If we thought we had seen it all this season,the Japanese company surprises us, and much, with the next release of the ASICS Superblast, a model that is positioned within its catalog as the lightest and most bouncy ASICS shoe in its range of shoes that do not have carbon plate. A daily training shoe that incorporates the best and most advanced technology of the brand so far as its new FF Blast Turbo foam and undoubtedly aims to be a reference model in terms of cushioning, comfort and performance.
The novelty of this shoe lies in the use of FF BLAST TURBO foam in the midsole. A lighter and more reactive foam offering a greater rebound sensation without the need to use a carbon plate. So far, this foam has only been used in the ASICS METASPEED, the fastest running shoe from the Japanese brand.
The ASICS Superblast is capable of delivering an ultra-smooth, lightweight, dynamic and highly reactive running experience, i.e. it combines all the benefits of the fastest and best running shoes. All this with a high midsole profile and a ventilated upper but with enough body to offer support and foot support.
We have before us a daily training shoe to accumulate large volumes of training with maximum comfort and protection for our feet and legs. But also for those quality workouts where we are going to have to run at faster paces. We could say that it has many similarities with Novablast 3 in that it will be a shoes for running at fast paces, more or less under 4:45-5:00 min/km. Possibly the differential aspect is that the Superblast will have an even greater reactivity, making them suitable for use in sessions of changes of pace and even series.
Although they are really focused on training, they are a very interesting option for use in competition, especially in half marathons and marathons where you always need that extra comfort and response. A model that will fit better in runners of medium and light weight, up to 80-85kg in men and 70-75kg in women and that present a correct running technique.
ASICS designers have given a tremendous blow on the table, merging in its midsole two of the best compounds of its catalog and , why not say it, of the entire market. In the lower layer we will find the FFBLAST+ technology seen in models like the Magic Speed 2 and in the upper, the FFBLAST TURBO, the secret weapon of the Metaspeed Sky or the Edge+Metaspeed Sky. Surely for many of the Japanese company 's fans, a dream come true.
The Superblast have all the ingredients to be a shoe with a truly exquisite feel along with a great protective capacity, an aspect that will promote a later onset of muscle fatigue caused by the passage of kilometers. In addition, the fusion of both foams will offer a high degree of reactivity to the shoe, propelling the body in a more efficient and effective way in each stride.
Despite being focused on long runs at light to medium paces, its geometry invites you to step on the accelerator at certain times. We have no doubt that the shoe will respond as soon as we increase the pace.
The seamless mesh upper also reminds us of the aforementioned Novablast 3, a very light and breathable material that not only does not add weight to the shoe, but also helps the foot breathe during long sessions. In addition, we note an attractive design in two colors that gives a racing touch to the model.
On the lower part, it has an outsole that partly resembles the ASICS Novablast 3 TR, with a pattern with several holes in the central part that aim to increase the flexibility of the model and reduce some grams of weight. It incorporates a rubber that occupies the areas of greater contact, while the FFBLAST+ is visible on the remaining surface. An outsole that will offer good performance and above all, durability.
In words of ASICS, these Superblast will become our best allies for our long runs and tempo runs incorporating one of the lightest and most rebounding foams ever seen. At RUNNEA we are eager to test them to wear out the sole and see if they meet all the expectations placed in them, which are not few.
