I absolutely love my Superblasts. Already done 3 Sunday 21k long runs in these, and normally Sunday is hard for me, suddenly Sunday is Funday! 😊
And forgot to mention maybe the best part. Normally I had to rest my legs 2-3 days after long run, but with Superblast I’m ready to go on Tuesdays again 😊
Yeah 100%
this is like when two of your favorite sitcoms, do a crossover episode …excellent, nice job mixing it up
Thank you
This is the best collab since Boy George made a cameo appearance in the A-Team 😄🙌
Thank you sir
😂😂😂
The best collab since The Harlem Globetrotters made a cameo appearance in Scooby Doo.
Nice - what an enjoyable format for a video with the video calls! 😄
I absolutely agree with your take on the Superblast. Great video and loved the inclusion of the BitR and Kofuzi! Keep killing it and releasing great content!
Thank you so much
I believe it is the best video I saw from you. Good structure. Good idea to put the run footage while you read the stats. Maybe also put an overlay for a few secs with the stats. Congrats!
Thanks very much means a lot
Asics guy here. I have 40 km on these, and I agree with you. I would only use this shoe for long runs. I don't find this shoe particularly fast. I will run in my Magic Speeds for faster speeds.😎 These are ridiculously priced, but I am hoping they will last if I only use them once a week for long runs. I also wouldn't use them for a race shoe at any distance. I would go with a race specific shoe with a carbon plate. Thanks for another great review.
Thanks David super interesting to hear your views
In some ways a refreshing review, takes you back to the days when you bought running shoes to run in and not really have a load of different types. Still searching for those to make me run faster.
Well said!
Just on spot as always!!
Thanks again!
Fordy runs the best shoetube channel of 2022! kudos lad from Dublin here.
Thanks so much Martin I really appreciate it!
My issue with the Novablast 3 is that when running my feet slap the ground fast.. I had this also with the Vomero.. Like slapping your foot every step? I am a heel striker so probably the transition from the heel to the forefoot in to fast? Is it the same in the Superblast?
Like for Steve. Thanks for this information about the Superblast. A nice day for everyone.
thank you
Cant get a better colab than Fordy, Believe in The Run and Kofuzi 🤙🏽✌🏽
Thank you
Great video!
The only Asics i have in my running line up are the Novablast 2 and 3.
I really want to buy these Superblast but 2 things are stopping me, the price and colorway, i will wait for discounts and see if Asics give us other colors.
Cheers!
100% wait on both
Got these for Xmas so not tried them yet. Got a slight discount so hoping for good things.. love the vid Fordy.. can’t get better guests
hope they work out and happy xmas!
@@FordyRuns thank you 🤞🏻 Happy Xmas to you and the Fordy family 🎅🏼👍
Well done for calling Asics out on the price, great idea to collaborate with other channels.
Thanks a bunch means a lot
Just in time for Xmas. Thanks for the advertisement Asics!
🤣
Star studded cast today! Would love to see the 4 of you in a chat! That would be one fun and hilarious conversation lol
Thanks Jason! We have been lucky enough to have both on the podcast but just not at the same time!
@@FordyRuns I definitely saw the BITR episode, that was great, but I don't think I saw the one with Kofuzi! I'll have to find that one!
Great video Fordy. Like the look of the shoe. Superblast or speed 3
Speed 3 is cheaper
Thanks for the call!
Thanks so much for taking the time to help out my channel
Awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Pretty light for such a high stack shoe. I've got new balance sc trainer and although they are nice and soft but it's so heavy and anytime I go uphill it's like having ankle weights on. I might have to try this as I enjoy lighter shoes to train in.
remortgage first
@@FordyRuns ya, I'd only get it if it comes down to $160 or less
well this was fun
I was intrigued by the Superblast but I already have the Prime X Strung and SC Trainer, so I don't need another superstack kind of long run shoe. Also, considering I was able to get the PXS at $150 during the Black Friday sale that Adidas and other retailers had at below $200 and the SC Trainer at below $150 during the sales events in the US, the Superblast at $220 is not at all attractive to me. I may consider it at a discount sometime down the road but not at the full price and with a different colorway. Are clashing colors that make you dizzy the "in" thing for shoe companies to do right now?
BTW, how do you compare the Superblast to the PXS?
Watch later
Moving up in the world with all the celeb running contacts 👍🤣
big week coming bro stand by
This is epic. Brilliant to call the other shoetubers on a shoe that doesn't make sense to you. Well done!
Thank you very much!!
@@FordyRuns The price on these though, $219 USD., ouch. It's almost better to just get a carbon plated shoe for that price.
These or Glideride 3 for long runs? Amazing video!! Congrats
Glideride on a budget ... no budget get these
@FORDY RUNS I got glideride 3 for £108 on black Friday. Very happy with my new long run shoe for my next marathon training block 😀
How does this compare on the long runs compared to the Glideride 3 - more versatile if you want to pick up the pace?
