, but in very hot conditions, this is normal. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional comfort due to advanced cushioning technologies.
  • Versatile for various training runs and race day.
  • Lightweight for their cushioning level, promoting efficiency.
  • Durable construction for long-distance use.
  • Optimized for road running surfaces.

Cons

  • Higher price point may be a barrier for some runners.
  • Substantial cushioning might feel less responsive for sprinters seeking minimal ground feel.
  • Primarily designed for neutral runners; may not suit severe overpronators without specific orthotics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The ASICS Superblast 2 requires no specific setup beyond lacing them up. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug yet comfortable fit, allowing for foot expansion during longer runs. The shoe is designed for immediate use out of the box.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Best suited for asphalt and pavement. Can also be used on treadmills and well-maintained, hard-packed trails.
  • Runner Type: Designed for neutral runners. Runners who require significant stability for overpronation might need to consider aftermarket insoles or a different shoe model.
  • Weather: The breathable upper offers ventilation in warm conditions. For very wet or cold weather, consider waterproof socks or alternative footwear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid extreme temperatures.
  • Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating the Superblast 2 with another pair of running shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover between runs.
