SUPERBLAST 3

I just bought another pair of SB2s, by the time they’re done I’m praying Asics wake up and create a worthy successor. SB2 upper + Megablast midsole would be the best selling running shoe of all time. Not criticising the SB3, it’s just a frustrating switch-up from the first 2.

Newest additions: -ASICS Superblast 3. They really broke in at 15 miles or so and it’s a great max distance trainer. I’m really liking it -Hoka Cielo X1 3.0. Very aggressive and squeaky. I loved both the 1.0 and the 2.0 but I’m thinking this one isn’t for me. I’ve only done one 7 mile tempo run in them so I need to try them again. -Mizuno Neo Vista. I keep going back to this shoe. Of the 15 pair I currently have, this is the one that I love for long runs with even a little bit of tempo work

If you want to stick with Asics at my budget ka at may mahahanapan ka, Superblast 3. In my experience it's like a premium version of the Novablast 5. Otherwise if you really liked the NB5 then get another pair para at least fresh pa siya come race day.

I’m a very similar runner to you pace-wise and stability-wise. I’m running in the Asics SB3 and Saucony Azura after also searching for a HM shoe (brooks glycerin GTS for marathon training/long runs). Loving them both! The asics are much softer compared to the firmness of the Azura so it may be a personal preference as well. Good luck!

I have SB2 and SB3, and I'm a heavy runner \~195 lbs I'm on my second pair of SB2 with 300 km and the first one lasted 1000 km, still have it and it still feels good I retired them because of the milestone and because of the color way... I only have logged about 100 km in the SB3 and they look and feel as good as new. Sole looks good even considering that I run in a very abrasive road. My previous experience with super soft shoe was Mizuno Neo Vista, Amazing feeling but durability was very poor. Foam deformed and sole had serious flaws after less than 400 kms. Asics shoes are expensive but I've been loyal since they have a very good durability for my weight. I've own Novablast 4, kayano and Nimbus. All good.

I prefer the SB2s and I have just returned the SB3. It was too soft and unstable and gave me ankle, knee and quad pain. The SB2 are firmer and stable and that personally works for me (and my legs and feet) as I mildly pronate.

I have 1000km on my vomero plus with basically less wear showing on forefoot than my sb3 with 50km. I'm really unsure on the durability of these
