FAQs

What is the main difference between the Superblast and previous ASICS models?

The ASICS Superblast 2 features a unique combination of FF BLAST PLUS ECO and FF BLAST TURBO cushioning, offering an unprecedented blend of softness, responsiveness, and sustainability not found in most traditional ASICS models.

Is the ASICS Superblast 2 suitable for marathon running?

Yes, the exceptional cushioning and high energy return make it an excellent choice for marathon training and race day, helping to reduce fatigue over long distances.

How do I know if the 'Black White' colorway is the right choice?

The 'Black White' (1013A160-001) is a classic and versatile colorway that pairs well with most running attire. The performance features are identical across all colorways of the Superblast 2.

Can I use these shoes for speedwork?

While primarily designed for comfort and daily training, the FF BLAST TURBO cushioning provides enough responsiveness for tempo runs and some speedwork. However, for dedicated track sessions, a lighter, more specialized shoe might be preferred.

What is the expected lifespan of the ASICS Superblast 2?

The lifespan typically ranges from 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, the surfaces you run on, and how you care for the shoes. Pay attention to signs of wear in the midsole and outsole.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the NATURE KNIT upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions, though they can handle light rain.

Troubleshooting

Foot discomfort or blisters

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try wearing them with different types of running socks. Break them in gradually with shorter runs before attempting long distances.

Slipping sensation in the heel

Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure heel lockdown. Ensure the anatomical heel counter is properly engaged with your heel.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time

This is normal wear and tear. Consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles, or when you notice a significant decrease in shock absorption.

Upper material feels too tight or restrictive

The NATURE KNIT upper is designed to adapt. Try lacing them more loosely in specific areas or wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to stretch slightly to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for long-distance comfort.
  • High energy return for a responsive and fast feel.
  • Breathable and adaptive upper for a secure fit.
  • Durable construction for extended use.
  • Suitable for a variety of running paces and distances.

Cons

  • Higher stack height may feel less stable for some runners.
  • Can be heavier than minimalist running shoes.
  • The premium cushioning may come at a higher price point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Superblast 2 arrives ready to wear. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These running shoes are designed for road running. They are compatible with most running socks. While not specifically designed for trail running, the durable outsole can handle light gravel paths.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as this can damage the materials.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can degrade the foam and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or humid environments.
  4. Rotation: For longevity, consider rotating these shoes with another pair if you run frequently. This allows the midsole foam to decompress and regain its properties.
