👋
Seems like a nice update. Thanks for the review.
Brilliant summary, thanks! My favourite roadies of all time.
The most important change here is the outsole. Superblast is a rock collector 😂
Yessir, I preordered mine! Very excited. Loved the SB1 and had to rotate a bit off them to the Novablast to not wear them down because I loved them so much
.
Where did you preorder ?
@@joshbrock1751 Asics has it, at least in the US
My wife bought a pair of the Superblasts in March for my bday and I finally started using them in June. I love them so far and honestly I like the stiffness of the shoe at slower paces. Maybe I'll look at the Superblast 2 late this year, but I'm also excited to see how the NB Balos turns out.
Great review! I was hoping to see your thoughts on the New Balance Minimus Trail that just came out.
!!
As someone with low flat feet and pronation who is currently doing very well in the Guide 17, how is the Superblasts stability compared to that?
I think Matt liked the Guide 17s as well and might have a clue for me?
I also have the Kayano 30, but something about them is too much for me (softness or the guidance) so the low profile stability of the Guides work great. Hoping I might be able to progress into a stable superfoam shoe like this one!
How does it feel on after uphills? The v.1 was so stiff my feet would be sore from trying to push uphills on long hilly runs (which are my standard routes)
Would love to try either superblast. But no US14😢
Hmm... The foam upgrade sounds nice but will the spring/bounce last as long as version 1? V1 were good for 400+ miles. I've abused the heck out of mine on trails, a Marathon PR, Speedwork, and recovery runs❤
Great point, the initial thoughts might all appear an improvement early on but a change in midsole could likely change the longevity and ride characteristics over time. We all know how much better V1 became with use so will this ride improve or stay the same or decrease with use?
Are they true to size this time? Version one was was 1/2 size too long. Just like the Novablast and most other Asics shoes if you went 1/2 size down they would feel too small.
does this still require a similar break in period?
I believe the Rubber compound on SB1 was actually AHA+, which is a longer lasting rubber, than AHA which is found on Novablast. Q. what is the SB2 Compound anyone? Reason if more luggy, will wear down faster, Saucony did this in their Speed shoes, to reduce longevity. Mine went from over 500 miles to 150.. Between versions. Be warned trust no Brand especially if they change thw name ir tread pattern.
Stand done AHARplus confirmed
Is the sizing the same? I went down a half size in the OG Superblast.
1:14 probably meant 249g?
249g yeah my bad
Would you say it is a bit wider on the forefoot?
Waiting for my shipment 🚚 😬
I'm waiting fo Magic Speed 4 VS Superblast 2 🙏
Hmm... sounds like a weekend project!

Are these ok for a mild pronator?
Hi David.. Many thanks for the video. Just one quick question. Between Superblast 1 or 2 and the Mizuno Neo Vista, which one do you feel is more stable.for those who just needs neutral stability?? Thank you again. Kind regards.
He hasn’t tested the Neo Vista yet sadly. Soon. We’ll have a vista vs blast video soon.
@@DoctorsofRunning can’t tell you how much we appreciate the shoe comparisons, and the written up reviews are so useful. I don’t buy a pair of shoes, without checking YOUR reviews first!
I dont understand how vista can be stable being max stacked and soft.
@@TheValonquar TRIED THE vista, not a stable shoe, ultra soft midsole and likely bouncier than the SB 2. Neo vista is a good shoe but quite different feel,.
Superblast 2 or neo vista for long marathon training runs?
Midfoot looks low, toe box narrow. Is that true?
Hope they offer this in a Wide fit!
Relatively normal fitting, I think it looks a little narrow because of all of the sole flare. A tad more volume through the Superblast 2 than 1.
@@djsalassmc Thank you! Will check it out.
How about price? Is it more expensive than superblast1?
Same price, $200
What about the sizing? Did you pick the same size for both of the shoes?
Same size!
Sizing seems to be different opinions on the reviews for the new superblast. .. I am size 10.5 on alot of shoes including the ASICS kayano but clearly had to size down to 10 for the original superblast ... Should I stick with the 10 ? Or go back up to 10.5 ? I like to have room in the toe box ?@@DoctorsofRunning
Due to its firmness does it offer a degree of stability? I pronate but fully stable shoes are too much
Probably. SB1 is quite stable.
Work your glutes big toe down single leg leg press and this problem will go away
Under or over pronation is only a problem if it affects your knees or ankles.
I have a similar problem. I pronate (on my right foot more than the left). I was fitted for a stability shoe and it hurt my ankles. Then I moved to a neutral shoe (Brooks Ghost) and they worked for a while until my knees started hurting. I bought the SB1 and honestly I've had no pain. I'm still blown away by them after a couple hundred kilometres. I know everyone is different, but the SB1s definitely work for me. I will be getting the SB2 as well. Good luck!
349 gr? Maybe 249
So sad can't afford my dream shie 😢
Finish running in your first pair, then get the new one
Kudos to you, but I would not bother to test every pair that shows at my doorstep if I were in your position, guys. As far as I know you all have real jobs and DOR is a fun project but that's it.
Everybody in the comments is like "But how it compares to this, how it compares to that... I need stability, I need shoe for this and this injury... There is a TON of shoe reviews out there, if DOR hasnn't review them (yet), then compare the shoe to the closest thing that exist and look for a review of that. Or just wait, they will get to it eventually.
“They changed the outsole to make it a little more grippy and versatile…”. Have you been taking to the trails with your Superblast’s, David? 😂
😅
I must the only runner that hated the Superblast 😂
I don’t blame you mine took a while to soften up
Superblast didn't work for me either. I felt like I couldn't compress the foam enough to get over that geometry. It left my legs feeling more fatigued than other shoes.
not in wide they suck
