ASICS Unisex SUPERBLAST Running Shoes

The original SuperBlast is my all-time favorite running shoe. This is very, very close. The only reason it doesn't overtake the original in my mind is that the bottom, softer layer of foam (I don't feel like looking up Asics' marketing terms) isn't quite as cushioning as the original. Asics used a more environmentally friendly material, but it does make the ride a tad firmer, even after the shoe is broken in. I'm nit-picking, though - this is a fantastic shoe. Good energy return, comfortable, great outer sole (slightly grippier than the original) and shockingly light. It's equally at home doing weekend long runs and speedy interval training. For a runner like me (usually 10-20 miles/week, with a handful of 10-milers, half-marathons and 5ks per year), this really could be your only running shoe.

These are my first pair of Asics! I am usually between an 8 and 8 1/2 and i went with the 8 1/2 and they fit perfect! They are super comfortable and light! My feet are not too skinny but not too wide, kind of in between and they seem roomy enough. Haven't ran in them yet so we shall see. I love the light sage color, very neutral!

aesthetics of this shoe is awesomei feel like wearing it out as wellalso great for running, I have done some 10k in this and they feel great, training for a half marathon nowEdit: i finally did my first half marathon and this shoe and it was amazing all through, response was good, i didn’t feel much fatigue after like i thought i would, no shine splits as well. I will be increasing my pace on the next training

I love this shoe. Use it for just about all of my runs and even walking around. Good upper, fits true to size, decent outsole grip, very durable, very stable by design.Caveats: it is MUCH FIRMER than any other popular max cushion shoe on the market, so if you're looking for a soft easy run/recovery type of shoe you'll probably be disappointed. It is very stiff, less flexible than some plated shoes I have. There is no ground feel. It takes a long time to break in; my oldest pair has 70 miles in it and is just beginning to feel somewhat broken in. On the other hand, the firmness of the midsole means it should be a very durable shoe and indeed I've heard reports of Superblast 1 going for as much as 1000 km and still feeling firm and resilient.

I'm a 215 lb woman in my upper 50s and I needed a running shoe that's well cushioned, durable, has ample support and has a wide toe area. I bought a black pair and a teal pair. The black is a perfect fit. The teal is too big even though it says it’s the same size as the black. So I’m returning the teal and will order one size down .

It’s a great shoe and maybe it needs to be broken in more but honestly I like the cumulus more. I really only saw a 2-3 second per mile difference in speed and I was really expecting more given the hype, huge stack height and price tag. People are comparing it to supershoes. It’s not. 1% or a bit more speed difference. Again it’s nice shoe and very stable for long runs and lightweight for strides and intervals. It’s just not a good value and I feel silly with the large stack height. Still an asicis loverUpdate: I guess it’s taken a couple of runs for the shoe to break in. Or maybe it was just a bad run the first time. It’s faster now. 5-7 seconds per mile and about 2 to 2 1/2% faster so I guess it’s half a plated supershoe which is quite good. So Yhea I’m happy with it and updating to 5 stars

Bought a brand new pair of these shoes to bring on my trip to Tokyo, Japan and I couldn't have been any happier. I was walking 15k steps or more almost daily and never felt discomfort. The cushion provided felt like I was walking on a cloud and the shock absorption was perfect. The grip provided was excellent and the shoes never became uncomfortably hot. When I arrived back home, I noticed that the shoes still looked brand new even though I used them daily for 30 days.

By far the most expensive shoes I've ever bought, but also the most comfortable. Very lightweight, yet sturdy. The wide soles provide great stability.
