First off, it’s blowing my mind to have you in this space, so thank you 🤛🏻 I hear you in the price. But even at the price drop to $200, with its Swiss army nature and the peace of mind I feel like it gives most of its runners, I think you can justify the price tag. $185 would be perfection though, no doubt about it.
@@chris_jonzey retail in japan is 151$ , I got my pair in us10 for 153$ in Vietnam and now second pair in black friday for 133$, and my friend got her pair in us6 for 106$ on sale in Vietnam, for this price they are the best shoes money can buy for me. Gonna wait for the 2nd version😊
Worth every penny for how durable it is and its versatility. It replaces 2 shoes in a rotation. Great for daily miles and long tempo sessions. You’ll be golden with the Superblast and MetaSpeed Series. I logged 200 miles in it so far. The outsole rubber barely has any wear. The FF Turbo foam really came alive close to 100 miles.
I love this shoe so much I bought 2 pairs (cause you know they’re gonna change it at some point). I keep a spare in the box for when you can’t get it anymore. It’s the best shoe I’ve ever put on for daily training.
Hi, Chris. Agree with you regarding everything you’ve mentioned. I bought Superblasts on Indian Independence Day / 15th August and have covered 118km till now in them, the thing is I just feel like I can keep going in them. Truly money we’ll spent even if they were a bit expensive. I love them so much that I might even grab another pair. I’m by no means the fastest runner but I enjoy running in them at all the paces. Anyway nice review and good to know that they hold up pat 400 miles since I intend to use mine till around 1000 Km. Anyway keep going and subscribed. I hope your reach more than 1000 even quicker.

@@abhishekpatel-r1e Hi! I bought the aquamarine ones since they were the only ones available in store in my size. The colour ways you are looking at are new ones and they have been launched recently. Yeas, they are expensive but I got them for 18,500 since I requested the ASICS sales guy to offer me his employee discount thing. They get 1500 off or something like that. Not sure if it’ll work now but it did that time. As far as the shoes are concerned, I’m still using them and have covered 800 kms in them and for me they are the best shoe that I could get that is not carbon plated.

