Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Superblast 2 trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking a versatile shoe that offers both maximum cushioning and elite performance. Its key benefit is providing exceptional comfort and a responsive ride for all training types, competitions, and distances on asphalt and pavement. A potential caveat is its specific focus on neutral runners and its premium cushioning technology may be more than needed for very casual runners.

FAQs

What is the main difference between the Superblast and Superblast 2?

The Superblast 2 builds upon the original by refining the cushioning and upper design for an even more comfortable and responsive ride, while maintaining its core strengths.

Is the Superblast 2 suitable for beginners?

Yes, the ample cushioning makes it very comfortable for beginners, especially for longer runs where impact protection is beneficial. However, it's designed for neutral runners.

How do I know if this is the right shoe for my foot type?

This shoe is designed for neutral runners. If you overpronate (your foot rolls inward excessively) or supinate (your foot rolls outward), you may need a shoe with specific stability features.

What is the heel-to-toe drop?

The ASICS Superblast 2 has a heel-to-toe drop of 8mm.

Can I use these shoes for trail running?

No, these shoes are engineered for asphalt and pavement. The outsole tread is not designed for the varied terrain and grip required for trail running.

How much does the ASICS Superblast 2 weigh?

The ASICS Superblast 2 weighs approximately 249 grams for a men's size.

What is the best way to clean these trainers?

Use a soft brush or cloth with cool water and mild soap to clean. Allow them to air dry naturally, away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

Adjust the lacing using the Wing Fit System. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Consult the ASICS sizing guide if unsure.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness over time.

The midsole foams naturally compress with use. For optimal performance, consider replacing the shoes after approximately 300-500 miles of use, depending on running style and conditions.

Soles feel slippery on wet surfaces.

The AHARPLUS™ rubber provides good traction, but wet surfaces can be inherently slippery. Exercise caution and consider alternative shoes for very wet conditions if needed.

Upper material feels abrasive.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are worn correctly to prevent friction.
