FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Superblast 2?

Who is the Superblast 2 designed for?
It is designed for adult male runners who need maximum cushioning and elite performance for all types of training, competitions, and long distances, primarily on asphalt and pavement.
What type of cushioning technology is used?
It utilizes a combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS and FF BLAST™ TURBO cushioning in the midsole, which is also found in ASICS' METASPEED™ racing models.
What is the weight of the Superblast 2?
The shoe weighs approximately 249 grams, making it relatively light for a shoe offering maximum cushioning.
What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The heel-to-toe drop is 8 mm.
Can this shoe be used for racing?
Yes, the advanced cushioning and responsive nature make it suitable for racing, especially for runners who prefer a highly cushioned feel over longer distances.
Is this shoe suitable for overpronators?
The Superblast 2 is a neutral shoe, best suited for runners with a neutral gait. Overpronators may require a stability shoe.
How do I care for my Superblast 2 trainers?
Clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap, air dry away from direct heat, and store in a cool, dry place. Avoid machine washing.
Troubleshooting
Unusual noise during runs
Check for any debris trapped in the outsole grooves or between midsole layers. Ensure the laces are tied correctly and not causing friction.
Discomfort or hotspots
Verify the shoe size is correct. Try adjusting the lacing system, particularly using the Wing Fit System for a more personalized midfoot lockdown. Consider using different socks.
Reduced cushioning feel over time
While the FF BLAST™ cushioning is durable, its peak responsiveness may slightly decrease with very high mileage. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to extreme heat, which can degrade materials. For most users, the cushioning remains effective for their intended lifespan.
Slipping on wet surfaces
The AHARPLUS™ outsole provides good traction, but like all rubber outsoles, performance may be reduced on extremely wet or slick surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