I got them for that price as I requested the ASICS sales guy to use his employee discount and he obliged. You can try it, it might work. I’ve ran 800 kms in them and can’t wait to grab another pair as I’m planning to use them till 1500 km mark rather than 1000 since they still feel cushy and have ample bounce.
Opened up a ‘super last’ name! Just got the shoe, I like the name ‘super blast speed’ for their next trainers, SBS .. Finally bought yesterday, feel like a king in them! Thanks and subbed..
I have Nikes Invincible Run and I use it as my Long/Easy runs especially with that max cushion of zoom x, I get the same sense for the Superblast, I haven't owned one but I'd like to use it next! Thanks for the review, good choice of words!
Superblast is light years better than Invicible. I have them both. Invincible is like running in mud after you've had the Superblast. Every once in a while I will pull the Invincibles out when I want to just go slow. I always get a couple miles in and wish I would have just used the Superblast. They're amazing for every run.
I want to try these. I have the ASICS gel nimbus 25 and the trabuco max 2. Both I’m happy with. I just got a size too small so I’m switching up a size because my toes are bruised and blistered.
Hi Chris... how's the ride/feel compared from the day you first wear them? Any significant changes and how many more kilometers do you think they will last before you retire them? Hehe!
love my SuperBlast, im a stability runner and its good to use them to feel that free speed. asics need to give GT2000 FFturbo, its the best midsole on market for comfort and easy speed.
I don’t like ultra cushioned shoes like the Hoka Bondi 7 or New Balance More V3. I like a little more stability like a Mizuno Wave Rider 26 or On Running Cloudstratus V2. I would try the Superblast if it’s not too much like the More V3 or the Bondi 7.
@@MadLadsAnonymous I wore them to do a HIIT workout fresh out the box. Then I went to go on a run in them. Maybe they broke in during the workout bc I felt they were perfect on my run
@@michaeltran2743 If you don't mind me asking: Do you think the midsole works better for heavier runners? (e.g. over 180) I've read this theory about some other shoes, so curious. But so far the Superblast sounds awesome.
legs felt good after 34km long run yesterday. my only complain is toe box a bit shallow that my big toe nails hurt a bit during and after that run. i hope the upper opens up after some more mileage. it could be because i went half size down but length and width are good, toebox just a little shallow.
I loved them but they gave me blisters on my smaller ball of both feet after a 16mile long run. Likely caused by the center piece of rubber with small gravels stuck between the channels. It’s a design flaw preventing people using them if there is any sort of dirt path in their run. The Novablast 3 doesn’t have this issue. The serious contender for this shoe in my opinion is the Triumph 20 and NB SC trainer, although a little heavier.
Question, you say that this would be good for finishing the race and feeling comfortable at the end, do most racing shoes also do that? Obvs they go faster but do they protect the legs? Similar foams, also very light. I imagine the vaporfly or Endo pro 3 would do a similar thing?
Great question! I think what I mean by that is you won’t find yourself hobbling around as much after a race in the Superblast. The Endorphin Pros will definitely take you the whole way, but I personally would be pushing the pace more in those carbon plate racers, and because of that effort and regardless of the racing foam, my legs would be shot on the end. Hope that makes sense in a round about way. Thank you!
The Superblast. It just offers a little bit of everyone and performs well on all of those asks. The Deviate Nitro 2 is super fun, but they can get stuffy and they require a bit more efficiency from the runner to maintain comfort during the long run.
I daresay, will propably still prefer Sauc. Endo Pro 3. Get the green one with the stronger, non-hole upper. Because the original perforated upper is weak. I ripped my first pair after 800km, half of that on trails and poky fields. If u tie em up really tight, they will tear sooner. Otherwise, ES3 (or any other shoe really) is only better for slow miles. IMO. Pwrun PB is insanely durable, it just gets softer and a tad lazier with time. Not harder, like most foams. 1k miles is realistic. Outsole is not grippy, but it´s durable. Caviat; I am a 58kg runner and I always wanna go fast and far. So the Asics SB may well be better for easy miles, and heavier runners may find PWrun PB too soft. I wonder how long I can contain myself before buying Superblast, tough :=) Question, after 400 miles, does FF turbo harden up any?
Well, I got the Superblast now. I prefer it over EP3 on the hardest and/or longest marathon training runs. For easier long running (with intervals) and light trail parts, EP3 still wins. SB is not so comfortable on low speeds. But the stability creates confidence i never felt before, pushing long and hard and no fear of problems. Uneven surface u gotta look at the ground and always find suitably level landing spots. On very wide shoe like SB, is more likely to hit a bump somewhere on the shoes footprint. I like narrower shoes on light trails. For my heel pounding Marathon, Nike Tempo Next % is clear no. 1. Superblast now the clear second. VF2, EP3 already failed on 42,195, because soft heel. Being 60 kilo runner, I am gonna get 2k kilometres from my SB pair. I know it already.
@@chris_jonzey sweet, I've got 460 on my current pair and honestly...they just won't die 🤣🤣. Have a second pair waiting in the box but I truly believe I'll hit 600 with no issues. And I don't ever take shoes that long but these just still feel fun to run in. Worth every penny especially at $140 with the Asics 30% veteran discount.
I would expect them to hold up just fine. The rubber on the outsole can wear down over time, but it has the same feel, same responsiveness that I fell in love with, and I’m over 420 miles in them. It’s a firm shoe, but the layer of FFBlast+ foam counters that well. Hope that helps!

@@Kaisersozze yeah, I have another 100 miles before the first pair get retired so the 2nd pair will start getting used in like another 2 months or so.

How many more miles do you think you will get out of em ?
I have US 12 in New Balance FF More v 4. Same size in Superblast?
400 miles ! ! !
Have you tried the Nobablast as a training companion for shorter runs ?
Nice review. subscribed
What would you prefer for daily run: Puma Deviate Nitro 2 or Superblast?
The Superblast. It just offers a little bit of everyone and performs well on all of those asks. The Deviate Nitro 2 is super fun, but they can get stuffy and they require a bit more efficiency from the runner to maintain comfort during the long run.
Invincible Run 2 is a great fun running shoe to compare with Superblast.
That shoe doesn’t exist anymore only the 3. Hope the 4 is like the 3
As a brand new runner, Im looking at the novablast 3 and the superblast. If money wasn't a factor, which one would you recommend?
When I started running, usually I ran around 3-5km. I barely ran near 10km. If that’s also the case for you, pick novablast 3.
I daresay, will propably still prefer Sauc. Endo Pro 3. Get the green one with the stronger, non-hole upper. Because the original perforated upper is weak.
