Outfitter's Tip: this is a UNISEX-sized shoe. Men's sizes are shown — women should order 1.5 sizes below their standard running shoe size. For example: for a women's size 9.5 shoe, order a size 8.
The ASICS Megablast brings the bounce to your runs.
Built for runners who want maximum energy return without limits on pace or distance, this shoe brings together ASICS' bounciest FF TURBO² cushioning with a design that adapts to however you want to run. Whether you're building your base with easy miles or testing your speed on interval day, the Megablast proves that having fun and performing well go hand in hand.
Details:
- Upper: The engineered mesh construction keeps things light and breathable while using at least 50% recycled content. The streamlined design reduces the need for extra overlays, keeping your feet comfortable and unrestricted.
- Midsole: The pinnacle FF TURBO² foam delivers that incredible bounce that makes every step feel energized and fun. Combined with the curved sole design, you'll find yourself conserving energy naturally while experiencing the kind of rebound that makes you want to keep going.
- Outsole: ASICSGRIP technology gives you the confidence to tackle any surface, so you can focus on enjoying your run instead of worrying about your footing.
