ASICS Superblast 2 Ekiden Running Shoes

Move from feeling standard to super in the Superblast 2. It's designed to help provide the most responsive, energised feel compared to other shoes in the ASICS cushioning range.​ The midsole features a combination of FF Blast Plus Eco and FF Turbo Plus cushioning. Also used in ASICS' Metaspeed racing models, this foam helps create one of the lightest and bounciest running experiences. This shoe's upper construction features an asymmetric mesh design.

Engineered Mesh Upper

Providing you with enhanced levels of breathability and comfort, the ASICS Superblast 2 has an engineered mesh upper. The material will allow a steady flow of air in and out of the shoes, which will provide constant breathability and ventilation, and help regulate temperature to keep you going for longer in comfort. The gusseted tongue with wing fit system improves the midfoot fit and reduces tongue sliding, while the heel pull tab assists in putting the shoes on and off. The upper also features a traditional lacing which locks the foot to provide a secure fit and feel, and completing the Superblast 2 are reflective details which enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

100% of the shoe's upper is recycled. ASICS have used less water and reduced their carbon emissions while producing the shoe's sockliner, and the insole, toe box, eyelet, tongue and collar lining are all made from recycled materials.

FF Turbo Plus and FF Blast Plus Eco Midsole

Extremely lightweight and responsive, the Superblast 2 utilises a two-piece midsole for exceptional cushioning and energy return. The first layer features the innovative FF Turbo Plus cushioning, which helps to generate an exceptional underfoot response, to help you go and feel a lot faster. Upon every step, the midsole compresses before quickly snapping back to its original shape to give you an explosive response. The midsole will also provide cushioning to take weight off the joints, like the knees and ankles. The second layer comprises FF Blast Plus Eco, which provides lightweight impact absorption and a responsive rebound for optimal energy return, so you're able to push further for longer whilst reducing the chance of injury.

ASICSGRIP Outsole

Outstanding grip and traction are guaranteed with the ASICSGRIP outsole. Keeping you anchored to the ground beneath you will improve efficiency, making sure that every second counts. The rubber can form a solid grip on surfaces beneath you for complete control in all conditions. Additionally, the rubber is extremely tough and abrasion-resistant, which means that it will maintain its shape and definition over a long period. The design of the outsole will also provide further traction, as it will dig in to provide further control. An AHARPLUS heel plug enhances the durability of the outsole while the trampoline-inspired outsole design provides a more responsive bounce-back.
