SUPERBLAST 2
Marathon workhorse, but loud and clunky at slow paces.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I loved the Nike Invincible 2, went through a few pairs of Vomero 17s and 18s, but these seemed so narrow they gave me a blister on the outside edge below my big toe that took a couple of weeks to heal. I've been too afraid to put them back on again!
I had 4 pairs over the V1 & V2s. Kept the final pair as a memento. lol
That's one of my favorites though I liked it from the very start (though v2)
I’ve found all the Nike line to be too unstable for me. Even the Invincibles require a lot of focus not to roll my ankle. I’ve tried a lot of brands and I’ve enjoyed Sauconys, Brooks, New Balance etc, but my current rotation is pretty much all ASICs or Adidas.
Biggest surprise of last year for me. Only Nikes I ever put stock in for years were racing shoes. The invincibles and Pegasus lines and any other daily trainers felt like trash. The Vomero 18’s and especially plus’ really surprised me. I’m on my 5th pair already haha
Superblast. I liked the invincibles too, despite their built quality being shitty.
