  • The Asics Superblast 2 and Hoka Skyward X are two max stacked, super trainers we've enjoyed running in. These are two pretty pricey shoes that promise to be ones you can use for easy and fast runs and for going long. If we had to pick one though, which would we go for?
    Testers Nick and Mike have spent plenty of running time in both to tell you how they compare and help you decide which of these enjoyable super trainers is the best fit for you.

    Have been running SB1 as my everything trainer and AP3 for races for the last year and it's been great for me. My SB2's arrived this morning so it looks like I'll continue to be a happy chap for the rest of the year (although I hope the wet grip is substantially improved)

    I have both of these shoes and agree 100% with Nick’s comments comparing the two and who might prefer each shoe

    Was able to get a pair of Skyward X online for 120$ so hope i like them

    For my mechanics, the decision is easy. The Skyward X is more comfortable, cushioned and I feel significantly better in recovery in them vs The Superblast after a long run.
    Weight means little to me as their purpose is purely on the long run. I have shoes specifically for workouts or racing.
    If you only want one shoe? That's where the Superblast wins because it has a few more teeth across the differing paces.

    Absolutely loving my SB2 so far but man I wish I could have got them in that colour way as opposed to the Paris colourway (I know I'm not looking a them when running, but still.......)

    Will you compare these 2 shoes with the NB FF Balos?

    200 dollars for an easy run shoe(Skyward) is just not worth it.

      Same goes for the SB, returned mine today. It,s squishy when you pick up the pace.

    Skyward X all day for me. Just couldn’t on with the Superblast. Too firm and awkward (for me)

      Did you use the superblast 2 or the original I've seen early reviews of superblast 2 that say there's my a ridiculous break in time like with the original

    easy one for me....Hoka makes their sizes available in my size 14...Asics are wankers and only go to 13

      @@user-sx8rv5pz7u have the V2 coming, hope ( and read) they are comparable to the Invincible 2's (my favorites) but bit less soft, and with more bounce.
