Product Information

Full details

The ASICS SuperBlast 2 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning and energy return to enhance their performance and reduce fatigue on longer runs. While offering an incredibly bouncy and responsive ride, some users may find the high stack height a departure from more traditional, ground-feel shoes. Key features include a dual-layer midsole with FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning for a softer, lighter, and bouncier experience, and a trampoline-inspired outsole for added propulsion.

FAQs

Who is the ASICS SuperBlast 2 designed for?

The ASICS SuperBlast 2 is designed for adult runners seeking maximum cushioning, high energy return, and a bouncy feel, particularly beneficial for long-distance running, tempo runs, and recovery runs.

What is the main difference between FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning?

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO is a softer, more sustainable foam, while FF TURBO™ PLUS is a firmer, more responsive foam. The SuperBlast 2 uses a combination of both to achieve a balance of softness, lightness, and exceptional bounciness.

How do I clean my SuperBlast 2 trainers?

Gently clean with a soft brush and mild soap with cool water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

Can I use the SuperBlast 2 for trail running?

No, the SuperBlast 2 is designed for road running and general training. Its outsole and construction are not optimized for the demands of trail running.

What is the expected lifespan of the SuperBlast 2?

The lifespan varies based on usage, running style, and terrain. Generally, running shoes are recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles (500-800 km) or when cushioning and support noticeably diminish.

Does the shoe require a break-in period?

While many runners find them comfortable out of the box, like most running shoes, a short break-in period of a few easy runs can help the shoe adapt to your foot and gait for optimal performance and comfort.

Is this shoe suitable for heavier runners?

Yes, the ample cushioning and advanced midsole technologies make the SuperBlast 2 a suitable option for heavier runners looking for enhanced shock absorption and comfort during their runs.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking noise

This can sometimes occur due to trapped moisture between midsole layers or from friction. Try airing the shoes out completely. If it persists, a light powder under the insole might help.

Reduced bounce or cushioning feel

The midsole foam may need a break-in period. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry. Over time, cushioning may naturally decrease with extensive use.

Foot discomfort or rubbing

Check lacing for tightness. Ensure you have the correct size and width. Consider using different socks or exploring aftermarket insoles if the issue persists after a break-in period.

Outsole wear is faster than expected

The SuperBlast 2 is optimized for road running. Frequent use on abrasive surfaces or for non-running activities may accelerate outsole wear. Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional cushioning for comfort on long runs.
  • High energy return reduces fatigue and enhances performance.
  • Lightweight design for a nimble feel.
  • Responsive and bouncy ride encourages faster paces.
  • Durable construction for extended use.

Cons

  • High stack height may feel less stable for some runners.
  • May have a longer break-in period for optimal feel.
  • The pronounced bounce might not suit runners preferring a minimalist feel.
  • Premium features may come at a higher price point.
  • Specific sole compound may wear faster on abrasive surfaces if used for non-running activities.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS SuperBlast 2 trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have selected the correct size for a comfortable fit. Proper lacing is crucial for performance and comfort; ensure the laces are snug but not so tight that they restrict circulation.

Compatibility: These shoes are designed for road running and general athletic training. While durable, they are not intended for trail running with rugged terrain or for court sports that require lateral support.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cool water with a soft brush or cloth. Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the shoe materials and construction.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
