ASICS Superblast 2: Kilometres in Action

Meet Nadine Frost Corinaldi, a dedicated runner from Ottawa with thousands and thousands of kilometres under her belt—literally! Having laced up running shoes since childhood, she’s tested countless pairs, but the moment she slipped into the ASICS Superblast OG model (check out our review of the first version here!), she knew she’d found something special.

Now, as a mother of two, Nadine’s back in the game, training harder than ever in her trusty ASICS Superblast 2. With over 1,000 kilometres logged in these shoes, she’s gearing up to conquer the California International Marathon this December, already breaking in her third pair. Nadine’s passion for the Superblast 1 & 2 is undeniable:

“The ASICS Superblast is truly the most versatile and durable running shoe I’ve ever experienced. Since I tried my first pair a few years ago, they have become my go-to shoe for long runs, easy runs (especially on tired legs), and tempo workouts. It is hard to find a shoe that is responsive and light, and also still feels fresh after hundreds of kilometres; they are truly the best in the game. I can’t wait to take my new pair of Superblast 2 on my next long run!”

You Heard It Here First: Superblast 2 Runner Reviews

“During tempo runs, the Superblast 2 really shined. The shoe’s responsive nature made it easy to pick up the pace, and it felt surprisingly nimble for a shoe with such a high stack height. I also took it on several recovery runs, and it didn’t miss a beat, offering a soft landing for tired legs without feeling mushy.”

“One thing I really liked about the Superblast 2 is the new outsole–you can barely feel it! They improved the rubber, so it’s way more durable now, and the grip is awesome whether you're running on wet or dry roads. Even when the pavement gets slick, I felt totally confident that I wouldn’t slip. It just locks you down and keeps you steady.”

“The ASICS Superblast 2 is honestly my go to for all my long and recovery runs. It’s super cushioned, so your legs feel fresh, even after tons of mileage. It’s got that balance where you can just keep going, and you don’t really feel the wear and tear on your muscles. My go-to shoe when I just need a comfortable shoe that can last forever without wearing down.”

“The FF BLAST™ TURBO midsole is honestly the highlight of this shoe. From the moment I stepped in, I could feel how much energy it gave back with every step. It’s super cushioned, but not in an overly squishy way—it’s just the right balance. I love a shoe that gives a good pop off the ground, and the rocker shape in these really helps with that smooth, strong roll from heel to toe. It makes every long run, recovery run, and just ANY run feel effortless! Also, this new colourway is EVERYTHING!”
- May Lu, BlackToe Staff, est. 2015, a Superblast SUPER FAN

“The Superblast became one of my favourite shoes from the first time I tried it on. Fun fact: I wrote our original Superblast review and modelled the shoes in our debut photoshoot! The Superblast 2 lived up to my hopes and dreams, keeping everything that was perfect about the first edition and fine-tuning a few things (That grippy outsole! The new upper!) that make V2 really shine. I use this shoe for most of my runs, particularly long runs, recovery runs, and tempo work.”
- Sarah, BlackToe Staff, est. 2018
