The ASICS Superblast 2 is a high-performance training shoe designed for runners seeking speed and versatility. This shoe is ideal for neutral runners due to its balanced cushioning, featuring a midsole that enhances propulsion and comfort during runs.
The updated upper provides improved breathability while maintaining support, contributing to an overall snug fit. Lab results show the shoe has a weight of 260 grams, which is manageable for both training and racing purposes.
