Outfitter's Note: 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 Superblast 2 transforms your run from feeling ordinary to super.
The Superblast 2 was designed to give you the most responsive and energized experience among ASICS’ cushioning shoes. It features an ultralight construction combined with a new dual-layer midsole that integrates FF BLAST TURBO™ cushioning, ensuring a soft and bouncy ride.
In our ASICS Superblast 2 review, shoe reviewer Heather said, “It somehow manages to feel both soft and firm at the same time. I feel connected to the ground while also feeling like I have miniature trampolines on my feet. It’s bouncy and exciting to run in without feeling out of control. I look forward to my long runs with this shoe underfoot.”
Details:
- Upper: An asymmetrical mesh upper improves airflow to help your feet keep cool. The gusseted tongue keeps your midfoot secure and reduces sliding.
- Midsole: The midsole combines FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning, also found in the ASICS Metaspeed racing models, to deliver a lightweight and highly responsive running experience.
- Outsole: The ASICSGRIP™ outsole improves durability and responsiveness, giving you excellent traction and stability during your runs.

Buy These Now!
These shoes look great and feel great. They fit my narrower toe box perfectly and they really do make me feel faster! I did weeks of research before I decided what second pair of shoes to buy, and I’m so happy I ended with these. I wanted something that could be used for pretty much anything, including racing my upcoming half. The sizing was off a little for me, the sizing for women wasnt exactly 1.5 sizes smaller, it was 1 size for me so I ended up having to exchange, but not a big deal.

Bouncy and plenty of cuship
Not a plated shoe runner, so this was a great option. Stable and excellent midsole cushion, excellent for long runs on tired legs and up tempo runs.

Great shoe. But had them two weeks. And now bottom rubber is coming apart.
