Any other mer mortals have a take on the super blast by asics?
My current rotation is Novablast2, Novablast3, and Superblast. The 2 you sink into, very spongy, very safe, but an energy suck, and no bounce. The 3 is firmer but still a little sink in, some energy suck, and some nice bounce. The SB has very little sink in, and tons of bounce and sweet energy return. For a senior athlete, with aching old bones, the 2 is not a race shoe, but nice long trainer. The 3 is a great trainer, but could be a safe race shoe. The SB will be my race shoe this season. I feel like I could let loose in it, without worrying about getting hurt. I’ve already done several long runs in it, with no issues. I’ll be using it for a BQ attempt this fall. Time will tell, but if it lasts, it has all the makings of the best shoe I’ve ran in, in the last 40 years.
