Prime X 2 totally destroys the Asics Superblast. The energy return from the Prime 2 is on another level. Plus the Prime 2's energy return lasts all the way to the last mile of a marathon and more!
@@matthewtyler4579 117kg here, I run in Boston12 and is incredible, but i heard about the PrimeX2 from heavy runner and they're exceptionnal, they keep their qualities up to 1000km.
If I can corrected my anterior comment(sorry French Créole from Reunion Island) the Prime is for me better, but the Superblast give somerhong not too punchy, but enough to be the One contender of the Prime X2.0.
Prime X strung original is still my favourite. Just fit me perfectly and was so bouncy and fun. I still have an extra pair in the box for when my current ones run out or tread. I have the x2 as well can’t get a good fit in them, lacing is awful. Such a stiff shoe I get major heel slippage.
Sold my Prime X Strung V.1, didn't work for me, felt weirdly unstable although were quick. I love my Superblast V.1 so, for me, would be Superblast V.2 , if either!
Cheers for the review. Could you please do a 'versus' of the Superblast vs Celo X1 vs Prime X Strung. I have the Prime X and would like to know how the other two compare. Which is the best super trainer?
Just looking at them side by side the Prime X doesn't appear to be 5 mm taller in the heel, and indeed runrepeat measures it at about 46 and the SB2 at about 43.
For me they do a different job. Superblast suit long runs where you just want to get the miles in. Prime x really wants to go faster but when you get tired really does help you in those last miles of really long marathon training runs.
My favorite shoes over the last year are Superblast and Prime X Strung 1 and 2. Funny you are doing a comparison on my favorite shoes. I 100% disagree with you guys, I absolutely by far love my Prime X 1 and 2 over the superblasts and I would pick either version of the primes over any version of the superblasts, it’s a no brainer. The prime 1 and 2 are by far and away the funnest shoes I have ever run in. I even run my 5/10k’s races in my prime 1’s. All my personal bests are in prime 1’s. They are way faster than the specific 5/10k shoes put out by Nike Streakfly and Adidas Takumi Sen 9. The superblasts and prime 2 are the best shoes for saving your legs and wear and tear on your knees, back, etc. I agree that the superblasts feel very natural on foot and you don’t notice the 44mm stack height whereas the primes you may feel like you’re walking in squishy heels but the 50mm stack doesn’t bother me a bit. A bonus is I’m only 5’8’’ and 1/4 tall and now I wear my pink superblasts wherever I go and I’m now 5’10’’ 1/2. 😂 I liked the superblasts so much I mainly trained in them with 2 pair in the past year, I wore out a pair of the pink/blue color-way and now im in the orange color-way. I also agree that you can easily go slow or pick up the pace in them. I definitely will get a pair of superblasts 2. My draw back on the prime 2 mainly is they wear out to quickly, I am starting my second pair of them as well. The prime 1’s had a good thick layer of continental rubber while the 2’s the tread is very thin and can easily be worn down to the foam.
I've stopped using the Prime X....I get pain under my foot after runs because it's so stiff due to the double plates.....I can now appreciate more the other plated shoes that aren't as stiff...
I thought it was odd as well. Even if they were similar price points one has a carbon plate and that's different enough for me never to compare them this way
Love the colour of my version 1 superblast but do feel they are massively over hyped, they can beat up the feet which is weird as they feel to fit perfectly with plenty of room. I think the marketing and lack of supply kept the eagerness for people to seek them out. Strung 2 are great fun 🤩
Looks like Adidas shoes are designed with narrower or more focussed purpose. Less versatility so if you had a rotation of two shoes you’d take the Superblast all day or if your keen to minimise plate use then this may sway you. If you have a five shoe rotation or are an adidas aficionado perhaps you’d go Prime X2, which to Adidas credit is wider and better balanced. Credit to Adidas if the Pro 4 is on the money they may end the year on top?!…
Tough to compare these shoes. The weight difference is very different and the Pime X Strung 2 has 2 plates, and the Superblast 2 doesn't. These are 2 very different shoes
I’m a big fan of the Prime X2
PrimeX 2 is just not like anything else. So fun

Love my prime x, but just preordered a super blast , I believe they both have a place , especially for heavier runners (215 lbs )!
220lbs here, plz reply back how the superblast feel 🙏🙏🙏

117kg and the best shoes I own.
Yup, 230lbs and love superblast, novablast 4, NB Sc v1/v2, and alphafly 2, all are great for bigger guys imo!

SB2 for me. 500km++ in my OG superblast. And SB2 Feel Softer and bouncier. Magical shoes. Perfect shoes for me. ❤️
I have not run in the Superblast. But Prime X2 is my favourite of all. It’s so fun. I don’t feel the weight at all. Great review nonetheless.
Prime X strung original is still my favourite. Just fit me perfectly and was so bouncy and fun. I still have an extra pair in the box for when my current ones run out or tread.
I have the x2 as well can’t get a good fit in them, lacing is awful. Such a stiff shoe I get major heel slippage.
hopefully they drop this white colorway of superblast 2 in the us soon. so clean!

Prime X Strung 2 vs Mizuno Neo Vista?
Yea the prime x strung 2 got a bad wrap but its so fun and FAST
For my firtst marathon, which one between adidas and alphafly 3 ? Please help me 😉
For me they do a different job. Superblast suit long runs where you just want to get the miles in. Prime x really wants to go faster but when you get tired really does help you in those last miles of really long marathon training runs.
Early, great review as always

Prime X Strung 1 is the best
Bro comparing one shoe with carbon plate and $100 more than the other is cray cray 😜
I thought it was odd as well. Even if they were similar price points one has a carbon plate and that's different enough for me never to compare them this way
Both are max stack super trainers. It's a reasonable comparison.
Going from PXS v1 to PXS v2 is like going from a McMansion to a cardboard box.
Love the colour of my version 1 superblast but do feel they are massively over hyped, they can beat up the feet which is weird as they feel to fit perfectly with plenty of room. I think the marketing and lack of supply kept the eagerness for people to seek them out. Strung 2 are great fun 🤩
Perfect comment

Credit to Adidas if the Pro 4 is on the money they may end the year on top?!…
Plus better traction in the adidas
Hopefully the superblast 2 arent sweatboxes, my nimbus 26 can be.
Tough to compare these shoes. The weight difference is very different and the Pime X Strung 2 has 2 plates, and the Superblast 2 doesn't. These are 2 very different shoes
Adidas is better at changing your biomechanics and weakening ur legs 😂😂😂
Adidas is far superior shoe than the superblast 2 why even compare them two.
220 euro and no plate, mad 😅
