Over 900 miles in my sb1. Can’t wait to upgrade
@@cali_scruff1697 That's fantastic mileage. Great work.
I love my super blast 1 and its my number 1 shoe (except the asics metaspeed sky paris) cant wait for my super blast 2.... thanks for the review
Just ordered mine after watching your video, should have them tomorrow.
@@andybrown9190 hope you love them.
Great review, I trust your words of wisdom. My sb1 have life in them but I'm going to get sb2 right away!😮
Let me know how it goes for you - interested in your thoughts, and I hope you get from them what I have.
I'm just about to purchase these. Done 600 miles in superblast 1. For me they arnt a fast shoe in a sense of feel compared to a carbon racer. But I use these for marathon training a long side the prime x strung and you can pretty much cover everything between them both.
Great review man. But I haven't understood an j
Important thing. Do you have the same size of SB1 or you went 1/2 size down as a lot of people advice to do? Thanks for your reply
I've gone for the same size. The change in fit isn't big at all, and didn't force me to change the size. I was US10 for both the SB1 and SB2 - all good.
@@theinconsequentialrunner Great. Thank you. I've just ordered a pair of SB2 of the same size (9,5 us) as all the Asics shoes I have and I was afraid to have choosen the wrong size. I don't know the reason why a lot of people size 1/2 down ..... In two days I will discover the fit of this great shoes 🤞🤞🤞
Thanks a lot. 👍
Excellent review, appreciate it.
Is this true to size just wondering?
Had to size down with v1 myself half a size
@@balazsgalambos4458 this one is true to size, they've pulled it back a bit.
You got the shoe so fast!
Yep, I was pretty lucky for sure.
Great to see a NZ kiwi review channel for shoes ...where are you based ? So the only issue I found is the toe box is definitely smaller on this 2 version. I sized down half a size with SB1 and it was perfect but I feel like I'm in between sizes with this one ... I'm pretty sure ASICS will ramp up production with the 4 new colorways due in September so if this size does work out I will go up half a size for next pair. ASICS killing it atm ... Just took my Paris metaspeed edge for a blast a few days ago and they are superb.
@@stevros48 totally agree with you on all that, you're spot on. I've little k's in my Paris Edge, but I've some runs lined up soon to thrash and review them. But as you said, Asics are just killing it at the moment.
Based in Wellington.
Great review!, I have never tried superblast, only Nimbus 25 and I like it the ride and stablility of N25, is Superblast 2 has some stability for my mild pronation on my left foot? and how is the lockdown?.
Great question. The lockdown is good - and adjustment of the laces is easy to get the lockdown that works for you. That said, personally, I've my lockdown on the loose side of things and am comfortable with that. Re the pronation, I think it will be good, but the best way to test is to get onto a treadmill - so find a retailer that has a treadmill and give it a go there - so you can be sure of your purchase. I've the Nimbus 25 also, and I think that these two shoes are a perfect combo. Nimbus of the easiest of days, the Superblast for everything else, and even for racing if someone is running up to 20 mins for 5k. Anything faster, then can then look for a specific race day shoe. Actually, that's thought, before my 100k review, I'll do a 5k race in them and compare them to the Metaspeed Edge (Paris).
Thanks also for the feedback, much appreciated.
@@theinconsequentialrunnerappreciate this, I have a current rotation of the Nimbus 25 and Novablast 4 but just preordered these to add in as my race day shoe for my upcoming half marathon in October and will be. Great trainer leading up to my full marathon in March! Excited to rack up miles in the SB2
I use stability shoes for my recovery and long run but run half marathons and lots of training in the superblast.... They fit in the stable neutral cross category... The 2 needs far less break in time than the 1.... SB 1 was maybe 50 to 60km to break in but these are more like 20km and regardless they are so light but with so much stack ... Best training shoe on the market by far ... ASICS nailed it again
Will this shoe work for forefoot strikers? And being a stiff shoe obviously to accomadate the rocker, will the forefoot start to flex just a little bit over time?
@@jefreywith1f924 great question. I'll talk about in the update, as I try it more, but I think so. It'll work for forefoot, I'm mid foot and it gives me a lot. I do think it'll give more to heal strikers. I'll test and report on the flex too.
@@theinconsequentialrunner
Thank you for your speedy response. I will stay tuned in for your follow up.
I wish Asics would of released a full assortment of colors initially instead of waiting until September. This color combo is to much of a mismatch for me imo.
No flex is stiff shoe ...
how's the width on these - will they accommodate wide footers? thanks!
@@kenken_77 good question. My foot is about average width and the upper feels roomy enough, so I think it would likely suit. Nothing beats trying them on, so I don't think you'd be wasting your time doing that.
@@theinconsequentialrunner thank you..! 🙏