The Glideride is amazing but these are epic but just the wrong price
Best shoetube video, ever!
Thank you!
If I didn’t have the SC trainer I would try this out. Especially considering I can get the first responder discount
There you go
What's stability like? Suspect I'll stick to my Saucony Tempus for long runs and Nike ZoomX Invisible for recovery although they will need replacing at some point!
Invincible!
Not to bad I asked Simon to have a look at my pronation and he said looked ok
Do these still run long in the Toe box, I have a set of v2 not even used em.
Mine fit lovely! I do like a bit of room though
Wow! You got the heavy weights in this video.
We don’t muck about here 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ok now to watch glideride 3 review 😅
Enjoy
Thoughts on this vs Glide Ride 3 for soaking up the longer miles?
These work better at goal pace BUT they are the wrong price
That was my question, I'm confused 😕
@@FordyRuns What about GR3 vs Superblast for CRUISING at a consistent pace for the LONG runs with less work on the lower legs? Talking half marathons up to Ultra Marathons here. Which do you go for?
What’s the difference between these and novablast?
How does it compare to the Asics Glideride v3?
It’s great just the wrong price
How does this compare to the puma deviate 2?
Better
Thnx for calling the price out for what it is.
You bet
Son cool this featuring. I had m'y 3 favorites CZcams Chanel in One vidéo
Those shoes seems so good, but i won't spend more than 200. It's to expensive
NB: sorry for m'y bed english writting but i'm from Switzerland and so french speaker.
Thanks so much Patrick!
When do they come out to australia:)
Hopefully soon
ASICS told me January a while back, but check out Sportitude’s recent video and they say production delays mean likely Feb/March unfortunately.
I’m not sure about the superblast, I thought (considering the stack height) it would be a very soft mushy shoe but instead it’s pretty firm, a bit too firm for me, and it wasn’t too bouncy, I prefer the new balance SC trainer v2 (also 210 GBP is really expensive, 404 in Australia, the retail price in Australia is 320$ which is 166 GBP/Quid so australias got it at a better value, it’s also the same price as the new balance sc trainer
Would only buy if on sale 50% and above
Yep don't pay full price
If it can do long runs, can't it do short runs? Or does that assume that everyone always does their short runs at a significantly faster pace for which the Superblast isn't ideal for? The Prime X does have a better outsole, but it's $120 more then the Superblast haha. Superblast is $280 and the Prime X Strung is still $400 in Canada as of November 2023. For me the big plus according to reviews over the Novablast is it's stability.
Ok, my wife just gave me an ultimatum…..either love my Puma Velocity Nitro 2’s, love my Asics Novablast 3’s, love my New Balance 1080 V12’s, love my Saucony Triumph 20’s, love my Nike Invincible 2’s, love my ………? 😱What’s a shoe loving guy to do?? Ha ha 😁
🤣🤣🤣
If only Asics don't price their shoes that high…🤦🏻♂️😢. I'll stick with the Alphaflys and PrimeX with their discounts for now for my max cushions.
These are just too expensive
@@FordyRuns I really appreciate your consistency on calling out the price. It can be a great shoe, but c'mon Asics, don't gouge your customers like this!
If these were $30 cheaper id get them. However at $200 us dollas i see them as a rip off at full price.
Total rip off I agree
I enjoyed running in these until I tried out the supercomps from new balance. I don't know man, carbon plated shoes are just on another level.
wouldn't u just buy the asic Glideride 3 for £100 instead?
Yep that is the best shoe for long runs BUT this is better at goal pace
I said this in the other channels as well. I think at US$220 it is an overpriced shoe. I can buy Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 at US$225 and use it for all training (speed workouts, long runs) and also race in it. Probably even Endorphin Speed 3 can work as well as Superblast for long runs at US$170.
Yep totally overpriced
Asics got better build quality, though. Also more comfortable. The nimbus 25 knocks any Saucony out of the water in terms of comfort and build quality. Not that great for higher speeds though.
🦾😉
Hero
asics really need to improve the outsole in this shoe and also in novablast... probably the weakest point on these shoes...
yes 100%
Maybe they've done it on purpose to allow an easy update for a v2 model 🤷🏻♂️
@@paulmulks not sure, because in novablast it is not good since the 1st edition... let's see 😀
@@paulmulks yup. Planned Obsolescence.
Thomas had it right. Novablast and Superblast are similar. Dont waste $220. They are a daily trainer. Nobody is trying to race and PR in these. Spend a little more and get a carbon plated shoe. Wait till they go on sale. Ridiculously overpriced.
Yep it is soooooo expensive and like I say do not pay full price for it
Great review. This is the best review of this shoe I’ve seen.
I want these, just not in that rancid colourway 🤮
agree colourway sucks
Thumbs down for the clickbait thumbnail.
whats clickbait about this?
the color of the shoes @@FordyRuns
